I used to by all kinds of ZINFANDEL...BUT THAT was when I had money...

The brand with the narly root on the front label was very good...

I may start watching for sales and get a bottle of that again...

When I visited California twice in the 90's I tasted some delicious zinfandel all over the state and a few in Washington state also...

Dave Harvey Upriver series 2021 Mourvedre Grenache Syrah. Obviously a blend and I’m not sure if this is something a wine snob looks down their nose at, but dang it is tasty and pairs well with this LGC Serie R.

Some of the best wines in the world are meritage which are blends of two to several different grape verities each bringing it's own unique profile.

Jake, I too have a naked wine subscription. I’d love to drink it with you. Until then, I’ll drink one “to” you.
I should get your info and follow you on there if you rate your wine. The wine I’ve gotten so far is much tastier than the stuff I usually bring home from the shpo. My shpo doesn’t protect me though.

We trifle. Wife and I love wine and have a small collection. The oldest going back 30 years or so and primarily Cabs, Zin and Shiraz.
We have planned dozens of our vacations around visiting US wineries and AVA's from California to Finger Lakes over the last 33 years. We will be going on an 8 day Viking cruise later this summer to the Bourdeaux region.
