It was not a BYOB, however I still wanted a glass of wine for dinner, so I had to spend $6.50 for a single glass of Columbia Crest 2007 Syrah. Quite expensive for someone without a job.<br /><br />Before we went, I knew I would want more than just one glass of wine, which is all my poor ass could handle at the restaurant. So I headed over to the local wine cellar to buy a little something for after <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__hKb8OlAH4w/SoCAn2Px9GI/AAAAAAAAAAc/9QbNy1oF2eU/s1600-h/covey_run1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__hKb8OlAH4w/SoCAn2Px9GI/AAAAAAAAAAc/9QbNy1oF2eU/s200/covey_run1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368432177890587746" border="0" /></a>dinner. I'm not really a cake person, so wine is my dessert.<br /><br />I happened to run across Covey Run 2004 Syrah which I purchased. The price... $6.50. The same price for an entire bottle as the single glass I had for dinner. It was actually on sale, so the regular price should be about $8 or $9, but whatever. I felt it to be a good deal.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__hKb8OlAH4w/SoCBO1q9jUI/AAAAAAAAAAk/bIWRmyMTtkE/s1600-h/covey_run2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__hKb8OlAH4w/SoCBO1q9jUI/AAAAAAAAAAk/bIWRmyMTtkE/s200/covey_run2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368432847751056706" border="0" /></a><br />The wine, for such a cheap price, was really quite tasty. This was a smooth Syrah with rich flavors and spice notes. It was grown in the Washington State. I could drink glass after glass of this delicious wine.<br /><br />Sadly I am writing this post a day after drinking it, so I am a little hazy on the details of the taste. What I can easily say is that I recommend this wine if you are a Syrah drinker. It has strong flavor, and is incredibly smooth.

I love the internet. What better way to combine the two, than to create my very own Wine Blog!<br /><br />This shall be my personal wine blog. Seeing that I drink wine rather occasionally, I have decided to take my opinions on the wine I drink and share it with the entire world...on the internet.<br /><br />From now on, any time I drink a bottle of wine, I shall post about it. What does it taste like, how much bite does it have, what was the price, is it worth it, etc.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6441539682870186259-8749383185443072389?l=finevinewine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Fine.Vine.Winehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04690094255003172710noreply@blogger.com0
