I’d love to see more Syrahs. Samuel Louis Smith has a great one as does McKahn. I’m sure you know far more than I do! Maybe you’ve reviewed McKahn before. Another interesting idea would be to do side by side reviews of two wines, same variety from the same vineyard from two different producers.

Chardonnay, especially the ones that taste rich and buttery. Also, I’ve never met a Pinot Noir I didn’t like, so always love to have a recommended list of those on hand. Anything in general on organic wines, just curious on those. Thanks so much for asking! Loving your site.
