  1. I read that Vini Caldirola is a wine producer in Italy.
    Do they have any cheap Merlots at my local grocery
    stores in Texas?

  2. Why don't you go check?

    Not just any wine, he specifically requested a merlot. It
    probably said that on the side of the last box he poured a
    glass from.

    I don't think they produce any Merlot. They are based
    on a zone that is different from the one where Merlot
    is produced.

    Don't know about produce, but they do include it in their
    product range: caldirola.itdefault.cfm

    You'll probably find some Merlot in almost any wine
    shop in Texas.

    The California vintners learned several years ago that it
    mixed well with the Cabernet grapes and the Merlot Noir has
    steadily gained popularity until it is sold now onder its
    own nomenclature.

    Grown extensively worldwide these days, its home was
    originally on the outskirts of the Bordeaux region (Saint
    Emilion) and I wouldn't think that it has much appeal for
    the Italian vintners although the Merlot Noir is grown in
    northeastern Italy where it sorta suffers from over growing.

    Nah, redneck wine culture is Strawberry Hill for the
    girlfriend while the guy's drinking Miller Golden Draft.

    Wrong again. Box wine's too much of a commitment, while
    Gallo Merlot is ~$3.79 a 750 ml bottle & gone in only two
    days. I drink cheap Merlot instead of cheap Cabernet because
    cheap Merlot is less acidic than cheap Cabernet. I will,
    however, pay two or three times that for a six pack of good
    India Pale Ale, which I love like a beautiful woman's
    breast. But wine's less fattening.

    Thanks, this is what I was after. I didn't know what their
    actual label names were. I see the Bianchi labels are green,
    but not quite celeste.

    Whatever......

    But interestingly, Davey, who hasn't been much of an imbiber
    the last 2 - 3 decades started swigging 150ml (4.5 fluid
    ounces Imperial) every night.

    He got checked out exhaustively last month, more in
    deference to his advancing years than to diagnose any
    particular malady, and it seems that his HDL, which the
    Canadians like their British Colonial mentors seem to
    measure in the mystic ``millimole'' units, is a tad low.

    His salt intake and other nutrients all being within
    acceptable limits, his diet being decidedly Spartan and his
    weight only 2 Kg more than it was 50 years ago, the Learned
    Doctor Hummed and Hahed until she finally decided that a
    small glass of red vino every night might do the trick and
    boost the critical HDL measure.

    So next time he replenishes his stock he'll investigate the
    price of Merlot and report back on its therapeutic
    qualities...

    zone that is different from the one where Merlot is
    produced.

    Is Caldirola actually a producer or is this a regional
    cooperative of wineries?

    They're a "group": caldirola.itcaldirola.it (note there's a
    switch for English on the page).
