I have to agree on loving the French wines. Some of my favorites are meritage blends that have a minimum of 5 varietals. There is just something about the complexity and smoothness of the wine once several different varietals are introduced intp the meritage blend.

Meritage is actually a made up California word, they combined Merit & Heritage - so the word sounds like Heritage with an M. Just in case anyone out there is trying to make it a French sounding word like Hermitage (which, by the by, stink - anti-french lover coming out - definitely cool story about how they can only grow in a certain region on the sides of hills/mountains and have to be hand picked though).
I never tell that to people without sounding like an asshole, so WakeGal, I completely apologize and feel free to neg rep as much as you would like. And much like Skins, I never get to talk about my wine knowledge without sound like a stuck up ass or a tool. Again, please feel free to rip me in reps and with the tags.
