...when my wife and I started dating in 1980, we had been to Napa and liked Sutter Home's new white zinfandel.

Being the wine connossieuers we thought we were, we'd buy it by the case - it became our house wine.

Then in 1982 right after we were married, I pulled out a 1979 Lytton Springs zinfandel I had been saving.

Best wine ever.

Started me on my California wine trip focused on zins, especially from Dry Creek, and now toward CA and OR pinot noirs.

About the same time we had a Grgich Hills chardonnay that seemed like ambrosia which has focused her on CA chardonnays leading to Ferrari Carano and Rombauer.

Since CA wines are so close and accessible, I have never been much interested in French or European varietals.
