What's the deal with Merlot?

Last night Renee and I watched ‘Sideways’. As I sure it does with most people, it made us want to drink wine. But not Merlot. No, the vile detest that Paul Giamatti’s character, Miles, has when discussing Merlot makes you think it’s the worst wine ever!

Now I’m sure that is 100% not the case. Renee and I have tried a few Merlot’s (most notably Yellow Tail). However, each time I find them too dry and/or harsh for my palate.

Are there any Merlot’s out there for the newbies that is: tasty yet inexpensive (under $20 a bottle), readily available in wine stores in southern New Jersey and is rather sweet?
