What's wrong with Merlot?

To bring this full circle, what kind of grapes was the bottle of '61 Cheval Blanc made from that Miles drank in the diner from the styrofoam cup while he ate his cheeseburger and onion rings?

Don't have the exact figures for the '61, but the estate's vineyards are around 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot.

Several of our retailers have reported exploding interest in Pinot Noir and the central coast, but no one I've spoken with verifies claims that Merlot sales are sinking. In fact, we're seeing a reverse effect and perverse interest in Merlot in our tasting room. :raz:
