Ruta 22 Malbec

What Possessed Us To Open Wine?

We have a new puppy! Our friends needed to come over to meet the puppy. They have a Shih Tzu, too, so they understand the deep meaning of the universe, as all Shih Tzu owners do, as evidenced by their choice of dog breed.

What Possessed Us To Open THIS Wine?

It was new on the shelf. It was a Malbec. It called my name, or really it was David’s name, lover of dogs and Malbec. We needed to try it to see if we should buy a case.

What’s So Great About It?

Jan, a white wine drinker, said it was good and slipped down nicely. Jessica said it reminded her of Rum? I thought it was very smooth. David said it is one of the best Malbecs he has ever tasted.

Fantasy This Wine Engendered:

I am a good dog parent. I will help train this dog to NOT pee all over my house. I will also commit to not sharing all Malbec with the dog, but will keep it all for myself and occasionally let David have some.

Conversation This Wine Engendered:

After Afghanistan, how can young men not be changed?

The deep and controversial subject of how to potty train the dog

It’s me or the dog
