Hi, my name is, my name is, my name is... Durif?


This might be more trivia than knowledge but I occasionally like to read Wikipedia articles and try to learn something. As I will often hint at, I have a passion for the Petite Sirah grape (please, please don't confuse that with the Syrah, an ugly relative with really no relation - the bucked tooth cousin or something) and it is helpful to know what that means. "Durif" is it's real name and the extremely short article even mentions the ATF! Unfortunately I haven't had any luck finding anything cheap that is very good in our low ranges - you can trust a $30 Petite Sirah but good luck with anything under $12. Bogle may be a sometimes exception. It's one that I liked the first time and didn't like so much the third time.

Don't worry though, I promise that we'll spend too much time on this grape...
