WBW #60 - I have Zinned... and it felt so good
Old Vine Zinfandel (2006)

Zinfandel
Columbia Valley
This month for Wine Blogging Wednesday, the fifth anniversary of the project, we've been "burdened" with the task of drinking Zinfandel. Seeing as this is one of my favorite varieties, I really didn't anticipate any issue. The only problem was choosing what bottle yummy California Zin to choose - then the clouds opened, and it all became clear. Not California... but Oregon Zin!

A modern romance of the white grape variety
Con Class Rueda (2007)Verdejo - a bold, acidic grape reared on the arid plateaus of Spain. Sauvignon Blanc - a flirtatious, aromatic white French variety cultivated in the classiest neighborhoods of Bordeaux. Two star-crossed lovers separated by the Pyrenees and kept apart speaking two different languages of love... that was until "Rueda." Imagine that in big, bright, flashing, neon lights. It would definitely sell. Despite the lack of singing, choreography, and melodrama I'd say we've got the vinous version of West Side Story on our hands here.

While I wait for Broadway and Hollywood to flock to my door to get the exclusive rights, I'll focus more on a yummy new Spanish wine I had the other day - Con Class Rueda produced by Sitios de Bodega.
