Looking back over my blog posts from the past couple of years, I realized that there are definitely some under-represented wine types and regions. With this in mind, I decided to pick up something different and new when I visited the Vintages section of my local LCBO. As I passed through the California section I was intrigued by the selection of Zinfandels. I spotted one in particular that had only a few bottles remaining - always a good sign.Zig Zag Zin is delicious! I was struck by its dryness and the strong tannins that give that "fuzzy teeth" sensation. On the nose I detected hay, strawberries, and a hint of rust. On the pallatte, toffee, spice, and licorice. This wine was big, juicy, and oh so tasty. I have never been a big drinker of this quintessential California grape, but now I think I will have it a little more often.
