DERF!!! Tell me anything you have to say about the wines she brought home and info she brought back.

They are doing VERY creative things. The most abused grape in the world is Merlot, too - especially in California. Suddenly everyone hates it since that goofball in Sideways, who I adored, bashed it. I heard Merlot sales went down 30% since but I could be spreading bull. Merlot is a good grape, can be awesome, but too easy so few people treat it right. It's a mainstay of Bordeaux, some of the greatest wines ever made... and suddenly it sucks.

I'd LOVE to hear anything Spouse_Derf had to report.
