Any true wine aficionados will remember this quote- “If ANYONE orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any f-ing Merlot!” This classic line from Paul Giamatti’s character in the movie Sideways may have put a damper on Merlot sales, but it didn’t last long! That old curmudgeon. Merlot should be on your radar as a PERFECT winter wine. Let me give you a SNAPSHOT of Merlot from my eyes. Merlot’s bitch slap from Sideways only prodded winemakers to improve its quality. This made so-so Merlots a heck a of a lot better, and good Merlots spiral into the realm of fabulous!
