Syrah, Sirah…No my day is not going to the dogs.
For this Wine Blogging Wednesday #40 on Petite Sirah hosted by Sonadora(the Wannabe Wino), I wanted to keep it fun and unpretentious.
Rather than picking a $20 to $30 bottle, I went with the Pets (2005) from Vinum Cellars.
Big on the berries with an earthy, spicy finish and decent tannins, it is a good, decent wine, neither flashy nor pretentious.
Bonus points:
-As a dog owner I cannot help but appreciate that a percentage of the profits goes to the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the San Francisco SPCA .
You should be able to find it for about $15.
What was Wine Blogging Wednesday #39 about: Not a single wine, rather a ‘Maison’ Jacques Depagneux for Wine
Thank you for participating. This was a popular WBW bottle! I also love that part of the purchase price goes for such a good cause.
