THE Z TO G TASTING
Okay, let’s play the alphabet soup game this week with an eclectic grouping of vowels and consonants from a sterling collection of wines to sample this week.
We’ll start of with a Chardonnay from ZD, where they really know how to work oak and then welcome the approaching summer with an Oregon Acrobat Rose of Pinot Noir.
We’ll stay in Oregon with a delicious Planet Oregon Pinot Noir, then move south with a 92-rated Sebastiani Secolo blend, a Press Cellars Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and finish with a luscious G Zinfandel from the Stagecoach Vineyards on Atlas Peak.
Please join us and bring your spellchecks.
