Tip:
Grapes are the
chief ingredient that makes the wine tastes
the way it does. There are diverse varieties
of wine grapes representing a small fraction
of the approximately 600 types of grapes.
Every grape variety possesses its own
distinct blend of characteristic, among
which, only a few are suitable to make fine
quality wine.

Merlot is a
versatile and soft tasting red wine with
light tannins. It is
a smooth, dry wine with medium to full body
and herbaceous flavors.
Merlot is best with poultry and grilled
meats, but actually goes well with most
foods.

"Come,
come,
good wine is a good familiar creature
if it be well used: exclaim no more against
it."
