Merlot deserves a second chance, and the Barrel to Bottle crew is here to give it one. This wine was huge in the 90s, but was already trending in the wrong direction by the time Sideways turned it into a punchline. Alicia and Lincoln Park wine manager Ben are here to open your eyes to the world of Merlot that you've been missing out for these past 17 years. Plus a listener Q&A about laying down wine for a newborn's 21st birthday.
Drink along at home with the following wines:
Bogle Merlot 2018 L'ecole No. 41 Merlot Columbia Valley 2016 Duckhorn Merlot Napa 2017 Nickel & Nickel Merlot Bear Flat Oak Knoll 2017 Mondot Saint Emilion 2016
