Mendoza, Argentina
The Searchers (1956)
THURSDAY, JULY 20 @ 06:00 AM (ET)
SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 @ 10:30 PM (ET)
Starring the ever-popular John Wayne and filmed in Utah’s Monument Valley, The Searchers epitomizes the Western and remains one of the most respected films of all time in any genre. Though uncommonly soulful, it tells a compelling rescue story with some of Hollywood’s most thrilling screen moments. Shot in gorgeous VistaVision, it’s also the perfect sidekick to this complex red from the rugged terrain of the Mendoza region.
THE WINE
THE PARTNERSHIP
THE MAGICIAN
That’s what Opi's winemaking peers call him, thanks to his uncanny skill with Malbec. And he’s no stranger to kudos like that: Opi's award cabinet is stuffed with golds, trophies and other accolades for his stunning reds – including the coveted Best Malbec title from The Wines of Argentina Awards (no easy feat, considering the stiff competition from all his Malbec-making countrymen).
WITH FOOD
This Malbec's ripe and juicy black-fruit flavors make it perfect for sipping on its own. It’s also a fantastic match for succulent roasted pork – our favorites include pancetta-wrapped pork tenderloin or a meaty pork shoulder, covered with tangy plum sauce. But if you want to really treat yourself, go for your favorite cut of steak (it’s Malbec's classic match).
