SFChron: Cold-Climate Syrah

Terrific article in today's SFChron by Jon Bonne on cold-climate Syrah. He captures well the thoughts many of us have been having for a number of yrs. EhrenJordan's comment on Cornas/NorthernRhone not being a Mediterrean climate are spot on. Lots of good friends in there...AdamTolmach, EhrenJordan, BobLindquist, TomDehlinger, SteveDoerner.
A highly recommended read.

SFChron: ColdClimate Syrah

Interesting article. Pinot Noir has been grown along the Niagara Escarpment, in both Ontario and New York for several years and recent plantings of Syrah/Shiraz are now becoming available.
