Beer Reviews: Two Roads Ok2berfest & Ballast Point Pumpkin Down

Wine Review: Colomé Estate Malbec 2013

This is the second of two reviews I'm doing for Colomé, the first one being their 2015 Torrontés.

I really wanted to make my wine pick for this month one from 2010 as a toast to my daughter's sixth birthday and, luckily for me, this beauty is currently on that vintage. Carpineto is based in the Chianti region of Italy and they produce many different kinds of Tuscan wine, from entry...
