Like just about everything else, Malbec originated in France. It was one of the original blending grapes of Bordeaux where it\u2019s not grown much anymore, but it still thrives in southwest France\u2019s Cahors region. And while home may be France, it was Argentina that arguably made it a star. Today, Malbec is virtually synonymous with Argentina. And because Malbec is the country\u2019s signature grape, the\u00a0Wines of Argentina<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0organization 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
