Raise a glass if you’re getting tired of pouring the same old red wine in the glass. There you go! The firepit beckons so the Cabernet is poured? Again. There’s a roast chicken in the oven for dinner and the Pinot Noir has been opened yet another time? Boring. Burgers are on the grill and the search for the second bottle of Malbec ensues? Ugh. You’re watching Sideways for the hundredth time and laughing over your third glass of Merlot? Good for you, but yawn.
Thankfully, the Crush On This crew is here to salvage these moments. In the following four episodes, we offer exceptional alternatives to your beloved, yet time-worn, red wine choices. Enjoy each video then go to your favorite wine shop for some new pours. Enjoy!

Gaining international popularity, Malbec wines are often consumer friendly in price and flavor. Malbec wines are lush and round with flavors of plum, vanilla and mocha. Malbec is a French variety but is mostly grown in its’ new home of Argentina. Known as Côt and Auxerrois in France, Malbec comes from the Bordeaux region.
