<p>Today is world Malbec day! In 1853 the president of Argentina began his mission to transform his country’s wine industry. Working with a French soil expert, he introduced new vines including the Malbec varietal to the diverse terrain of Argentina. The Malbec grape began to thrive and soon a more superior wine began to be produced in Argentia than its country of origin, much to the dismay of the French. In honor of this day and that Washington, DC is number one in wine consumption we invite you to the MIXX lobby lounge to try our wine selections!</p>
