Looking for Merlove In All the Wrong the Places
filed under: Events

Merlot lovers, rejoice! A new documentary film made in response to the post-Sideways Merlot backlash (read more on that here) is about to debut. That's right, Merlove, made by Napa filmmaker Rudy McClain, is set to screen Tuesday, May 27th at COPIA in Napa. The film apparently includes footage of renowned Merlot makers from...

California, Washington and Bordeaux (I hear Jean-Claude Berrouet of Chateau Petrus even took part!), although I've got to say I'm a little skeptical that this grape - great though it can be - has really got the stuffing to carry an entire film. Decide for yourself at the COPIA screening, which starts at 8pm and will kick off with complimentary tastes of - what else? - Merlot beginning at 7:15.
