This year, Valentine's Day fell right in the middle of Carnival week and might have gone somewhat unnoticed. In any case, once the party is over, everyone returns to their routine, and once again, space opens up for remembering.
That's how I found myself listening to The Cure's "Love Song" in the car, with that line among others: “However far away, I will always love you”. It made me think of someone, because who hasn't cried at some point over an unrequited love? Or who doesn't carry a long-distance love—one of those that perhaps slipped away without us realizing, and today, far away in time, still sparks some quiet expectation?
And that triggers the following thought: certainly, one can associate a song with a specific moment in life, because when we hear it, we are instantly transported back to that exact place. The same thing can happen with wines—we often end up sharing them with someone. Or maybe it was a gift we received, and when we open the bottle, we bring back the memory of that moment.
Since at 1000malbecs.com we have Malbecs from Argentina's provinces, each one can transport us to a particular place where we can recreate our own personal story. Here is a top 5 of suggestions. Of course, everyone can build their own.
