Bargain bin at Dan Murphy's but a lovely wine. Fruity but a hint of smokiness. At the lighter end of the Shiraz scale but very enjoyable. — 12 years ago

What the hell,@Ned Gray Creed ? I thought the hocus pocus would magically create more or this, not that it would disappear so quickly... Great juice. Spice for days. As always, thanks for the pick. 2012 vintage. — 9 years ago

We discovered this winery Holus Bolus/Hocus Pocus/Genuine Risk from Everson Royce. We had a private tasting in their Lompoc Wine Ghetto garage and fell in love. This very affordable Roussanne is smooth and beautifully drinkable with hints of honeysuckle, peach and maple. Not sweet but also not tart-perfectly balanced. This is a white wine for any occasion. Goes very well with spicy food - we first had this with Quinoa Chili. — 11 years ago

The second label to Amy Christine’s Holus Bolus, but still top-notch. From Santa Barbara! It gives ripe black fruit (cherries, plums, berries) for days with a touch of licorice and lilacs on the nose. The palate is spritely, with decent acid and sandy tannins adding grip to a surprisingly light-bodied blend. Easy-going but complex enough to add intrigue. — a month ago
