Sunday Wine School - MERLOT...make it great again
February 22 2026 | 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM24 Harrison St, New York, NY 10013
Merlot is truly one of the great red grapes on planet wine.
In terms of overall plantings, it is only second to Cabernet Sauvignon.
And it is the perfect dance partner to Cabernet Sauvignon (think Bordeaux blends).
But there remains a perception…big thanks to Miles Raymond in Sideways…
that it is lesser than other great grapes.
Oh, oh, People of America, we do know better than that
and today the Merlot Revival begins in the TERROIR wine tent.
The specifics of the event:
-it will be a seated gathering, at communal tables
-6 wines will be enjoyed during the class + a welcome wine
-there will be a snack, because we want your bellies to be happy
-there will be instruction and conversation...this is a class after all...
lasting roughly 60 minutes...
-Joe will be your teacher
-there will not be a test at the finish of the class
We very much look forward to celebrating
the MERLOT grape with you.
