Re: Sean Thackrey wines
Yeah, I only occasionally venture into the french side. Not that I dislike the flavors, but it is just all so complex. But to be fair, the US (esp California) is getting more complex by the day.
In any case, I'm a bit of a Petite Sirah nerd. Six or so years ago, I hit upon a winery in a weird part of norcal called Guenoc that was (is?) a big proponent of Petite Sirah, and that is what got me started. I've slacked off the past couple of years in the PETS category, but have tried about a dozen different producers more recently. Two good ones out of that batch: '06 Stags Leap Petite Sirah: Its kinda expensive (~$35) but quite good. Not a fruit bomb, but good strong concentration all the way through nose, body, and finish. '04 Mettler Petite Sirah: Just stumbled on these guys by accident, and loved it, especially for the price! Got a nice '04 for like twelve bucks. Tons of berry flavor.
