Michael David Petite Petit — $14

Michael David Petite Petit ($14)

  I always passed by this cartoon character label with the two elephants sipping wine. But Wine Enthusiast named this Petite Sirah their #2 pick on the 2015 top 100 wines, giving it a 94 point rating.  That caught my eye!  So, as Wine Enthusiast says "*Don't let the cartoony label fool you, this is a fantastic wine*."  This is dark red wine with big rich fruit flavors. But, as Wine Enthusiast goes on "*For all its density and depth, however, this is not an overpowering monster.*" A really good highly rated wine at a terrific price.  You need to try this one!
