A California Zinfandel Wine Tasting – Episode #706

[AryanKnight]

-Hahaaaaaaaa, -Gary doesn't hold back, but separate wine-glasses might add credibility --Nevertheless, great commentary! While watching, i un-corked a bottle of circa-2006 LakeSonoma-Winery's 'Old Vine Zinfandel' by Sani Farms of DryCreek-Valley Calif. (15.0%-alc.), which Grommet-chef Ron'McElroy left me... What a delightful sipping-experience! To modulate tasting, i opened a can of 'solid-white Albacore-tuna' (squeezed-away water), and viola, the most enjoyable Zin i've ever savored! ~Robair

As much as Gary disliked the St. Francis Pagani Ranch, my all-time favorite Zin is the 1997 St. Francis Old Vines. A giant fruit bomb to be sure and not to everyone's liking, but I've never experienced anything like it. I roamed all over North Texas hunting down the last cases of the stuff. It was a sad day when the final empty bottle was put in the recycle bin.

I am glad that Gary is bringing wine to the masses just as Povarotti brought opera and taking all this snobbery out of it.

Will someone explain something to me and excuse my ignorance.

I come from a very Italian family and I have been drinking wine since I was a kid and to this day I can not see why there is a red for 20 dollars and a red for 500 dollars and I will be damned if I can taste a $480.00 difference. Is it just me?

Berringer white Zinfandel. ya, the cheap stuff. havent drank a lot of it though. i drink it straight out of the bottle sometimes. maybe with a paper bag wrapped around it. makes the mouth happy though :D

Yeah, I also rather no guests, and sticking to the topic of wine. Good episode. I need to try more Zinfandel.
