Does anyone have a commercial recommendation that I can try before either buy a kit. Im not sure I've had it before. I usually drink cabernet or merlot

If you can find a Turley Petite Syrah Napa Valley or Turley Petite Syrah Estate, they are very good examples of really nice ones at a very affordable price (release price is $28 and $40, respectively). Here's a link to one you can order for $35: Where to buy Turley Wine Cellars Turley Estate Petite Sirah, Napa Valley | prices & local stores in LA, USA

When searching, the correct spelling is "petite sirah", and "durif" is an alternate name.

You'll also find it incorrectly listed as "petit sirah" and "petit syrah".

You can get the Daou Pessimist red blend from Paso Robles. $20 at total wine. While it’s a blend, and the blend changes slightly depending on the vintage, it’s always dominant petite sirah (70-80%). In my opinion it’s a very good example of Petite Sirah from a good AVA without the large price tag.

Bogle Petit Syrah is a good everyday drinker in my opinion, and widely available.

Michael David Winery makes a blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot, which is called "Petite Petit." This is from Lodi, CA, and is widely available for ~$18. I will say upfront that I have never had it, but it purports to be a big, bold wine. Their description goes "It is a substantial, dense, full-bodied, whopper style of wine loaded with pure black fruit and vanilla flavors that coat the palate."

Oh you really should pick up a bottle of it at Costco. Around MO it's $11-13, and is one of the wines we almost always have a bottle or four around here.

Stags' Leap Petite Syrah
Really expensive in Canada. Among the 5 best wines I have ever had. Definitely turns your tongue purple!

I saw this today. I ended up buying the Bogle. I also bought a sangiovese and zinfandel. Never had either.

Sooo… could a person write off their wine purchases as an education expense??? Asking for a friend.

You can write off anything you want!

Whether you'll survive a tax audit is a totally different question .....

If prison has computers you'll be able to post here, but the wine you make won't be as good.

IDK, from what I’ve learned here I think I could make some darn good prison hooch! Just need to figure out how to smuggle a carboy into club fed!

You, my friend, are on your way to an education. Broaden that wine palate!
