WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
There’s no getting around it - if you say you hate Merlot, you will be accused of having recently seen Sideways. One might ask you why you hate Merlot? And chances are, you’ve got not one cogent argument outside of a pithy aside that gained momentum with a speed no one saw coming. Chalk it up to everyone wanting to sound like a wine snob, which was fashionable in the early aughts. So screw up your self-loathing and stick your beak in a bowl of this detestable quaffer – ready to guzzle till yer purple in the muzzle and you scream uncontrollably for all to hear, “J’aime le merlot!”
