Yes, I'm drinking wine at 12:30 PM on a Thursday

No, I'm not at work right now

Yes, I'd do it again given the opportunity

No, I would not drink this wine again

Big fruity flavors up front, and....not much after that. I think the $7 pizza I bought at Whole Foods while buying this wine will be money better spent than this $7 bottle of wine.

For better Syrah's, checkout this wine search tool I've been working on.

Also, anyone know why a wine bottled in Washington State is labeled as 'Shiraz' ? Isn't that just for wines bottles in Australia?

Comment by Gabe Holmes on May 8, 2008 at 6:05pm: Given this wine sucks, we need to hit the Opollo Sangiovese pronto. Oh wait - we are already hiting it. And yes - the Celtics are beating up on the Cavs.
