Take your pick among a wide selection of Merlot wines

October is Merlot Season
Merlot is one of the true noble grapes, capable of reaching greatness in many regions worldwide. October has become our opportunity to celebrate this recently overlooked grape. So let’s do it, October is #MerlotMe month! In October, our Wine Pairing Weekend Group will be celebrating Merlot at the dinner table, paired with a wide variety of foods. We hope you’ll enjoy and join us.

Partial to California? We’ve got you covered.

Thanks to the generous help of the #MerlotMe producers, many in our Wine Pairing Weekend group received samples to match with their pairings. Join us this weekend as we blog, tweet and chat about the wonders of Merlot! Our blog posts will go live on Friday and Saturday, October 12-13. We’ll host an hour long chat on Twitter on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 11am EDT, 8am PST.  Come and join us at the #MerlotMe and #WinePW hashtags on Twitter. We love visitors. We even love hecklers, join us!
