If you insist upon merlot, try pairing it with Fontina. You need a slightly stronger cheese that can stand up to the smoky, spicy nature of merlot. Even cheddar would be a good pairing.

I myself like the cheese that you spread on crackers with that little red stick. It goes good with every wine, as well as various soft drinks, such as Tab.

2000 was a good year for California whites. Try Beringer Nightingale 2000, Napa Valley ($40, 375 ml) with the bacon-flavored pasturized process cheese food. Throw the crackers out, you won't need them.



k I have to work today. no more cellar posting.
