2006 Goats Do Roam Red

November6

Goats Do Roam

If you know me at all, you’ll know that I love the play on words that embodies this wine. Goats Do Roam is a South African red table wine playing off the hugely popular French wine region Cotes du Rhone … LOVE IT! First of all, Goats are cute, and puns are just fun.

However… Goats du Roam is primarily Syrah, which is often too bold for my taste. Too tannic (or “supple” as the label often says) is usually my interpretation. I was disappointed that Goats Do Roam fell into my stereotypical Syrah, so I’ll not be purchasing a bottle anytime soon.

Origin: South Africa
Where: Publix
Cost: About $9-$10
Next time: I’ll pass
