i'm not a big fan of most of his stuff, unfortunately. overwrought and flabby. the transformers movie series in wine form. but petit petite has some good character.

I love the Dante Merlot! Haven't tried the cab, but these are part of the Michael Pozzan family of wines, and I've really liked almost all of their stuff.
Boy am I glad I found this thread! The grouchy old man wants to start an argument tonight. Where better way to do it than on this thread. Wine people LOVE to argue.
IMNHO, (not humble in this case), the Walla Walla valley in Washington's Columbia River region will be known as producing the finest syrah in the world within 10 years. To many wine lovers, including this one, it already does. There is something special about syrah grapes grown in this little valley. The wines are nothing like the burly Shiraz imposed on the world by the Aussies, or the weak-ass'ed stuff from the lower Rhone valley. These wines change in the glass as you drink them.
My favorite Walla Walla syrah changes with every bottle. Right now I really like Amavi's 2016, though I'm trying to leave some laying down for another five years. Not easy. I'm diligently trying to work my way through all the syrahs made in the valley, but my liver may not make it. Any transplant donors out there?
Glad I found this thread. I enjoy red wine with the wife and family over dinners. Cabernet Sauvignon is the go to choice, and I have been building a decent little collection.
Tonight we tried the Trader Joe’s - Velvet Moon.
At sub $10, didn’t have high expectations.
While it certainly wasn’t of the caliber of say, a personal favorite, Prisoner; this was still a good wine over dinner. Bold with fruit flavors but not sweet. I’d drink it again.
Don't give up on the French Syrahs from the Rhone Valley; they will be way different than new world SyrahsBoy am I glad I found this thread! The grouchy old man wants to start an argument tonight. Where better way to do it than on this thread. Wine people LOVE to argue.

We've been buying 3 Freakshow Cab's @ $16.99 and 3 Josh Cab's @ $10.99 (10% off that when buying 6 bottles) at our local grocery store. That's pretty good every day wine drinking in our book!
Nice. I have had a few wines from that region but have never focused on the Syrahs. I will pick some up this week to see if our palates align. Cheera!Boy am I glad I found this thread!

If you haveI think you have Total Wine in Texas. I found an impressive Washington producer there recently. Crossfork Creek. we had their merlot last week and I was pretty impressed for $20. we have the cab to try next.
I love that it is called Bushwood!View attachment 8951640Probably cheap garbage, but I’m enjoying it
Don't make the mistake I made, keep that mercury head nickel on the bottle. Apparently it is real.A few we have been working on. The better half has a better wine palate than I.
