Pinot Noir vs Merlot

You are welcome, Vivace. Sounds to me like
a legitimate question. For further research you might look at some basic wine information books such as "Wine for Dummies" or Andrea Immer's "Great Wines Made Simple."
One of the best and most entertaining forms of research is to sample as many types of wine as you can being observant and taking notes if possible.
