#WineWednesdayWisdom: Drink More Syrah/Shiraz

You want to know which grape we are not drinking enough of? [music] Sira or you might also know it [music] as Shiraz. Originally from southern France's Ron Valley, Sira is now planted all over the world. It's generally divided into two types of siras. cool climate which is tanic and savory. In our world for the most part if you don't drink French siras we get more of the warm climate siras which is fruity and jammy. The most common trade of sira is blueberries and pepperc corn. And then as it gets more complex you get smoked meat, milk chocolate. It's really a fascinating grape and we're not drinking enough of it. When did I get excited about Sira H? Two times that I remember. One time I drank a very old Kiron from Rome which was based Sira. And one time I was in Israel with Yasishar. So shout out to Yasar from 1848. He made a couple of years ago a fascinating Sira and he's continuing to do so every vintage. And it blew my mind. And I was like, why am I not drinking enough Shira? So, I'm speaking to myself. So, I urge you to go grab a bottle of Benamina Shiraz or any other Shiraz that you think you will like or you know the brand. Why? Because wine is not just to get drunk and get high. It's art and you want to learn what else is in there. So, that's why we do this. Because remember, the more we taste No more winner.
