Done this. Totally false. A merlot in a cab bottle tastes like a cab and everyone who likes cab says how much they like that wine.


False? People liking cabernet sauvignon does not imply that they cannot like a merlot in a cabernet sauvignon bottle.


Our experiences are different. You seem caught up with categorization.

I'm fairly confident I couldn't tell a merlot from a cabernet, blind, from a glass. But that doesn't mean one wine doesn't taste nicer than another, or goes better with a particular dish. And that's what I was alluding to.


I know a couple who weren't wrapped in either of their surnames, so when they got married, they changed it to something they both liked - Merlot. It works well as a surname, methinks.
