Well whatta ya know ?

I was just reading the latest issue of Decanter that I just picked up (May 2005), and check this out, from page 15, a letter from a wine merchant in the UK:

"It's amusing that decanter.com's report about the film Sideways remarks that Miles' trophy bottle is Cheval Blanc 1961. Indeed, nobody bothered to tell him that there's no Pinot Noir in it, but surely they really important point is that it's made almost entirely of his two bete noir grapes, with 60% Cabernet Franc and 37% Merlot."

Looks like I'm finally catching on...makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Not quite as warm and fuzzy as a '61 Cheval Blanc would, but it'll suffice.
