Merlot, Private Investigator: A Comic Guide to Wine

By Ilana Gamza

The language of wine can be a mysterious thing. People speak of a wine's character, its terroir, its viticulture. For the novice, these can be intimidating concepts that might make full enjoyment of the world and flavors of wine seem more difficult than it actually is. That is why we have created this wine comic book where the wines become people. It is our goal to bring the wines alive and make them actors in a play. A play that will bring out their character and make them relatable to anyone. From solid Merlot and sophisticated Chardonnay to Charming Cabernet Sauvignon and romantic Pinot Noir, we hope to take you on a tour of the personalities that make each sip a unique experience while telling you a tale of intrigue set in landscapes of luxury and pleasure. It is our hope that by the end of our story, you will have found reasons to root for each of the players and a place for them at your table. But more than that, we hope that our story makes you more at home with wine and breaks down any walls between you and this rich universe of flavors, scents, and textures. So, enjoy our narrative and then enjoy some wine.
