Merlot or Cabernet?

[benz]

Which and why?

What brand, year?   




DIV

Casillero del Diablo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile, Any year
Don Melchor, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chile, Any year

First one is not expensive (like us$10 @ supermarket) and it's really a great wine, i dont know why is it so cheap when it could be easily sold at us$50, it's great while you are doing a real bbq

Second one is really really great, expensive though (us$100+) but oh damn, its one of those wines you will never forget. I think this one can be found in USA and EUROPE.

We have many in Chile, i'll recommend me you some more if you want, when i return to my country

Merlot all the way, semi dry, oaky and fruity.

Cab- dry like the desert

I don't think I've ever heard of that.

If it's really in a "jug" I don't know if I'd endorse it! 

But like I said, I haven't heard of it. 

Have you tasted it yet?

.......it's in a fresh jug.

Carlo Rossi Merlot (Reserve).

One of my clients is bringing me a preferred wine list on Friday.

She's a wine snob.

She said my Carlo is horrid.

I was reading about Silver Oak in some wine article out there..something about the 2001 cab being some baseball player's favorite wine...can't remember the player though

What does a "fresh" jug mean?  I did a search and saw a pic of it in the glass jug.  Don't drink it DIV          hahahaha!   Seriously though, I don't think I'd drink it if I were you 


Post her wine list here and if we've heard of any of them we can make suggestions

I've been drinking Carlo Rossi Merlot for years, baby Stella.........years!   

It's pretty dry, so maybe it's my taste that needs work?   

It's a huge jug!

Anybody interested in learning more about Merlots or Cabernets, or any of the different varieties of wines and spirits can get an interactive Product knowledge CD / DVD from the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario).

It's really quite informative, covering beers, wines, spirits, champagne... everything from A-Z.
It started off as an industrial tool to train and educate the LCBO employees, but it turned out so well,
they decided to market it in the stores... and the girl who does the voice-overs on it is a real sweety  

If you're in Ontario, and don't see the 3 part CD series in your local LCBO, ask for it by name.

Cheers,
