Watch/listen to our latest episode, where we interview our friends Dom and Cathy who help us determine if a $12 Aldi Malbec (2023 Pedra Negra Reserve Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina) is as good as a $90 Malbec (2018 Catena Alta Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina). To do the comparison we conduct a blind tasting. The results are surprising.
