Gotta Have It!

Stop what you are doing immediately and run (or drive, but very fast) to your local wine shop and buy a bottle of this Merlot! Go! Now! Why are you still here? Ok, fine, you can go after you finish reading. Let me see how I can put this — this is a fantastic Merlot. From the first sniff I knew I’d found something special. It’s subtle, complex, rich, the kind of wine that makes you stop and say, “wow, that’s good!” And at about $10 a bottle, it’s an absolute steal. So now go, hurry up and buy a bottle or two or ten.
