Next shipment will be 2001. A cheaper (this is my normal table wine) shiraz cab blend is Boonaroo, which is a delicious deal at something like $7/bottle. But enough about wine....I hope that shiraz doesn't go the way of the dodo.

I've been in a wine rut forever. I always default to a some Mondavi cab or merlot (not the coastal shit). Its anywhere between 20-30, depending where you're buying (PA is a fucking rip off). I'll probably load up on a few Shirazes for next weekend. I've heard of Boonaroo somewhere.
This high end zinfandel novelty is disturbing. My mom brought a case of it back from a trip out west and I started drinking it at a party a few weeks back. I have never felt more sick the next day. I think she got fleeced by some charlatan broker, because she also bought a case of Italian champagne. If anyone offer you that, run. It tastes like stale Piper Sonoma and gives a wicked headache.
