Hello!
I've been reading up at Dandyism.net, and very much enjoyed the article one Mister Mattis had written on wines. Inspired, I bought a bottle of Coppola Vineyards Claret, which he recommends - but when I got it home and read the label more carefully, I noticed that, in small print beneath "Claret," it was labeled "cabernet sauvignon."
I'm baffled - what's the connection between the two? Is cabernet sauvignon being sold as claret?
I'm wine-ignorant, obviously.
Thanks for your help!
