I generally don’t drink alcohol anymore. Everytime I do, it hits me hard and I have either a headache or a total lack of energy the next day. (And I’m not talking about getting blitzed here, people, I’m talking about 3 drinks max.)  So, it was out of the ordinary for me to get some wine tonight. The liquor store close to my parents’ home has an organic section, so I checked it out. I’ve had an organic Syrah from this store, but I honestly don’t remember the vintage. Tonight I found Yellow+Blue organic Malbec in an eco-friendly carton. The wine was smooth, with delicious notes of fruit, and had a quick but tasty finish. I had three glasses and felt buzzed for a brief amount of time, but not flagged like I would have been with any other wine. I’ll definitely buy it again! Hubs mentioned the fact that it can’t be very eco-friendly if it’s imported from Argentina. So true, Hubs, so true. But the packaging takes less energy to produce and ship than glass bottles and, like I said, the wine was great! For something I don’t buy often, I think it’s worthwhile. And I like their tagline: Yellow+Blue=Green!
