It is a great red wine for all occasions.Full body with depth.you must be a red wine lover to really enjoy. I was first tempted to try the Yellow Tail label while in California where it is a wine lovers paradise! You have so many good choices your not sure. I have grown to love the brand, not just the reds. Priced so you can afford without breaking the bank! Try it! I like Syrah.

I wonder at times if we at time analyze to the point of losing perspective. I do not wish to be a Vulcan when tasting food/wine. Tasting is an emotional experience as well as a intellectual one. Jay p.s how is the back? Perhaps “should” was meant more as an suggestion and less of a instruction. I wonder at times if we at time analyze to the point of losing perspective.

I agree that this guest did a bunch of name dropping on wine makers without any real evaluation of the wine. i was also a bit put off by how we "should" just experiment and not make pairing an exercise in detailed flavor analysis. having friends who spend lots of time analyzing flavors and what to pair with various foods, i see how they get joy from this detailed analysis. personally i'm more in craig's camp; drink what u like with food u like. but i certainly honor and respect those who put much more work into their pairing choices. that said, craig's enthusiasm and knowledge of bbq was great. it totally made me hungry and fire up the grill (although i was driving at the time). i did come home and braise up a pork shoulder. not bbq, but still... best. catching up on old podcasts! love those pig photos jay! looks awesome!

It is the grape being used to make the red wine in the northern Rhonevalley in France. Now I will nothing say about Yellow Tail White Label Syrah, as a brand and is certainly good value for the money. But i think you have to know that the syrah wines from northern Rhonevalley are more complex than you could ever imagine. Famous names like Cote Rotie, Hermitage, St Joseph. This is where we have to learn that those typical wines from there, are NOT wines for all occasions but gastronomic wines that can age 10,15 and upto 20 years and more. But I do agree there is a huge ammount of well made fruity, pretty dark colored Syrah in this world that keeps a lot of BBQ parties going. I do hope to meet you one day with my company Wine Safari in the Rhone valley to make you Syrah more "understandable". Sincere Greetings Mike Rijken Wine Safari Dear Nancy Wright,

Especially with beef and veal. In Piedmont they BBQ a lot and this is what they drink with their meals. Because of the great acidity in Barbera it cuts right through the fattiness in a barbequed meat. Barbera d’Alba/Barbera d’Asti and BBQ is a fantastic pairing. Especially with beef and veal.

I have had friends from places as far away as Argentina, Brazil and Switzerland ask me to bring them Craig's rubs. While I enjoy virtually all of the Grape Radio programs, I particularly enjoyed this one and think more shows with a dual wine/food focus would be interesting and fun. As for " name dropping ", I was impressed that so many superb wine makers, who obviously enjoy great food and wine, would think so highly of Craig's barbecue that they would invite him to cook for their families and friends.

Though I have also never gone wrong with just a good ol burger with a decent merlot. Hope this has gotten you as hungry as me now.

I have lots of opinions on BBQ, not sure how much would be opinions Vs useful information. I do know that the subject of BBQ methods can really get people worked up! :-) Eric, what in the world are you waiting for? Get your butt in gear and get a smoker/grill. Warning, IT IS ADDICTIVE!

The guest was a pompous name-dropper who merely asserted opinions rather than offering any useful information. It was pretty hard to listen to. I did, however, enjoy listening to Jay's excitement about bbq and smoking in particular. His enthusiasm makes me want to get a smoker and give it a try. I was pretty disappointed by this show.
