My Malbec World Day celebration this year prominently features women (as well as some men!) and the wines that they produce. Whether owners or winemakers, these women are responsible for the tasty juice that many of us are privileged to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Like just about everything else, Malbec originated in France. One of the original blending grapes of Bordeaux where it\u2019s not grown much anymore,<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> it still thrives in southwest France\u2019s Cahors region. But while it may have all started in France, Argentina is the country that gave this once humble grape its rock star status. Ask anyone what grape is grown in Argentina and you\u2019ll inevitably hear Malbec. Ask many folks where Malbec is grown and many will tell you Argentina.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because Malbec is the country\u2019s signature grape, Wines of Argentina<\/a> created Malbec World Day in 2011 to pay homage to its famous grape. Celebrated on April 17 each year, its a great day to embrace a grape that may not receive as much attention outside of Argentina. It also serves as a reminder of how excellent this variety can be. But the love is growing and there is even a #MalbecMonday movement afoot on Twitter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
