Yeah, I know. His name was Hoss, not Goss.

If you want to get really fussy about it, his actual name on the show was Eric.
“Hoss” was only his nickname. His name for real was Dan Blocker. He died in 1972.

This whole Goss/Hoss thing was an afterthought anyway.

What I heard when I tasted this Australian Cabernet
was the theme music from Bonanza, loud and clear.
Hard-charging and heroic, ridin’ on horseback and shootin’ at the bad guys.
It was only after I heard the music in my head that I thought of Hoss Cartwright.

You need you to ignore the fact that this bottle says 2011 McLaren Vale Shiraz
since what I actually tasted was the 2012 McLaren Vale Cabernet.
Other than that, the labels look the same.

You know how it is. I wanted to download a photo instead of taking my own and
I couldn’t find a photo of the 2012 Cab so I decided I’d rather explain the discrepancy
than fool around with trying to get the focus just right.
