Sonoma County, California - $16
So, it’s January in New England. Newsflash: baby, it’s cold outside! But don’t let it get you down. The best way to ward off the cold and keep your spirits high, whether you’re hot-tubbin’ it apres-ski or under the covers with your cat, Fluffy, is with a large glass of California sunshine.
The folks at XYZin have just the wine to keep you toasty this Winter. Their 2007 XYZin 10 Zinfandel is packed with vibrant, plum fruit, and the spice notes are a clue that this vino packs a punch with a higher than average alcohol content.
Think of it as a liquid sweater, similar to the beer coat you sported during the college days. Winemaker Ondine Chattan focuses exclusively on Zinfandel grapes and is determined to wring every last fruity drop out of California’s third most-planted grape.
We recommend you pour yourself a great big glass, cuddle up to your favorite snowbunny and ride out the cold in style.
Drink liberally with comfort foods like mac and cheese, large bowls of pasta or anything you can find delivered during the next snow storm.
