The Wine Slob: Glass Mountain Syrah

Que Syrah Syrah! Sorry could not resist that.

I also could not resist buying a bottle of this wine under $7.00. It's hard to find a nice syrah in this price range, but here one is. Not bad for a cheap wine and it went well with my bbq ribs.

It has a medium body with rich fruit and a smooth easy to drink style. This is an incredible value for the price.

I also found out that Glass Mountain is a division of Markham wines. Markham wines normally sell for well over my wine slob price point.

Glass Mountain wines focus on rich, pure flavors of California’s best vineyards. Offered as a tremendous value wine for consumers, Glass Mountain represents a vision to provide quality wines at accessible prices, while delivering an outstanding value wine for your enjoyment.

The Wine Slob

My profession is buying wine and developing wine lists for the restaurants I work for. This would surely make me a wine snob and yes I can hold my own with the vendors and vintners I work with.

However just the opposite is true. I am a wine slob. I find more joy in finding that inexpensive bottle of wine that is just enjoyable to drink without all the pretentious bull shit.

I will share with you my finds as I explore the shelves for that tasty wine that sells for under $10 a bottle. (on occasion I will spring for one up to $15)

So twist that cap off, pull that cork or open up that box and lets start enjoying affordable wines.

P.S. Enjoy the occasional joke and photo's that I will share also.
