Tastes like Christmas

Saturday we had tastings with really nice people. The first couple was from LA celebrating a birthday. They clearly were experienced wine drinkers with impressive palates. They enjoyed the wines, became wine club members (thank you!) and interacted with the other family who were tasting with us.

Retired General Charlie Holland, his gracious wife Nancy, brilliant son Justin and good friend Ike arrived shortly after the Packs. Conversations covered military academies, China and the coincidence that Justin and our daughter Meg were in both 2006 grads from Boston colleges. I don't know if their paths ever crossed, but Justin studied at MIT and Meg was at Wellesley so maybe!

While tasting our unique Grenache-Zinfandel blend, ZinG, Justin commented that it tasted like Christmas. Ever sense he came to that conclusion, I confess, I taste the spice of Christmas too! It's not cinnamon or nutmeg, but there is something in the wine that creates a memory of a Christmas cookie. Please go taste your ZinG and help me define what that flavor is. Don't have any ZinG, we can handle that.......visit www.percazocellars.com.
