Cycles Gladiator
We once again found ourselves at Your DeKalb Farmers Market, this time late at night (they close at 9, so 8 o'clock is late) so we missed the after-work crowds.
YDFM is not really a farmers' market, but it is the best grocery store I've ever known.
The shopping pattern is as follows:
Check out the nuts
Check out the sauces and jams
Check out the pasta and flour and beans
Tracy goes to the spice section and Matt goes to the wine and beer section
Today I found a 2006 Cycles Gladiator Syrah for $8.
(The picture is grabbed from their site - it isn't from the bottle I bought)
At first I thought it was French, simply because the label has a picture of a bicycle, but it's Californian ("Central Coast"). The label said it got a 93 on the wine rating scale they use, and my rule is if it's under $10 and over 90% on the scale, then I should get it.
I did and it's quite nice.
