Wine maverick Joshua Wesson of Best Cellars claims that Syrah is the next big thing in the world of wine, and deservedly so. He even says, "This is the wine that's going to knock Merlot out of the ring." Check out these picks from Josh and see what you think:

France: Bois de Renard from the Languedoc region for about $10 a bottle.

Australia: Wolf Blass Shiraz (Syrah is called Shiraz in Australia) for around $12 a bottle.

California: Qupe Syrah
