Wow, a question I can answer! [img]http://38.118.142.245/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Merlot, shiraz, chardonnay etc. are the grape varieties used to make the wine with. You'll also find wines made with blends of one or more grape variety (Cabernet sauvingon/merlot) for instance.

As for the more specific question, I'll let one of the moderators field that one. Y'know, one of the guys who REALLY know about wine. [img]http://38.118.142.245/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

And welcome to the board!
