I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

My favorite value Syrah.
Domaine du Colombier, Crozes-Hermitage, Cuvee Gaby, 2005 is a terrific wine that peter and I have been drinking a lot of. It's $24.99 at the Wine House. They make a less fancy version (not called Cuvee Gaby) for $19.99 that's equally as good.
It's 100% Syrah from the Northern Rhone Valley in France. It has everything you want in Syrah, meat, smoke, game, dark plummy fruit and firm acidity. Delicious and brooding. Run to get this now, because I know Jim gets it in limited quantities!
