Merlot makes the morning.
At least that’s our excuse for the box of Franzia on the nightstand.
But now there’s a sophisticated way to wake up with wine thanks to Merlot Infused Coffee from Uncommon Goods.John Jenkins of Orange, Virginia, takes 100% Arabica beans and ages them in oak wine barrels for java that has the same wood-laced notes of currants and blackberries—everything red wine lovers enjoy about a robust Merlot.
Except without any of the alcohol.
Because sometimes coffee’s all the buzz we need.
Merlot Infused Coffee, $19.95 (12 ounces)
