Over the past few weeks we’ve been focused on Zinfandel and it’s finally time to do the wrap up. The majority of these Zins are from California, but one Italian Primitivo is thrown into the mix just for fun, and that’s the only one that came in with a price under ten bucks. The classic […]
This isn’t the first time we’ve reviewed the Edmeades Mendicino County Zinfandel. In fact, the 2006 vintage of this wine was the top pick, earning a solid 92 points, the last time we did a big series on Zinfandel. Today, we’re checking out the 2007 vintage. Edmeades only produces Zinfandel, and has been doing so […]
The vast majority of Zinfandel that I come across is from California, but to mix things up I thought I’d include a review of an Italian Zinfandel. If you look at wines in the Italian section of your favorite wine shop you may not even know that some of the wines you’re looking at are […]
What’s better than a tasty Zinfandel on a spring day? A tasty Zinfandel for which half the profits go to charity. And what could be a more enjoyable way to give to charity than by drinking wine? Well, I really can’t think of one. Agent for Change isn’t just a clever name for a wine, […]
Let’s start with something positive… I love the label on this Zinfandel. Other than that, it’s just OK. Not bad, but just OK. And it is a good deal. Masked Rider wine is produced by the Panther Rock Wine Company, founded by fourth generation descendants of the Franzia family, which first produced wines in 1896. […]
I feel guilty right now. Guilty that I haven’t shared this review with you sooner. You see, I take my tasting notes in sessions where I taste several wines in a category in one sitting. Then later I’ll do some background research on the wines and write up the review along with my tasting notes. […]
I first discovered Four Vines Zinfandels a couple years ago at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival, where they instantly became my favorite wines out of hundreds at that event. And yet I had never heard of them before that event. In my conversation with one of the reps, she shared that Four Vines refuses to […]
There is a thing that wine bloggers do each month called Wine Blogging Wednesday and today is the 67th time this event has occurred. It’s a day when numerous wine bloggers from around the world all write about the same thing. There is always a “host” for Wine Blogging Wednesday who picks the theme and […]
Over the past couple years I’ve become a full-fledged fan of X Winery. They are consistently putting out some tasty wine at reasonable prices. I won’t say their prices are ultra-cheap, but they are reasonable and the quality-to-price ratio tends to be excellent with X Winery. This Zinfandel gives me another reason to love them. […]
Ottimino is a vineyard that produces nothing but Zinfandel. Most of their wines are in the $30+ price range, with the exception of their Zinfinity brand. The vineyard for Zinfinity is right next to the Rancho Bello vineyard in the Russian River Valley, but they are quite different. The vines for Zinfinity are the youngest […]
