Trader Joe's 2007 Sonoma County Reserve Zinfandel is ace.

I've been getting into zinfandel a LOT. I can't figure why anyone would prefer merlot or cabernet over zin.

same for pinot noir. also really wonderful, but rarely hear anyone talk about it...

Re: Wine

Been a good weekend for wine.

Fri - nice lighter bodied beaujolais (can't remember the name unfortunately)
Sat - '97 penfolds 389 (cab shiraz) full bodied, good amount of rich, ripe fruit, with plenty of oak & tannin on the finish, though lacking the huge amount of complexity the '96 has.
Sun - '97 & '98 penfolds 389, with the '98 having a bit more complexity.
