October is #MerlotMe month! Throughout California, Merlot producers are celebrating with special events and tastings that focus on the planet’s third most widely planted grape variety.

Join Director of Winemaking Steve Peck, and Director of Hospitality/Direct to Consumer Sales Jessica Kollhoff on Instagram Live @JLohrWines on October 14 at 4:00 PM PT. The duo will take a deep dive into the history and unique characteristics of our Paso Robles-grown Merlots.

As part of the month-long celebration, we’ve assembled a collection of our three exceptional Paso Robles-grown, Merlot-based releases into a special tasting pack available for purchase here.

Note: For the best experience, we encourage viewers to tune in with their mobile device (phone or tablet). A desktop computer can also be used as an alternative viewing platform.

Have you had magical Merlot, the kind with a haunting whiff of violets, kaleidoscopic complexity, and more velvet than Mae West’s bedroom?

Mark Oldman's "Magicians of Merlot" virtual class on October 14th, will be a masterclass on fine Merlot and joined by three Napa-based magicians of the grape: Duckhorn Vineyard’s Vice President GM Neil Bernardi, Markham Winemaker Kimberlee Nicholls, and Rutherford Hill Winemaker Marisa Taylor.

Bring your own Merlot, or taste along with the exact wines that Mark and the winemakers will be drinking and discussing.
