How do you choose which wines from which region to taste?
Next time you choose Amador County (if you do), I would suggest the following: Scott Harvey Wines, Jeff Runquist, Dillian Wines, Yorba Wines, Fiddletown Cellars, and Cooper Vineyards.
They all make great Zins that I think your Zinfanatics would be pleased with.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions, Jenae. We attempt to taste Zinfandels from all major regions. We taste the wines that are available to us through local retailers, online sources or provided to us by the wineries themselves. I hope you continue to visit our Website often and provide additional comments.
