“He who aspires to be a serious wine drinker, must drink Claret”
Samuel Johnson (1709 – 1784)

The English description “Claret” derives from the French word “Clairet,” used to distinguish the light style red Bordeaux wines of that period, from the more robust reds of Portugal and Spain. The name Claret is still widely used today and applies to all red Bordeaux wines, while Clairet now refers to the rosé style wines of the region.

Hi,

Claret is a blend, based on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape with a significant percentage of mountain Merlot added for richness and mid-body.
A small trace of Petit Verdot contributes brightness and complexity. The Claret is aged in French oak cooperage for 18 to 20 months before bottling. No fining or filtration is used in the production of these wines.

So as opposed to Bordeaux Claret is a blended wine and used to be popular in the Anglo-saxon countries.

You'll never see a Frenchman drink it,to them it is just a sign of bad taste.

Sante,

"Oh, well, ah, yes, well, ah, you and I both know that a Bordeax is a Claret, of course. Problem is most of the riffraff we get in here wouldn't."

Thanks to Basil Fawlty for that lesson in oenology.

I've just watched 'Dumb and Dumber' with Jim Carrey. I don't remember which time already, but I'm sure it is a classic.

Recently I liked:
-faithless
-bread and tulips

I can't stomach 99.998% of what Hollywood has put out in the past 30 years. It's all about popcorn and soda.

I'd have to confess to enjoying Repo Man a bit too much. Favorite part? One of 'em is..."(Lobotomies? Aren't those for lunatics?)...Not at all! A friend of mine had one once, he designed the neutron bomb. Ever heard of it? It destroys people, and leaves buildings standing. So small, it fits in a briefcase and no-one knows it's there. Then BLAMMO! Eyeballs melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. It's so immoral that working on it can be maddening. Anyway that's what happened to this friend of mine. Then he had a lobotomy, and now he's well again."
