At our Qual rating level for Royal City Syrah, its QPR doesn't come up that great. Remember, we're comparing prices for all Syrahs that have the same Qual rating in order to determine QPR. Whether or not it's considered a cult Syrah or not has no bearing on our QPR calculation. Greg, First comparing Cabs and Syrahs is like comparing apples and oranges.

You've noted in the past that you are comparing QC to other cult Cabs that cost hundreds per bottle, and thus $125 is a great QPR. I'd disagree that it's the best QPR possible, but I understand your logic. Shouldn't you thus be comparing the Royal City Syrah to other cult Syrahs given its recent press? I'm assuming that would be stuff like SQN, Alban and Guigal LaLa's. I’m kind of curious why the Royal City Syrah has such a low QPR relative to the QC Cab.

Planning on a trip to GaryV's place next weekend! Bummed I can't make Taste of WA this year either :( - Mark I’m totally infatuated with Charles Smith right now – no one near me in NJ carries Royal City.
