Hey, they've finally found a use for Merlot!

I won't comment on tobacco if you don't comment on wine. Arbitrary criticisim of Merlot has become trendy by the movie-going set, but it really makes people sound ignorant.

I love a good Merlot.

We have the movie "Sideways" to thank for that, I suppose.

Me, too. A good California Merlot. (Although the Aussies make pretty good stuff, too.)

Glad to hear it. Most of the Merlot I've tried makes me think of paint thinner. I'll stay with Cabernet. And I've never seen "Sideways"...

Merlot tastes nice but for some weird reason it makes me feel sick as a dog in the morning. And no, it is not the amount consumed, thank you very much. I'm fine with Cabernet but I can't even handle a Cabernet/Merlot mix.
