Messi + Malbec

YAY! Another day of sippin' on some wine. In this case sippin' on one of my favorite grape varieties… Malbec. This week we strictly talk about two of my favorite things, soccer and wine (Messi & Malbec). I get into talking about the Zuccardi family, Inter Miami CF, the MLS and at some point invite Messi and his fam to the family asado (bbq)…. they say you miss 100% of the shots you don't take right? It's a long shot but hey I hope one day Messi comes across this episode and gets the invite. The Di Pasquale family are some of the best host. Also, may or may not have thrown in a random study abroad story about a Croatian guide and a bee. This one is short but probably one of the funnest ones I have filmed to date. Hope you enjoy it! 1:07 - Introducing my favorite grape 2:20 - Introducing the Zuccardi family 5:08 - Messi going to Inter Miami CF 6:00 - Messi changing the MLS culture for the better 7:00 - Inviting Messi to my family asado (bbq) 7:45 - Tasting the Malbec 9:24 - Why I love Malbecs 10:15 - Three month asado (bbq) break 11:00 - Bee in Croatia 2014 12:58 - Don't fear the bee, pet the bee… 14:05 - Try the Zuccardi Malbec, you won't regret it.
