Bogle Petite Sirah 2007
Last night, I whipped up a nice pot of spaghetti and meatballs, with a side dish of sauteed red swiss chard. Therefore, I needed a nice red wine. I only had one, so I went with the Bogle Petite Sirah, 2007. I am a HUGE fan of syrahs (of the Australian and New Zealander variety) and generally also a fan of sirahs (as we Americans spell it). I have no clue why some are called "petite" but, being petite myself, who am I to judge? Apparently, petite sirahs come from the durif grape and should not be used interchangeably with unpetite sirahs/syrahs. Get it together, would you? Whatever the heck this stuff is, it is good. Good, I tell you. It has intense big robust hearty flavor. This is the kind of wine worth ramming your nose in the glass for a sniff, even if it makes you look like a snooty snob.
Retails $10-$12. I scored it for $7.99.

it's ok to look like a snooty snob when you've got such a robust wine to sniff! and well done on the price! :)
