Zinners were Grinners
Our Big Zin Tasing was a great success with all who came enjoying the selection of wines on hand. For some it was there first time to experience Zinfandel, for others a great opportunity to compare this unique wine from 3 different continents.
All in all... a great night with great company.
Finger food served.
