I was lucky enough to receive two, great bottles of red wine as gifts recently. The first was a Cotes du Rhone from my parents for our anniversary, and the second was a lovely Malbec I got for my birthday. I forgot to take notes of what they tasted like while I drank them, and now, all I can offer is that they’re really good. And, you should try them.
