As the director of PS I Love You, I book one educational Petite Sirah panel a year. (I’d love to do more, but there’s just not enough hours in the day.) Each year, we have the best and the brightest members stepping forward to be on a panel. Teh responses are so quick when I put out a request for panel members that I have to create a waiting list. The talent, passion, and commitment from the members of this group constantly amaze me. I’m honored to be working with so many great people… Honestly.
This year, the Petite Sirah producers that signed up to be on the panel at the American Wine Society’s 2008 Conference, to be held in Sacramento, California, are the following:
- Concannon Vineyard – Jim Concannon
- Foppiano Vineyards – Louis Foppiano
- Moss Creek – George & Ann Moskowite
- Mounts Family Winery – Dave Mounts
- Rosenblum Cellars – Kent Rosenblum
- Trentadue Winey & Miro Cellars – Miro Tcholakov
I’m also a panel member, because I can address the growth and history of PS in the US, as well as where it’s planted in the rest of the world.
