White wines tend to evoke feelings of refreshment and relaxation. Sure, popular white wine varieties like Pinot Grigio , Sauvignon Blanc , and Chardonnay tend to be zippy and light, which makes them ideal for balancing the saline-kissed sweetness of fresh seafood. But a healthy chunk of white wine’s magic is its vibe. Despite the rich, complex characteristics white wines express in aroma and on the palate, they’re often not perceived as austere or serious as red wines.

But despite the on-screen hate, Merlot is still a star in our eyes. It’s a central component in prestigious wines of Bordeaux, particularly in bottles from the Right Bank. At the same time, Merlot can be one of the most approachable and easy-to-love wines, with its fruit-forward characteristics and plush mouthfeel.
