Joe H Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 A month ago I sat at the bar in Legal Seafood in Boston's Logan Airport scarfing down dinner before a delayed flight. The wine list included a $9.00/glass wine called "Nine Stones" Barossa Shiraz. I tried a glass. A short pour, three or four gulps and good enough to order a second glass. A woman next to me asked if I liked it and ordered a glass for herself. Soon, two more at the bar tried a glass also. All of us liked it. All of us thought it was a bargain...for nine dollars a glass. When I returned home I went onto WineZap fully expecting/hoping that I'd find it for under $20 a bottle. I really thought this was a step UP from, say, Shotfire Ridge. Scrolling down the results almost every bottle was under $15. Fifteen!!! Some were around eleven. Unbelievable. Eleven dollars a bottle for some really smooth, seriously delicious swill that should have sold for at least twice as much. Actually this is personally embarassing: a wine that is around eleven a bottle that is good enough that I want to share this find with others. Eleven a bottle!!! It's either that good or I've become that cheap... Today I found it at Costco. Ten ninety seven a bottle. Ten ninety seven!~~~! I bought a dozen bottles and felt that I had almost stolen it. A really good wine at a more than fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthitch Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Would you say that this is syrupy enough to do a short stack of pancakes well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lperry Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I enjoy the occasional Shiraz, and this one is taking the edge off today's arctic chill quite nicely. Very smooth. Thank you, Joe H, for the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Joe H, for the recommendation. Thank you, lperry. I'm about three cases into this by now. A remarkable bargain for an everyday wine.

Sthitch Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 If it is anything like this it will. From the Cape Classics website Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz was born out of the realization that there are not a lot of options available to consumers seeking quality sweet red wine. This fresh, fruity, semi-sweet Shiraz aims to fill that void. Yumm-O, someone get me a flapjack and a side of bacon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
