Thanks for the additional info. Of course, my reference is American and if we go around saying "see-rah" folks will think we're incredibly pretentious, so we just say things in 'Merkan: si-rah. I think we can get away with Shi-razz OK. ;-) Cheers! Nancy Hi, Ryan! Thanks for the additional info.

Some people are just more wrong than others :P Only kidding. It's just that people are not taught correctly, and people who are incorrect don't like to be told they're wrong, so they perpetuate ignorance. Syrah = French. Pronunciation: See-rah. Shiraz = Australian. Pronunciation: Shi-razz (rhymes with pizazz). I think a lot of people pronounce the latter as "shi-rahz" because they aren't sure and they want it to sound French. Becoming popular in Australia the name changed slightly. It should also be noted that the production style and resulting wines are quite different. Cheers!

I load and unload there on a regular basis. Sebastiani and Coppola are two of them. I can tell you the names of many wineries that use Conetech. I load and unload there on a regular basis.
