Wine
When most people think wine and Argentina, they almost invariably think malbec. But some vintners are having great success with another red grape, and the proof is in the bottle with the 2010 Piattelli Premium Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($15). The grapes grow at 3,900 feet and produce a lighter-than-usual cabernet with blue and red berry and chocolate notes, plus a plush finish. Try it with any beef dish, from burgers to filets to fajitas, or a dessert featuring dark chocolate or blue cheese.
Available at Swirl, BrightWines, Cellars (RoseÂville), Surdyk's, Haskell's, Dolce Vita, Princeton's and others.

Music Review: Anitta welcomes listeners into her 'Funk Generation' on new album
First, Anitta took over Brazil. Now, the world. The trilingual Brazilian pop star has returned with a new album, the club-to-bedroom ready ''Funk Generation.'' It is an infectious collection of dance songs celebrating a once maligned genre that also manages to experiment beyond its confines. But those searching for more mainstream pop music should look elsewhere.
