Petite Sirah – Not Just for Sipping!
You may think we are fanatics (well, we are) but we just can’t get enough Petite Sirah!

Coming back for me always stirs something deep inside. It’s a reminder of so many of the Irish values that have made us who we are, a return to my family’s roots, our original homeland which is integral to our history and identity.
