In the US Argentine Malbecs are plentiful, I will hope that some of the
ones I know are found in your market. In general Argentina makes great
malbec at all price points. For French Malbec look to wines labeled "Cahors"

Forget that I present here the malbecs available at La Cabana in Buenos
Aires I have had a few and will note them, these go from expensive down
(IIRC)

Escorihuela Gascon one of my favorite $15 Malbecs
Achaval Ferrer I have seen this one in the US for $29-40
Rutini Rutini is a major player with a wide variety of price points
Alto Las Hormigas another good one
as are Norton and Terrazas

If you can't find any of these ... well, ask again!
