My Merlot

Yesterday I planted my first Merlot vine!! This is a new venture for me and I am fairly excited! Now I'm not expecting to be bottling anything, it is just for my personal joy if any grapes happen to grow. (Hey, it doesn't take much for me to get a thrill!!)

Tomorrow night is "Chocolate Decadence" and I am wondering what wine they will be serving. Chocolate can be one of the quickest ways to kill off a good wine. It is going to need to be a very sweet & powerful wine to cut through the sweetness and the mouth-coating effect of the chocolate. A Muscat or an aged tawny port would work well. We shall see!

Now, get your glasses ready for some Merlot!!
Cheers!
