Any thoughts on those? And whatever happened to Teldeschi, anyway? Not a winery name I see around any more.

Jenise,
The Teldeschi should be pretty good. I think he (Ray or Mike) is still in business...just maybe not in much distribution.
Don't know the M2.
The B&H wines I didn't much care for...some pretty over the top. And many closed w/ plastic corks...which failed.
Bandini...that name doesn't trigger anything in my mind.
ScholiumProject: Now we're talking here. AbeSchoener gets is grapes from Tenbrink vnyd (where he makes his wine) there in the
SuisunVlly of SolanoCnty. MattRorick/ForlornHope also makes PS from those same grapes. I haven't followed Abe's PS very
closely (or even...from the very start), but the one I had was a big bruiser that I thought would age very well. Matt's is one of
the best in Calif...from an area that gets no respect.

Heck, I'm 73 and I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up!
David Lole wrote:Is the following information correct?
[b][i]"Petite Sirah is a cross between 2 other red grapes : Syrah (Shiraz?) and Peloursin.
Petite Sirah is also called Durif.
Petite Sirah gives dark wine with flavors of black pepper.
Syrah gives full body and powerful wine, able to mature and age for a long time with flavors of chocolate and black berry.

Ian Brand's wines from purchased grapes mostly from Monterey County. Generally good QPRs.
