WILSON on WINE Hey there! Did you read my last Whine column? OK, let's get down to the grape squeezin's. Taste any good wines lately? Thanks for asking! As a matter of fact, I may have had the best wine ever. Right now, I don't think I can really recall exactly how I learned of Silkwood. It just may have been that some remarkably good-hearted person took it upon himself (despite the continuing draconian laws against such kindness) to forward me a bottle of their 100% Syrah which had just scarfed up a handful of Gold Medals at a host of California tastings. In any case, it was as the French say "tray yummay" (their highest rating!). After several on-air rants about the big, smooth, velvety quality of the 100% Syrah, should appear in my mail pouch but a bottle of Silkwood 1999 Petite Syrah. Write it down. Print this screen: This is the one! Now, I have had some wine in my time and, needless to say, some were real killers. I am constantly thanking a certain Wine God to have been close enough to get a sniff and even a taste. Now, I probably need to start tithing now that I have secured not without some skullduggery - 12 bottles of this magnificent grape juice! You should do the same; it's moderately priced. But Wine Lovers tend to ignore sticker shock if they know they are getting big value for the buck. And as noted above this is the one: 1999 Silkwood Petite Syrah. Other brief sniffs of the cork:
Out of space! More wines next time! Clink! Brian Wilson Brian Wilson
