Buy Bordeaux wine here. In Bordeaux, almost all wines are blended. Only a few producers make single-variety wines, though the lack of varietal names on labels masks the fact. The typical blend consists of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (and/or Cabernet Franc), with small additions of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Merlot is favored on the right bank of the Garonne River, and Cabernet Sauvignon on the left, though Merlot acreage has been increasing on the left bank over the last decade or two.

There are two reasons for drinking wine...when you are thirsty, to cure it; the other, when you are not thirsty, to prevent it... prevention is better than cure.
