"Anyone have any good Petit Syrah suggestions"

Vinum. Best I have had for the $$$.
As good as the ones that sell in the $20s, and way better than the cheap ones.
Right now they are between vintages, but in a few weeks start looking around for the '03.
Good stuff, and the fellows that make it have a great sense of humor.
And if you happen to like really good, really dry Chenin Blanc, try theirs. It is one of the best from Ca.
(And the picture of them on the front lable, holding up a sign saying "Will Work For Chenin" is a hoot!)
