97 Rosemount GSM

Are you referring to the Grenache-Shiraz blend? If so, I got a few bottles at Haskell's giant sale for $5.50 each. What a great buy!

I just love that Haskell's and Syrdyk's here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) have giant sales twice a year with excellent selections.

Why pay $20 for a bottle of wine?

I'm new to the whole Grenache and Shiraz type of grape, but I like it. I like the Shiraz more. The Jacob's Creek Shiraz ($6.50 on sale) and Rosemount Estate Shiraz ($7.50 on sale) seem to be perrenial excellent values and work well with everything from barbeques to just sipping.

As far as $20 or more wines go, I wouldn't mind trying one of the classic Rhone greats to compare against, but these under $10 wines taste pretty good to me.
