You do realise merlot is the main grape for Petrus - one of the most expensive wines in the world

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Give me a Cabernet or a Pinot instead any day.

ANYTHING from the Nickel & Nickel winery is MOST wonderful and I did have their Cabernet last week in Dallas.

Actualy I agree, Pinot is my favorite - particularly a burgundy
Also a big fan of Rioja
I don't mind cabernet, but I think you really need to pay to get a nice one.
I have never tasted a Petrus - an sincerely doubt I ever will, if i was going to splash that much cash - it would be on a really nice Burgundy
I really want a bottle of wine now

I don't spend too much on a wine. I won't buy rotgut, but I'd rather spend my money on Paul's books, since I'm a "completist nut".

lol, they are my two hobbies & the reasons I will never be rich
However I will have a great book case & wine rack!
I can recommend some good french & spannish wine producers to look out for if you ever want to try them.

Congratulations, Paul. Where would we be without you? Well, we wouldn't be here, and I can't think of a more fun place in cyberspace to hang out.
In typical fashion, this thread has already evolved into a wine tasting thread. God forbid any of us actually stick to a topic!

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
