Concannon Petite Sirah 2003

Price: $11.49 @ Trader Joe's
Recommended by: a friend who likes petite sirahs
Tasting notes: This petit sirah may be as good as Bogle but costs a few dollars more. It has a bold, dark fruity flavor, with hints of blueberry and raisin. It has some tartness to it, but a smooth finish. We will definitely get this wine again.
Rating: 7.5/10

Bogle Petite Sirah 2003

Price: $11.99 (This is a fairly popular wine, so most wine shops will have it.)
Recommended by: Sunset magazine
Tasting notes: We like this wine A LOT. It has a bright, fruity opening with a very smooth, almost chocolaty finish; one of our favorites for the $$. We most recently enjoyed this with a cheese pizza -- a match made in heaven!
