Celebrating the Petite Sirah
Filed under: Wine
So often wine lovers fall in love with a grape. Like Miles with his beloved Pinot Noir in Sideways the people behind P.S. I Love You are devoted to Petite Sirah. The Petite Sirah noble varietal is often confused with the standard Syrah but it is a separate varietal with its own flavor. It is the same as the French variety Durif and takes half of its DNA from the Syrah varietal according to information on the P.S. I Love You website. Why does Petite Sirah need the love (and advocacy)? Often this tasty grape is overlooked and the word Petite can sometimes lead people to think that the varietal is a less version of Syrah but it actually has a rich and ripe flavor. The website includes Petite Sirah resources as well as a list of events and a referral to wineries making award-winning Petite Sirah (I'm a fan of the Concannon Vineyards Reserve Petite Sirah myself).
