A Loire Valley Malbec that is frankly funky (maybe the chicken on the label is THE "funky chicken"?).  Cot as it's called in the Loire Valley was the go-to bistro red in Nantes as late as the 1930s before it was crowded out to plant still more Melon de Bourgogne.  Marc Ollivier's grandfather kept talking about how much he missed it, so he planted some next to his Muscadet vines to create this juicy bistro red with a dollop of barnyard funk. The perfect companion to Andouillette (a French sausage made from pork offal, like the intestines, and seasoned with onions, wine, and other spices that one eats with as much spicy mustard as you can stand).

For You If:   When you hear someone say, "Bring on the funk," you get thirsty; you want to drink the flavors of history - this is pretty typical of what you'd have drunk in a French bistro for most of the 19th and first half of the 20th Centuries.

Not For You If:   You don't like earthy, funky, wines.
