    Hey Butthead(GV) Merlot sales are down because we are drinking and trying different wines- I would imagine sales of wines from different areas are up and different variatels besides Pinot are up as well-

    Some Merlot jam would be a great time to rub all over my girlfriend’s nice bum and then spank it. I think Merlot deserves to drink all over the place, when good. How can decanting make Merlot lovely when it’s great.
