muggle not Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Any one tried Trivento from Argentina? No, but I shall try to find one of their Malbec wines. It looks interesting and I do enjoy a nice malbec. I did some research and found that Trivento is a fairly new Winery in Argentina and run by Concho y Toro of Chile. http://www.banfivintners.com/trivento/history.html Pontalbo, I would really recommend that you find a nice wine store and buy your wine rather than buying something online. Try your 'Yellow Pages" Quote
dogmatix Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 I'm going to Total Wine in the morning! So excited! Quote
Maureen Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 No, but I shall try to find one of their Malbec wines. It looks interesting and I do enjoy a nice malbec. The one I have taken a liking to is a Shiraz-Malbec. Quote
muggle not Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 The one I have taken a liking to is a Shiraz-Malbec. The next time I am in a wine store i shall look for the Shiraz-Malbec by Trivento. Quote
Lilywhite Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Having a glass of Tall Gum Shiraz, it's one of our best sellers. Not my favourite best ever, but it is quite nice. Mmmmmm Quote
JudyB Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Oooh Shiraz is my favourite kind of red wine Quote
Lilywhite Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 It was very nice Judy, went down well Just having a small drop of a liqueur we bought at a fair today, it's called black mountain and it's an apple and blackcurrent brandy. It's a bit syrupy but the taste is lovely. I also picked up a bottle of blackcurrent wine because it looked tasty. Mmmm Quote

Mmmmmm Just did a Google on the wine and it was rated very well. Now I have another wine to look for when in the wine store. Quote

It's a bit syrupy but the taste is lovely. It wasn't the one by Celtic Wines was it? If so I know it well from visiting food fairs! Bought it for my mum for Christmas. Quote
Lilywhite Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 It is yes! The Celtic Spirit Company it says. Just had a sip with ice in it and it's reduced the syrupy texture down a bit. Quote
JudyB Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Yes that's the company. I've had the pleasure of trying their whisky and poteen (have I spelt that right?) - strong stuff but good. I'd say that the brandy is the tastiest though. How's your OU going? Quote
Lilywhite Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 It's very tasty I may have a sneeky peek at the other stuff they do later. OU is Ok at the moment, I'm having a weeks break after the last essay and then it's straight back into the work again. Quote
JudyB Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Yes it's always a relief to get an assignment under your belt. Do they still cover Human Geography, Psychology, Sociology, Economics and Politics on the foundation course? Are you thinking of continuing with social science courses? Quote
muggle not Posted February 28, 2007 Author Posted February 28, 2007 I'm going to Total Wine in the morning! So excited! Well don't keep it a secret. What did you buy. Maureen, what a coincidence. Every Wednesday our paper has a food section and today one of the advertisements by a grocery store (Harris Teeter - for dogmatix info) included an advertisement for the Trivento wine. Tomorrow we go grocery shopping and I will get a bottle of the wine. Quote

dogmatix Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Well don't keep it a secret. What did you buy. A case of Diamond Claret and a couple of nice cigars for my husband:smile2: Harris Teeter has a wine club Muggs, If you join your get % off on ... oh I can't remember exactly but it's something or other. I keep meanig to join. I'll let you know. Quote
dogmatix Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Here we go Muggs: http://www.harristeeter.com/default.aspx?pageId=161 Quote
muggle not Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Here we go Muggs: http://www.harristeeter.com/default.aspx?pageId=161 Thanks Pedigree (dogmatix to some). I will sign up. Maureen, they didn't have the "Shiraz-Malbec" but I did get a bottle of the "Malbec" by Triventa. I will let you know when I get a chance to try it. Quote
Nici Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I have a nice bottle of Chanti waiting to be opened next week And even better it didn't cost me anything because my Dad ran a Cheese and Wine evening last weekend and they had a few bottles of the wine left over so he bought one round for me!!!! Great! Quote
Lilywhite Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 sounds great Nici, nothing better than free wine I've just opened my Blackcurrent wine and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's lovely, however I feel it's a bit too sweet for mr to drink very often. Quote
muggle not Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 Thanks Pedigree (dogmatix to some). I will sign up. Maureen, they didn't have the "Shiraz-Malbec" but I did get a bottle of the "Malbec" by Triventa. I will let you know when I get a chance to try it. We were invited out to dinner on Sunday and I took 2 bottles of wine. One of which was the Triventa Malbec. The wine was very enjoyable and everyone liked it. It went well with the grilled steak. Unfortunately I only got to have 1 glass of the wine. Quote
Maureen Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 Well Muggles, you just have to do as I did! Buy some more!! ;-) Glad you enjoyed it though. Perhaps this time you will find some of the Shiraz-Malbec Quote
Sofia Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 I am taking a bottle of "mommy's Time Out" to my sister's this weekend;) Quote
Maureen Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Well as I enjoyed Trivento's Shiraz-Malbec, I decided to try their Carbarnet-Merlot. Definately on my buy again list. Quote
