To explore and chronicle the grape, it's many stories and it's journey from dirt to glass.

I'm not sure why, but a cloudy afternoon and some Harry Potter, pair beautifully with a little @bonnydoonvineyard Grenache and lunch.

Happy Beaujolais Nouveau Day everyone! Is anyone else sipping Beaujolais today? #beaujolais #beaujolaisnouveau #beaujolaisnouveau2019 #firstwineoftheharvest #youcansipwithus #wine #carbonicmaceration

It's still #nationalzinfandelday and we are still celebrating! We found this beauty is the cellar. A gift to be sure (I should get out there to visit!). Janell is 4th generation Paso Roblan who grew up on the Dusi vineyard where prized Zin grapes hail from.
It hits duller on the palate on the first sip. I think perhaps it's hitting a closed phase. But quite honestly I need to give this a minute to open up. This dips a little into the purples color wise, but only a bit, holding on to deep reds. There is a bit of a rim. Tidy tannins stroll along your mouth sweeping up after themselves. The next swish is a bit livelier, but still mellow. Pronounced in a polite way. This is not the wine that Tobin James would make with these grapes.
As it opens there is more of those notes of raisins, stewed fruits. #youcansipwithus #pasorobleswinecountry #zinfandel @jdusiwines

Dark skies on one side, sun on the other...big drops and rainbow..clouds roar in the back, flashes out of the corner of my eye. #vegasthunderstorms
