Rhyming with Heritage, Red Meritage is an American blend of two or more of the red “noble” Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and the rarer St. Macaire, Gros Verdot and Carmenère.

In general, a fish can keep up to two weeks from the day it’s caught if properly refrigerated below 38 degrees for the entire time. Here at Holiday Market, we never keep fish that long. We sell a lot of fish, and get several deliveries 6 days a week, we guarantee our fish and seafood for 3 days (including the day of purchase). We go over our stock daily to make sure we have the freshest fish possible and discard any fish that we think won’t last 3 days. So if you buy a fish Monday morning it will be guaranteed fresh until Wednesday evening.
