Petite Sirah is a fun grape to get to know. It’s unusual in many respects.  Learn a little from the Petite Sirah fan club & advocacy organization–psiloveyou.

Here’s three of my favorites:

• Michael & David 2005 Earthquake Petite Sirah.  I liked their 2002 so much I bought them as business gifts that year, along with their Incognito Viognier.  This wine is easy to find.  I believe that both World Market & BevMo carry it.  You can also have it shipped from their website.

• Fortress Vineyards 2007 Petite Sirah.  This was my first introduction to this winery.  I met mom, Barbara & daughter Kate & was delighted with their wine.  It’s a small family winery with vineyards in Lake County.  Purchase their wines from their website or look for it in restaurants & events.

• Jazz Cellars, 2006 Eagle Point Ranch Petite Sirah.  I’ve been following this two-man team for several years, and I was extremely impressed with this wine. (It’s an award winner too.) Their website is educational and lists places to meet them and their wines.
