Budget wine thread

Malbec is an awesome red that a lot of people
Haven't heard of. It's a good dinner party wine. The reason i say this is because wine snobs can enjoy it, people who don't drink wine frequently can enjoy, and the person hosting the party can Enjoy it as well since there are several brands offering bottles less than $10. I prefer Malbecs that are cast in oak, as I love the oaky ( is this a word) flavors.
