Merlot

Another of my favorite 8 x5 cards is.

To me it was true love, to her it was Meerlust.

Meerlust is one of the historic and top quality wineries of South Africa. They make a tremendous Bordeaux blend, called Rubicon, sorry California, this is better, but we are sold out of it now. They also make a wonderful Merlot, called, Merlot. Plums and minerals and hints of chocolate in a smooth red wine, that gets better with age. Age like 10 + years. Hard to believe in a Merlot. But this is the real deal. I love to serve this with a dish that has lots of herbs and spices in it. Beef, lamb, veal, all work terrificly. This is $24.99 a bottle, tastes 3 times the price.

Some people lust after it too.
