How to Serve a White Merlot
The general rule of thumb when it comes to wines are that fish, poultry and seafood should have a white wine to accompany them, while red meat and pasta dishes favor red wines. White Merlot, a full-bodied, plum flavored wine, will break all of these rules. White Merlot wine, served at the right temperature, will make a fine accompaniment to any food you choose, making it a unique wine to serve with any meal. With its reasonable price tag, even in hard economic times, it can still be enjoyed by many.
