I like my green beer just as much as the next person, but...

...according to Maureen Petrosky, author of The Wine Club, March is a great month for Syrah (or Shiraz if you're drinking Australian wine).

Looking for a great bottle of Shiraz to bring to a party? Petrosky recommends the irreverently named Woop Woop, a $12 bottle that earned a three-star rating from The New York Times. I haven't yet tried it myself, but I did spot it at Wild Oats the other day, and I'll be sure to make this my next dinner party pick! Every other wine she's recommended has been absolutely spot on.
