    Good work! Have you ever tasted “Canaiolo Nero” 100% from Organic Tuscany?

    all wines are works of art anyone that belittles are anything but wine experts. every wine has its purpose a well made white zin matches well with anything you would match a port with especially blue cheeses in fact in matches better then port because the acidity in the zin will cut through the fat of the cheese……

    Thanks for your time and effort doing this video! I want to learn about wines and you are able to convey and describe something as intangible as a flavour in a very rich way. I am glad your videos came through when searching for “wine”.

    Nice video! We’ll also be running a zinfandel on UNWINED.TV – the open wine show! I should stress, it’ll be red zinfandel!

    white zinfandel from the store is probably 2nd run wine, with sugar n water thats why its so light and probably sweet

    @NotToPreach i don’t think she was trying to be vindictive with her comment, she was just making a light-hearted jab. there’s nothing wrong with liking sweet drinks — including soda pop. you should hear the way some actual wine snobs go on about how ‘terrible and unrefined’ white zin is.

    @Cheers2Wine thats cause she called Zinfandel, Zinfandel and the other one Zinfandel as well, i dont think she can tell the diffrence between Zinfandel and Zinfandel. Its easy Zinfandel is Zinfandel and ther other one is Zinfandel.

    It’s amazing how many people get White Zinfandel and Zinfandel confused….sometimes even restaurants get mixed up.

  12. # NotToPreachon 13 Dec 2011 at 4:52 pm

    who is she to say anything about someone liking the white Zinfandel. “Enjoy your soda pop after that”. Yep leave it to export village. I could say that she has enjoyed her BBQ too much, but that would not be nice.

    I have made both a “white” and a red Zin this year. Excellent. Happy drinking.

    ha! I love the subtle slam on white zin (the ultimate cheese), “soda pop” (snicker sneer).

    @cosmosman if you like whites, i’d suggest a Johannesburg Riesling, or Gewurztraminer. Reds, try a Shiraz, or a greek amethystos red.

    Zins are my favorite red wines. White Zin tastes like soda mixed with kerosene though, and they’re always a little effervescent. I’m not a wine expert but I know good from bad. In reds I like Zin 1st, Chianti 2nd, and Merlot 3rd. Even the economy priced Zins are great; Tuscan Chianti is never cheap where I live; cheap Merlot is not suitable for drinking, it will give you a headache, I use it for cooking; the good Merlots are definately underrated.

    shes like the perfect example of a complete crazy nut ball that seems normal at first glance

    Check out WINE vs FOOD (Episode One) on youtube

    Think Chinese chicken feet with a glass of California Merlot OR BBQ Pork over rice with a Spicy Shirazz!!!

    white zin is a great desert wine imo.

    I haven’t tried a whole lot of wine.

    but i like White zin, chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Maybe its because i haven’t tried any good ones…but the Reds are just too dry for me.

    Go drink your soda pop after that! Haha! Perfect. :) Great video.
