This is not one of those times.
Kidding! Just fucking with you. For a $10 Petite Sirah, Two Angels 07 is an excellent value.
It is no David Fulton. Few wines are. DF is THE king of wine. My personal favorite and the wine against which all other wines are compared. Few measure up.
All that being said, I do not have $45 to spend on a bottle of wine every day. There are some petite Sirahs which are cheap and good. Or at least cheaper. Titus has an excellent one for around 30, and Rosenblum has a Pickett Road for around the same.
Most petite Sirahs I have tried in the "cheap" price range have sucked. Seriously, Powder Keg, wtf were you thinking? Tastes like burned wick, and that IS the nicest thing I can say for them. Petite Sirah is hard. It is dark and jammy and needs to be layered and sexy.
It is just hard to make sexy wine. After a bottle of DF, you will have to take a week off work, because you will still be having sex. Two Angels is like a cheap but satisfying quickie in the broom closet.
Bottom line: you never know where the day will take you, so bring a condom.
