Seghesio and Ridge are my favorite Zinfandels. Reasonable price point, full bodied, smooth tannins. Love the deep berry flavor

I go to Porter Creek in Healdsburg a good bit and always leave with a Zin. Not sure how widely available it is though.

My favorite Zin is from Bella vineyards in dry creek. We used to be part of the wine club but the drive was just a little too far when we moved to the east bay. The new times we’ve been back we’re considered responding. It’s so good but can be a little $$. I still think about it though.

Bella is awesome

I really like onward Zinfandel. Blackbird Merlot is yummy too. The berry flavors in both come out very nicely

Bedrock Zin is a favorite!

I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!
