Name of Product: Graffigna Centenario Malbec 2007
Price of Product: $13.00
Where can the product be purchased: at liquor and wine stores nationwide
Description of Product: ”If you’re looking for a gift for the man in your life, why not create a candlelit dinner for two? If his favorite meal includes any rich meat dishes (we bet it does!), like red meat or lamb, consider pairing it with Graffigna’s Centenario Malbec 2007 (srp $13). Complex with aromas of very ripe blackberries and black pepper, the palate it is smooth, with well integrated tannins that highlight the smoky, roasted and grilled flavors in rich meat dishes.”
Review of Product: Red wine tends to give me a headache but I wanted to at least try this Malbec. I served it with steak and was happy with the balance of richness between the meat and the wine. The wine was strong but did not overpower the meat. The finish was silky and left no aftertaste for me.

Name of Product: Graffigna Pinot Grigio 2009
Price of Product: $13.00
Where can the product be purchased: at liquor and wine stores nationwide
Description of Product: ”If you’re not looking to cook this Valentine’s Day, but still want to give your date something they can enjoy as spring approaches, Graffigna’s well-structured Malbec makes a great gift. If your date likes grilled fish or drinking white wine, the Graffigna Pinot Grigio 2009 (srp $13) is very aromatic with notes of tropical flowers, peach and honeysuckle. It starts off silky on the palate and finishes with a crisp, brisk acidity and notes of nectarine, honeydew and citrus. As a sweet gesture, insert a note that says “To open on our next date” to guarantee another outing.”
Review of Product: I am a white wine fan and this Pinot Grigio was delightful. It was not overly strong and there was no bite from it. Served chilled, it was refreshing and crisp and was the perfect accompaniment to the delicate fish dish I had made.
I received samples of these products to review at no charge but my opinions remain my own.
