"No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!" Bite your tongue, Giamatti. The right Merlot can make your day. However, I wouldn't classify this wine as "the right Merlot". Don't get me wrong, it was good...but it wasn't Merlot at its best. It was verrrry fruity, and pretty much sums up why some people get "sweet" and "fruity" mixed up. It's so fruity that it tastes sweet. Not run-to-the-dentist-my-teeth-are-falling-out-sweet, but you know. Good enough to drink by itself, and flavorful enough not to require food.
