The Bordeaux glass is perfect for a bodied red wine.
It is taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl.
The large size of the glass allows the bouquet to develop. It smooths out rough edges, plays down tannins, and allows the wines to achieve balance.
The slimmer bowl sends the wine directly to the back of the mouth for maximum taste.

Petite Sirah is a grape originally called Durif, after a French botanist (Francois Durif), who created it in the 1860s.
Syrah and Peloursin grapes were crossed during pollination in Durif's greenhouse, resulting in a small, intensely colored grape with high tannins, high fruit, and high acidity.
Petite (means small in French), but Sirah is NOT a baby Syrah (Shiraz).
Petite is related to the fact that the berries are smaller than Syrah. The smaller the berries, the higher the concentration of color and tannins.
Petite Sirah wines are big and bold (like dark ink) with tons of dark fruit flavors, and tannins.
Alcohol can be addictive. Drink in moderation.
