Bought 4 more bottles. Great wine Lodi does a great job on Zins, I like it better than 7 deadly zins. Just a treat. tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-02-06:15869655 Randy Fuller 2012-02-06T14:29:12Z 2012-02-06T14:29:12Z I agree with you about the wine, Shawn. &nbsp;Also about Andrew Murray as a great winemaker. &nbsp;We're lucky to have him in the Central Coast! tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-02-04:15854367 Wandering Wino http://wandering-wino.com 2012-02-04T19:01:40Z 2012-02-04T19:01:40Z Good stuff Randy! I appreciate the "geeky" stuff! I had this wine the other day. Once this wine opened up, I could not believe how well it's drinking for a 2010! I can only imagine what a couple years will do for this really nice Syrah. Add Andrew Murray, the Syrah/Rhone legend, and 2011 will be fun to see! tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-01-28:15627317 Randy Fuller 2012-01-28T16:15:17Z 2012-01-28T16:15:17Z The pleasure was mine, Roger. tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-01-27:15624345 Roger Higgins http://cimarone.com/ 2012-01-27T16:56:28Z 2012-01-27T16:56:28Z Thanks for taking the time to review our Gran Premio Sangiovese Randy - we're delighted you enjoyed it! tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-01-15:15508356 Randy Fuller 2012-01-15T16:47:53Z 2012-01-15T16:47:53Z Rosenblum makes a chocolate-infused Zinfandel called Desiree. &nbsp;Check it out if you like chocolate and wine together.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=desiree+chocolate+wine&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;tbm=shop&amp;cid=1212442624828328469&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=sQITT8L9LeiLiAKj1aykDQ&amp;ved=0CCoQ8wIwAA">http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=desiree+chocolate+wine&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;tbm=shop&amp;cid=1212442624828328469&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=sQITT8L9LeiLiAKj1aykDQ&amp;ved=0CCoQ8wIwAA</a> tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-01-13:15430546 Chocovine http://www.chocolatewine.com 2012-01-14T05:14:11Z 2012-01-14T05:14:11Z I just had my first ChocoWine this past weekend. I liked it a lot, and so did about 4 of 5 others at the dinner. It had more of a alcohol bite than I expected, but not to an unpleasant level. Our bottle was 14% alcohol. You could just tell it had a bit of a kick. tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-01-11:15278506 Randy Fuller 2012-01-11T23:03:41Z 2012-01-11T23:03:41Z I agree wholeheartedly with your high opinion of Santa Barbara County wines, and I sympathize that you have run out. &nbsp;Hopefully, you'll correct that situation and never let it happen again. &nbsp;Thanks for reading! tag:blog.nowandzin.com,2012-01-11:15277905 Melanie Lane 2012-01-11T20:15:57Z 2012-01-11T20:15:57Z Santa Barbara wines should be featured all over the place. Their pinots are out of this world. Wish I had some more but I ran through the bottles I bought when I was there a few months ago. Such a shame! I'll have to go back and get some more. Aruthur Earl is one of my favorites to go to in Los Olivos. Good selection and I am never disappointed. I really enjoy staying at the Sandman Inn (<a href="http://www.thesandmaninn.com">www.thesandmaninn.com</a>). Downtown Santa Barbara and close to a lot more then just wineries!
