California’s Best Value
Just when you think the SF Chronicle has run out of lead stories for it’s weekly Wine section, another stellar article emerges. If you have never tried old vine Zinfindel, you have missed out. This varietal is expressive of the land where it is grown, is extremely affordable, and receives higher ratings than many other grapes. In fact, the article points out Zinfindel is the best value amoung all U.S. wine, comparing prices with ratings from Wine Spectator. (Pinot Noir is the most overpriced.) The history of the grape is discussed, a very nice read.
