Merlot is to wine what power ballads are to rock and roll; the mellow option that many believes to be so passé; however, who doesn't love Sweet Child O'Mine, I don't want to miss a thing, o a fruity glass of the soft tannins and generous taste of laid-back merlot?
The grape is protagonist in many great wines from the legendary french region of Bordeaux; and across the New World, awesome bottles come from Chile and California. In fact, California-based, family-owned winery Gundlach Bundschu is the responsible for this funny short video about the rise, fall and big comeback of merlot. The video was launched about a year ago, and it won the 2012 Wine Spectator video contest.
Watch it, and you'll learn a couple of things while smiling...
