Well my friend Amy @educatedpalates, told me about the Alphabet Challenge that she was participating in with some other bloggers.

This time, they are releasing their 2007 VERGE Syrah, from Dry creek Valley. It is only the winery’s second vintage, and it is impressive. VERGE Wines specializes in what they call “Fringe Vineyards”, those that are outside the norm. In [...] It’s January, and for me, that means a busy wine month. First, Winter Wineland is next weekend – January 16-17. At Winter Wineland, over 100 wineries in Russian River, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley throw open their doors and show their best wines and nibbles.
