To wine and not to wine

I was given a gift by Greg during Christmas of 2008 that I finally got around to tasting.  It was a bottle of 2007 Zinfandel wine from the Sehhesio Family Vineyards. 

I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Thanks Greg.  I opened and got inspired.  I started cooking some pasta sauce.  It ended up being very good also.  

I remembered that Greg said that his father had enjoyed this particular wine.  He had good taste I think.  

I looked up the vineyard and started to go shopping. I think I'd like to get some more.  Greg ??

Meanwhile my batch of wine, a Chilean Merlot is progressing nicely. I'm at the clarification stage with about 6 weeks till  is ready.

The 2007 Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel is becoming more and more difficult to find; it's really good, it got great press (93 points and #10 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 for 2008, and the 2008 vintage will be released soon. You might look at H-E-B, Specs or other places that sell fine wine. I'll keep an eye out up here, see if I can find any more. Glad you liked it! ~Greg
