#WineStudio – Online Session XXII – Zinfandel Rising
Inspired by Le Metro Wine’s all Zinfandel February collection, we decided to go all red, single variety.
Zinfandel is either loved or despised – never a middle ground for this red grape. Zinfandel has been the archenstone for the California wine scene since the mid 1800s and has had its fair share of ups and downs. But what is the true essence of Zinfandel and which has remained constant throughout its turbulent history is its adaptability.
