Hi Everyone. It has been an incredibly crazy last couple of weeks. I hope everyone is staying healthy. We’ll make it through, but for the love of Pinot, you don’t have to buy a pallet of toilet paper or hand sanitizer or masks. Just be smart. I thought I was smart when I bought the #1 Merlot, the best value for the price, as per Total Wines. The 2017 Radius Merlot was highlighted as the “epitome of smoothness”. I did taste hints of cherry and vanilla as they’d advertised, but a bit too much so. It started off a bit too sweet for my taste. I wasn’t a huge fan of this wine and wouldn’t have rated it a #1 Merlot. Once it had a chance to breathe, it was a bit smoother, but not to the level it advertised. You can find it at Total Wines for $11.99. Let me tell you about something else that’s less than smoothe…two brothers in Tennessee bought up thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer and anti-bacterial wipes and began selling them anywhere from $8 to $70 per bottle on Amazon and eBay. Both of those sites no longer allow those guys to sell on their sites so those fools are stuck with pallets of the stuff. You two are officially the #1 and #2 smoothe operators in Tennessee…and the United States for that matter.
