1998 Bianchi Syrah

[Innkeeper]

Tried our first Bianchi last night after trying the 2000 Pepperwood Grove the night before (see Best Buys under Drew's 1999 post). Don't want to get in trouble with anyone, but this is a very close call. When you add the S&H into the cost of the Bianchi the total cost of both is almost the same. The Pepperwood was more impressive with the jam upfront (understand that some don't care for this); and the Bianchi showed more class and complexity across the palate. Both finished much the same. We are looking forward to finishing our remaining 11 Bianchi's. For those who missed out on it, look for the Pepperwood Grove.
