One of my good friends was telling me about one she brought back from Napa that checks in at 19.1%!! I can't even imagine how that one is. I love my zins in the winter....but spring is rearing its head here so I'm looking forward to some more whites and roses coming up.<BR/><BR/>I saw you mention on another blog comment that you frequent a shop in Pasadena. My husband is from La Canada and his parents still live there, so we are out that way from time to time!Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-36660939747907162882007-03-05T09:42:00.000-08:002007-03-05T09:42:00.000-08:00Hi Sonadora!

In fact, I have a post all ready to go about it that I was planning to put up this afternoon. However, I like both styles of zins, but don't tend to like the big zins for my dinner since they take over the meal.Sonadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267916648440750132noreply@blogger.com
