When I bought this bottle at Costco, I did not realize that this wine was made by Chris Gorman of Gorman Winery and Mark Ryan McNeilly of Mark Ryan Winery . After a little research, I learned that the 2010 ghost in the machine is part of a collaborative wine project now named The Giant Wine Company . Chris and Marks goal? To produce reasonably priced wines for newer wine drinkers. In a word “accessible” wines. I've met Mark a couple of times, the first time was last year at Revelry on Red Mountain and the second was earlier this year at Taste Washington Seattle . He's tall of stature, friendly, a winemaker who's earned many accolades. Once you taste his wines, you'll understand why they are so highly sought-after. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gorman, he's now on my list. I suggest you buy this red wine. It will be the most affordable Mark Ryan/Chris Gorman wine you will ever find. It's also very good. Photo: the ghost in the machine C...
