Wines aren't the only things that have "terroir" - the term used to describe the environmental factors like soil and sun that give a wine its particular flavors. Sake, the Japanese alcohol distilled from rice, has terroir, too.
The Wine Selection of the Week is Syrah from Sonoma County. About half are from the Dry Creek Valley and the other half from the Russian River Valley. Just about all of their picks rated two stars (**). The Bargain Wine Selection is from the southern hemisphere, where the grape harvesta have long been over in Argentina, Australia, and Chile.
Just in time for Labor Day festivities, Pulled Pork Sandwiches that go great with the Syrah selection, and Clisson, a French goat's milk cheese that's been rinsed in Sauternes.
To change up a margarita, try Greek ouzo instead of tequila.
