Don’t believe everything you see in movies when it comes to wine (E.g., “Sideways”.  Those of you who’ve seen it probably knew immediately what I was talking about).  There is nothing wrong with Merlot.  This wine rocks for the price, which I’m finding in Sam’s Club here in the Sarasota area for six bucks a bottle.  Crazy good wine for the price.  Check it out.

My rating: 87 points.
