Garage wines are a new movement in French wines. They involve very small production amounts, usually from the right bank area. The winemaker takes exquisite care in every step of the process, with almost no consideration for the cost involved. They are usually made with predominently Merlot in the blend, and are aged in new Oak barrels. These wines can be ordinary or exceptional, and some of them, when backed by the right marketing, have attracted large followings. Because the supply is so small, they can command price even higher than top classified wines of Bordeaux. If you want to sound fancy, you can call the people who make these wines Garagistes, but make sure you bust out your best french accent to achieve maximum pretentious effect.
