- katbret - 04-05-2001 While dining in a fabulous B&B last month in a small town just south of Macon, GA. I sampled 2 fine Merlots- a Shafer & a Sterling. We were dining with a large party & the waiter suggested we try a Cab that was bodied similar to that of a Merlot. (I do not remember the name - I was not that impressed with the flavor.)Someone else commented that they could tell it was a CAB by the way the wine "tiered" - "teared" sp? I did not wish to show my ignorance & simply agreed with a nod & sipped the new vino silently. PLEASE HELP- WHAT was he describing - how can you immediately tell a Merlot from a Cabernet- simply by looking? I would think flavor & smell would HAVE to factor in as well?! Thanks- KATSY - Innkeeper - 04-05-2001 Hi Katsy, and welcome to the Wine Board. Our resident expert accidentally answered your question below. He is right on as mostly usual. - mrdutton - 04-05-2001 IK, below? Below what? There ain't nothing below your post other than this one asking the question! - mrdutton - 04-05-2001 Well it was above, IK, by the time I logged onto the system............... But I found it anyway. THANKS. - Innkeeper - 04-06-2001 What is below becomes above when someone after makes it so. - cpurvis - 04-06-2001 IK, those kinda' words 'll leave WW's head spinnin' fer the rest of his StupidSabbatical [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] cp - winoweenie - 04-06-2001 I've been told to go below from above many of the times I've been outside but not cold. I really think about thinking above the bottom most of the werewithall that has been outlined. WW - mrdutton - 04-06-2001 Now I'm tearing. - Drew - 04-06-2001 Tearing hell......I'm crying!
