Ladies and Gentlemen, raise your glasses in a toast to International Merlot Day. The wine glass is filled with Merlot, isn’t it!? We hope so and you are drinking one of the world’s most popular dry, Red Wines.
Merlot is considered a noble Grape. Did you know the word Merlot comes from the French word “Merlau” or “Merle” meaning “Blackbird”. Merlot grapes are grown in many parts of the world but, nowhere is it more popular than in the Bordeaux Region of France. We all know the French know a good Wine when they taste it. Merlot Grapes are the most popular Grape in French Vineyards, comprising over 60% of the Vines in all of the Vineyards in the Country.
Without a doubt, you know what to do on International Merlot Da open up a bottle of Merlot, and enjoy a glass or two with a friend or two and don’t forget to invite your family to have a glass as well. Don’t forget the Cheese and Crackers.
There is a White Merlot and any Rosé Wine that is made from Red Merlot Grapes is called White Merlot.
