Episode 7 - Petite Sirah

But it reminded me that I think in the wine industry, there are certain varietals and regions that... we all kind of tend to hate on a little bit.

And so let me ask you gentlemen, what do you think are maybe some varietals that don't get enough love and respect from other people in the industry?

Hmm.

Yeah, it's interesting.

There are some that don't get love and respect, or maybe as much time in the spotlight as they deserve.

And then there's some that just get unfair hate.

I would say Zen.

Yeah, I agree.

For sure.

Yeah.

There's almost a slightly paradoxical... hate for Riesling because it's one of those things where you, you kind of start your wine drinking career on off dry Riesling for a lot of people.

And you're like, Oh wow, this is, this is actually really good.

This is a really tasty, approachable wine.

And then you start to learn a little bit about wine and you start to get a little, you know, a little, all right, yeah, Riesling actually, yeah, you know, I wouldn't wipe my floor with an off-dry Riesling.

But then you become a wine aficionado or you invest the amount of time and then you come back to it and you start to grow an appreciation for especially old aged Rieslings.

Yeah.

globally a lot of hate for molar turgal yeah yeah hey

but a leapfrog milk you know that was pretty successful yeah exactly yeah because that's the thing like a lot of

people especially hate zinfandel because it's a white zen it's gross it's like but it sold It sold very well.

People made money off of

that.

And it had an impact on the industry.

Yeah.

And that's more than some people can say today with making money off of wine.

Oh, that's for sure.
