Ever since I started working at Discovery Wines, taking over the organization of the warehouse, filling orders and organizing our stock, there have been some wines back in the cold dark depths of our warehouse that are just kind of lurking, just sitting there that never seem to get ordered. Two of them in particular were the exact wines that Gary V. was talking about in a recent segment of the Daily Grape. Christian did a tasting for us at DW recently on the Saint Joseph (2004 and 2006 vintage) and I asked his opinion on why they do not sell. Basically he thinks Syrah doesn't get enough attention in the Bermuda market, for some reason it is not sexy here. Too bad, I really liked it. Maybe its time to bring a little sexy back to Syrah here in Bermuda. Take a look at Gary V.'s video blog and let me know what you think.

Remember for anyone who has the right answers to the questions about the video blog, Discovery Wines is handing out free schwag!
Take a look at the link and I've got a few questions at the bottom.
1. The J.L.Chave is 100% what grape?
2. What are the two white grapes producers can use in Saint Joseph?
3. The Alain Graillot smelled like what piece of meat you would find at a BBQ?
4. The Crozes Hermitage reminded Gary of what dish that his Grandma makes?
5. True or false: Gary thinks the Northern Rhรดne needs more attention?
