Some Merlot varieties are very good, but I prefer a dry Burgundy or Beaujolais. But that's moot today.
This evening I've got Alaskan King Crab, Salmon, and Tiger Prawns on the menu. YummY!
I'm actually on call, and working from home (double time pay) and won't be drinking anything but licorice tea with a bit of peppermint.
