qotd I like the movie, but stuff like that never has an effect on what I want to try. I'm not a big merlot drinker because there are so many other varietals out there to try and I wanna try everyone. Plus when you hang out with fellow wino's or go to tastings etc. you end up getting to try a lot of merlot's anyway by default.

I wasn’t drinking wine when I first saw Sideways. When I did start, I definitely went towards the pinot automatically to see what was what.

Bummer about the Souverain. Such a nice label.

QOTD: I wasn’t a huge merlot drinker before Sideways, and the movie didn’t affect my palate much. All the movie did was raise the price of pinot noir, which was sad.

Good episode. Even though it was only 2 for 4, its nice to see (obviously) that Hollywood got it wrong. I do so enjoy the flavors a $10 or so bottle of merlot brings to a sauce. I admit to pouring in glasses of it when I make spaghetti sauce. Always better the second night, too. QOTD: Id never buy Hollywood trying to sell me something like that. Its all about my taste buds.

I forgot to answer the question of the day. I havenâ€™t been a continuous wine guy. I liked Pinot Noir in the mid-â€˜80s. I remember enjoying 1982 Rodney Strong Pinot. I remember the price being comparable to the Cabs I was buying then. I bought the 2006 RS Pinot and found the price was a lot higher than the Cabs Iâ€™m buying. Are you telling me this is because of a movie? I had my first Merlot ever just this year. You kind of act like everybody has seen this movie. It seems unlikely to me. I never even heard of it except for watching WLTV.
