WBW #30 WOUND-UP!
Tim over at WineCast got the WBW 30, Wound-Up done a few days ago. What with all his flood problems and all..
“I’m pleased to report that this theme was the most popular so far with a total of 50 entries covering 70 wines. Some were simple Aussie Shiraz you can find in the supermarket for under $10 USD right up to some cult wines that sell for about $80 a bottle. The more established New World homes for the grape were well represented with 27 Shiraz from Australia and 25 Syrah from California. But we also had entries from South Africa, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Washington State and Canada’s province of British Columbia. Clearly Syrah and Shriaz have traveled far from the Old World and it’s interesting to see the stylistic differences in the notes posted this month,” he stated, February 12th, 2007.
What Tim had to say about the Avenue Vine Syrah / Shiraszzzzzs: “Dave at Avenue Vine was next with three reviews of California Syrah from Rosenblum Cellars, Hess Collection Winery and R.H. Phillips Vineyard. The Rosenblum sounds like the winner here. Thanks, Dave!”
