I love petite sirah. I first discovered the grape several years ago on a trip to Napa. It can sometimes be overblown, but it really has great potential. I’ve wanted to go to this tasting, put on by the Petite Sirah advocacy organization PS I love you, for some years but haven’t had the chance. If you are at all into big, tannic, and extracted wines, but wines that can also be rustic and brambly, Petite Sirah could be for you. So, whether you are new to the grape or already a convert I recommend entering this contest to get a chance to attend the tasting in Alameda (just outside Oakland). Oh, and this tasting is supposed to have some of the best food around for a wine tasting, with some top notch gourmet food purveyors and restaurants in attendance.
