"I've had a blast creating recipes to pair with the award-winning wines from Alamos and now I can't wait to see the creative pairings that I know our fans will come up with," said Richman. "The versatility of this Malbec means you really can dare to pair with just about anything, so the challenge is on!"

Whether it's Monday night dinner, a big game BBQ, or a meal fit for a king, fans of culinary exploration are invited to submit a photo which shows a daring food and wine pairing to the "Dare to Pair Contest" on the Alamos Wines Facebook page – a full recipe is not required. Richman will select a Grand Prize winner who will receive an all-expenses paid trip to New York and join him for an exciting dining experience in the city. For complete contest rules, please visit Facebook.com/AlamosWines.*

Richman's new book debuted this week and features two of his very own culinary creations designed to pair with the high-quality wines from Alamos: his twist on a traditional burger, the Malbec Burger with Creole Mustard Tomato Jam, and the multi-layered, chorizo-packed Sloppy 'Zo! sandwich, perfect for entertaining.

Grown at the foothills of Argentina's Andes Mountains in Mendoza, Alamos Malbec is America's favorite Argentine wine.² The unique growing conditions result in a wine with bold layers of flavor and excellent natural acidity, making it easy to dare to pair with a wide variety of foods.

In addition to Malbec, the Alamos portfolio of award-winning Argentine wines also includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Blend, Seleccion Malbec, Chardonnay, and the bright, fruity white wine Torrontes.
