The Crusher Petite Sirah was really good. We had it last night with pizza and continued with it after dinner. It had a really good fruit forward taste, with a big nose and long finish. It was a dark purple in the glass and tasted like blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Nice, full, big body and taste. Krista and I really can't go wrong with a good Petite Sirah.

This wine capped off a great fall day in Safety Harbor. We went to Jackson's baseball game earlier in the day, watched football, picked out some pumpkins with the boys at the pumpkin patch, and really enjoyed the first day of cool weather this year. I don't know how long it will last, but we'll take it!!

To top it all off, UK beat Auburn for the first time since the 1960's...especially amazing since we had to rely on our two backup quarterbacks...Luckily, we still have Randall Cobb. That guy's a beast.
