Great Rick Nichols article HERE in the Philadelphia Inquirer about Two Hands Wines. I had the pleasure of having dinner/trading wines with Michael Twelftree of Two Hands Wines as well as Wayne Keoghan of Annvers Wines and Mohammed Ansaar of Fonthill Winery last June and it was a rare treat. A real tour of well produced Shiraz, Grenache and combinations thereof. And great company too.

This article is very interesting. I really think the analogy about the "train theory" hits it on the head, not merely with Shiraz, but with any wine.

"The fruit is like the train car," he said, "and I think of the acid as the train tracks - they give it structure. The tannins are the brakes."

That's a pretty good description. I think I'll remember that one.
