On episode 12 we ended up tasting a bottle of Merlot that we weren't entirely pleased with, and thats ok! Not all wine is created equal and sometimes, bad bottles jut happen. That said, Bottled Up! is determined to make sure we give every grape its due and so on this Bonus Episode we will review another Merlot. This time returning to our buddy Charles Smith (of Charles Smith Kung Fu Girl Riesling) and tasting his The Velvet Devil Washington State Merlot. Did we succeed this time around? Listen and find out!
