Great wine guide, definitely some good points to think about. Soon I will step outside my comfortable Cabernet zone...:)

Thanks! I have nothing against Cabs, I have some very nice ones in my cage, but the Syrahs and Petite Sirahs never hang around for long. :)

Excellent article. I drink and enjoy both, thought Petite Sirah wins my heart, most of the time.

Glad that you liked it! I am the same way. I love them both, but those inky dark fruit bombs are irresistible.

Ah, sometimes I wonder if these hybrids should have been given entirely different names.

It's no wonder the consumers are confused and intimidated, and all the more reason we need you to educate us, thank you.

Better naming probably would have been a good idea. It is even more confusing because it is counter-intuitive for most people. They hear the Petite part and expect a lighter Syrah. Then they are surprised by how powerful Petite Sirah really is.
