2022 Ambición Merlot

These janked up wines got me taking my own pictures again. Speaking of pictures, what is going on with some of my recent ones? They suddenly look like they're melting. Is it the apocalypse? Maybe this wine fermented into 80% alc and I'm just hallucinating. That'd be nice. 

Otherwise, it's not that great. Usually I like merlots, or at least once I'm a glass in I like them, but this one was just 'meh'. It is fairly bright and jammy; strong cherry note, but it's also thin and too intense for my preference. Acidic nose too [me at EDC: some of my best friends have an acidic nose,]. The cork did say "wine is the union of cultures", and I like that. I unioned with Argentina and thought, "next". 

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 5/10 

2021 Ambicion Malbec

Ah, wine. This bad boy was very smooth, grapey, made me tingly at first. Better cold, I think, but even then, it did some weird stuff to my throat (or it was a coincidence, whatever). Therefore, not my absolute fav, but it was fine.

 I made the paired Harissa-Lamb Skillet Lasagna, except I'm allergic to harissa and my store didn't have lamb, so I used spicy marinara and turkey instead. Those subs actually seemed fine, but the noodles didn't cook super well because there just wasn't enough room in the pan! It tasted good, but not as good as a skillet lasagna could (shout out to my mom on that front).

Overall
Cost: 5/10 [17$]
Taste: 6/10
