Well, then, I will have to give it a try if Turnbull recommends it. TB, you are a man of excellent taste, so I'll give it a shot. My husband and I were served the merlot as part of the wine dinner at Cite (mine and Plaw's favorite NYC spot, by the way, although we've never actually eaten there together) and we were very disappointed. It actually had a nasty aftertaste, so we never bought any on our own. I will give the label another try.

Edited to add: And of course because JG recommends it, too!!
