Here are some great pictures of owner/ winemaker Rodrigo Arizu of VINA ALICIA ( Lujon de Cuyo , Mendoza, Argentina ) here and at the Tallula restaurant outside of Clerendon, Arlington Virginia. We tasted many great reds that night, the best made from 100 to 150 year-old vines. I loved them and bought some of each of the three ( NEBBIOLO 2004, an old-mutated clone of Malbec called BROTE NEGRO, 2005 and the CUARZO 2004( 95% Petit Verdot- 5% Grenache & Carignan - ALL selling ON SALE for $72.99 ) and the regular Malbec and the Cabernet Sauvignon ( BOTH $27.99 ). It was quite the evening at the restaurant and then here at noon on Friday. Check the previous blog here in the month of May for all the info. I should have already included these pictures. As you can see they are a bit atmospheric and fun and more on the art side at times. Hope you like and appreciate them. Cheers. All the wines are here now in the store.
