But this Gundlach Bundschu video personifying Merlot is worth seeing. It captures the evolution of Merlot from big bro Cabernet Sauvignon's girl-magnet wingman ... spoiler alert! Sorry. Anyway, pay attention to the small parts played by Cab Franc and Malbec, which are spot on and hilarious, particularly at the end. You go, Merlot!
Gundlach Bundschu, California's second-oldest winery, celebrated its 154th anniversary yesterday. It's still family-owned by the Bundschus (there hasn't been a key Gundlach since founder Jacob Gundlach died in 1894) and clearly they're still having fun. Best wishes for the next 154.

Thank you so much Blake, I'm glad you liked it and appreciate the share.
Can someone please tell me what winery this video is promoting ? I couldn't tell.
Can someone please tell me who left that comment? I can't tell.
Hysterical and very well done.
Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful fun piece, thanks for posting. I may actually have to look for GB merlot.
Funny!! Loved it.
Loved it and thank you, Blake!
Nice to see folks being creative about the varietals they love. Good on GB. I've loved Merlot ever since I discovered Howell Mountain (Lemon-Chabot Ranch...wow!) I'm ready for this comeback!
Total brilliance. Perfectly captured. But where is the forgotten brother, Carmenere?
