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

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

This weekend the french #winophiles will venture into Rasteau! Join us Saturday at 8 am PST on twitter.
This is just one of the beautiful wines that we tasted and paired from the region. This 2015 vintage wine was a 60/40 blend of Grenache and Mourvedre from Chateau du Trignon
We paired it with the flavors of fall and Thanksgiving. #sponsored @rhonevalleyvineyards

It's fall, but it's still getting to the 70's in Vegas so we are stretching the season with this lovely rosé from Hedges Family Estate in Red Moutain Washington.
This is a Columbia Valley AVA wine with 66% Syrah and 34% Grenache. We spent a morning chatting with Sarah Hedges Goedhart, winemaker and daughter of the owners, last July. On their site it says "where soil meets soul" and Sarah exudes this sentiment. This wine is part of their DLD line (Descendants Liegeois Dupont) on the bottle " In 1976 Anne-Marie Liegeois said goodbye to her life in Champagne France and left for the US with her husband Tom Hedges. The DLD rosé is an homage to both the Dupont and Legeois sides of her family. This wine is dedicated to her grandfather Marcel Dupont, Chevalier du Tastevin and bon-Vivant. Lover of good food and great wines." This went beautifully with lobster cakes and smoked salmon. @hedgeswine @wineyakimavalley #redmountainwine #washingtonstatewine #winewednesday #youcansipwithus
