Good evening! I hope you have all had a great last few days! Life has been busy but that’s what happens these days, but isn’t it always? Sometimes you have to mix it up a bit, so I did so with the 2017 Plungerhead Old Vine Zinfandel this last week. I don’t pick a Zinfandel as a general rule, but I felt sucked in it by its label. I enjoyed this wine after about 20 minutes of letting it breathe. The initial tastes of smoke and hickory were good, but were much better when mellowed after the wine opened up. It was a good medium-bodied wine and had good fruit tastes but not overwhelmingly so. This is a wine from grapes grown in the Lodi and Paso Robles California areas. You can find this wine at Market Street and some other grocery stores for around $18 per bottle.
