Merlot vs. zinfandel?!
Merlot vs. zinfandel?
which is the better wine?
Answers:
both mixed together...
I find zinfandel much more complex and interesting, esp. red zin compared to merlot.
I prefer Merlot. It's my favorite wine w/ beef.
Zin seems a bit spicier and trickier to pair w/ foods.
i love merlot... a good one can be complex with a bit of spice and deep and smooth. zinfandel with lots of depth and spice is also delicious, but i find merlot easier to drink if i don't want to 'think' about what i'm drinking.
You can't answer that question. Assuming you are talking about red wines, both have good and not so good wines. Buy any of the two for $2,99 at a liquor store and you could end up with a headache.
And even when comparing both wines with bottles of similar quality, it is a personal choice which one you prefer. Both wines also match with different dishes.
But if you ever come to my house and want to bring a bottle: I prefer Zinfandel :O)
The answer to your Question is zinfandel. But merlot is good for cooking if that is your thang.To wine and dine a women friend of yours white zin is the best.
Merlot is a more robust, sophisticated wine that one learns to appreciate over time.
For myself, Merlot is almost a state of mind where I feel more calm and relaxed with every sip. It also makes me more inclined to savior the moment; so it's ideal for special occasions.
Really simple explanation ;
If you really don't like red wine, drink Merlot
If you really love red wine , drink Zinfandel
Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are the ultimate. I would not drink any other wine.
Zinfandel girl here!
