The: October Report
Leroy Stewart introduced (or re-introduced) us to the "Seven
Deadly 'Zins'" with the history of the vines followed by six
examples and a port to finish. The group ratings from top to bottom,
with retail prices, were:
-
Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2001 - 9 votes ($39.99)
-
Murphy-Goode Snake Eyes - 8 votes ($35.95) Lodi Zinfandel 2002 - 7
votes ($18.99)
-
Montevina Amador County Zinfandel 2000 - 2 votes ($12.99)
-
Cartlidge & Brown Zinfandel 2001 - 1 vote (9.99)
-
Deep Creek Old Vine Zinfandel 2002 - 0 votes! ($15.99 - the only
thing going for it, apparently is the fact that it is produced in
Garret County, albeit from California grapes).
Thanks to Leroy for another is a series of great educational programs.
The November Tasting. etc.
November 21st takes us to the Murrays who are both house and wine
hosts. Space is limited to 25 so please call us by November 17th. The
theme will be "Holiday Wines" or "For Fowl and
Beast". As usual, directions are on the other side.
Don't forget our Ham Mowbray and Alan Kacsur Scholarship Fund by
bringing a check for $25.00 payable to AWSEF and also to bring a
bottle of wine with a retail value of at least $10.00 for our Wine
Baskets. Call Becky Wilson if you have any questions or to arrange to
deliver your donations to her if you can't make the tasting.
