			My own blend of Russian Caravan tea this morning, to go with the rain we're getting. And hoping the roofer finishes his repairs before the rain gets serious.

			Ah, there are a lot of those. My experience of Merlot made in the US has been that they're frequently allowed to over-ripen, leading to a soft, flabby wine that has more alcohol than body. In fact, I'd quite gone off merlots, with a very few exceptions, before moving to British Columbia, where the shorter season makes Merlot a preferred red grape since it matures somewhat before Cabernet. (And way before Zinfandel, but that's a hopeless task up here until global warming turns us into California.) My real surprise was how very good Merlots can be here. They have body, they have structure, fruit without being a fruit bomb, and an all-round excellent drinking or food wine.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Another day of my Russian Caravan blend tea -- the fall rains are definitely here! Time to fire up the generator, make sure it's full, and everything is working. And get a the gas can topped up.  |
