Merlot versus Cabernet Sauvignon?

[Nguigmi]

In case you want to get more aquainted with merlots and cabs, the wine cave in Madison is having a Bordeaux wine tasting this weekend. You should be able to find their website if you do a search for barriques wine cave.

I've been going to their tastings for the past two weeks (Loire and Rhone valleys) -- it's very educational and very reasonably priced. You get to taste 7-8 wines for $12...I think it's going to be more expensive for the Bordeaux tasting though.
