WinEx has the largest selection IMO-

My recs would be-
Thivin
Thevenet
Foillard
Lapierre

of those, I think KL only has the Foillard

Never used that site. How are they for shipping and customer service?

I always pick up in store, so I wouldn't know about shipping- they're always receptive to calls, and are wiling to hold wines if you're out of town/etc.

FWIW, its one of the stores Manton recommended when I was asking for rec's in the OC. (it's a merger between BestWinesOnline and WineExchange)

Yup, all FP. Vajra always a favorite(and 2013 was supposed to be an epic vintage in Piedmont), beresan was good with the steak. The Tenet Syrah was much more forward and darker than the others - the favorite of several attendees

Did you buy any of The Jack Syrah (saviah cellars)? I expect the pundit to be similar for some reason, though I've not opened any of the pundit yet.

I did, but I gave it away as part of my SF secret Santa present so can't compare


Hah, when I saw that pick, I figured it was you.

I've only had one of each, but if I remember correctly, the Pundit was hotter and more fruit, The Jack more like what I expect a WA Syrah to be. Not 100% sure on my memory here.

All told I'm probably 15-20 cases from them at this point.
