great bottle of zin

If you know me, you know I love wine and I love exploring new wineries. This past weekend we drove up to Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County and hit up the Bella wine caves. I had a great glass of zinfandel by Preston a few weeks ago in San Francisco at Jardiniere (great food and vibe). Preston is right next to Bella and we had an amazing time. Every red we tasted was quite good. They had homemade sourdough bread with olive oil, olives and even vegetables and herbs from their garden that you could buy. The tasting room was very rural, but the staff was extremely cordial and helpful. Its definitely not a grandiose Robert Mondavi tour experience, but the wine is better. If you’re up in the area, this winery is a must if you love zins!

I recommend the 2005 Preston Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley.
