WineRelease.com's February 15, 2024 Monthly Newsletter.
This month we had 225 winery updates and 164 wineries releasing wine.
Apologies for the delay; I was in the US and staying abreast of the releases. However, I felt a bit overwhelmed and decided to hold off on publishing until I had completed all the 225 updates which is more than double February norms (granted there are 11 more days included in this late issue).
In February, our wine enthusiast group gathered, and my friend Matt organized an exceptional event at Ungrafted in San Francisco with Chris, one of the owners, taking care of all the wines and giving us short descriptions/histories of each.
The theme was "Wines that prominently showcase Merlot from around the world." The venue, food, and theme were all outstanding.
We indulged in 16 bottles of Merlot spanning 20 years of vintages, each displaying the varietal's diversity.
This experience debunked the old Miles Raymond mantra from the movie Sideways: "No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any f#$&! @* Merlot!"
It's time to reconsider Merlot because these wines surpassed everyone's expectations.
And now, onto the wine releases...
