McDonald's is introducing a new sandwich that says "fall" in each tasty bite: the Cheddar Bacon Onion.

The Cheddar Bacon Onion sandwich brings new premium toppings of white cheddar and grilled onions, combined with hickory smoked bacon and finished in a creamy mustard sauce to create a one-of-a-kind taste experience for a limited time only.

Made with premium white chicken breast or 100% Angus beef, McDonald's new Cheddar Bacon Onion is a versatile sandwich.

Dean and I both tried the new topping combo atop an Angus burger. Our verdict: Thumbs up. It's very tasty, offering a sophisticated grownup taste. There's lots of bacon--enough to get some bacon flavor in each bite. The caramelized onions lend the sandwich a bit of sweetness while the white cheddar adds some tang.

The Cheddar Bacon Onion will be available at participating McDonald's restaurants nationwide from October 23 through December 16, 2012.

Don't miss your chance to give this tasty topping combo a try.

Ruta 22 Malbec 2011

To contact us Click HERE
From Patagonia Argentina, the Ruta 22 Malbec 2011 has an deep red-purple-brown hue. Aromas of earth mingle with notes of  plums and raspberries. On the palate, bright fruit and deep earth flavors meet round, firm tannins.

The long legs manage only to outrun the lingering finish.

This wine exceeds expectations, with a suggested retail price of $13 per 750ml bottle.

Bottom Line: Thumbs up.
