were subtle but unmistakable. An online search on a retail wine site turned up nothing. In one wine store, the few bottles I found were shelved near the floor. In another, the wines were stacked under a sign that read “Cabernet.” Where did all the Merlot go?
Some drinkers date the fall of Merlot to the 2004 movie “Sideways,” whose main character cursed it . Others—more plausibly—blame its demise on poor winemaking or viticultural decisions by producers several decades ago. Planted in the wrong place and/or cheaply made, the oceans of Merlot that resulted failed to thrill. But Merlot never fully disappeared. And thanks to both longtime supporters and new natural-wine fans, it may even be poised for a comeback.
Still good Merlot being made in Napa 👍🏼

Same place as the adderall.
Sideways, 2005.
Now that I'm older I feel like that, 'Bring your own Merlot,' line was racist ...
We know exactly when and why. Do better WSJ.
Because it's been renamed to 'grape of color'. Merlot is racist.
Love you

Nobody likes Merlot, didn't you see that Napa Valley moive...geeez.

Blame the (mediocre) movie Sideways, which mocked Merlots.
