We usually have a combined gathering of all Winefinder Groups in August and December.

On June 16, nine SIRS, together with their wives and friends gathered in the afternoon at the beautiful home of Leo and Gayle Dominguez to sample Shiraz/Syrah wines.  The wines ranged in price from an $18 Luke Calumbie Valley Syrah @ Costco to a $4 2019 Saltram Shiraz @ Trader Joe’s.  Interestingly enough, two wines were identical La Belle Angele Syrah, with neither scoring particularly well.  The disparagement possibly could be attributed to the range of goodies that accompanied the tasting, ranging from pepperoni pizza snacks to Jim Sowell’s famous Caprese Salad and Mardi Lockwara’s signature meatballs.  Dessert featured Holley Yarberry’s yummy creamy citrus cups. 

The winning wine was Roger and Mardi’s 2019 Saltram Shiraz, available at Trader Joe’s for $4.00.  Second place was awarded for the 2019 Le Belle Angele (Fr) available for $10 at Total Wines. Following the attached photo, taken in the Dominguez’s lovely garden, guests finally disbursed to their homes in the early summer evening.
