This show, amiably presented by Petri Wines, like Sherlock Holmes, takes the detective/sidekick approach and makes it into a San Francisco treat... (where have I heard that before?) Sound quality of this group varies, and so does the writing. It's good for a detective show that follows most of the urbane formulas with glints of good writing here and there. The commercials get you thirsty, but the selection of wines from Petri shows that Napa/Sonoma classy California was yet to be. Also, Internet Archive has a very interesting Oral History of Petri WInes in pdf form. Thanks, Internet Archive! Dennis Hermanson Hillsborough, NC
