Seghesio Sonoma Zin 2007 at Safeway...

24.4.149.23

mkuller

...on the Spectator Top 100 List and rated 93 points (highest they will rate a zin is 95pts).

List price $24 - Safeway is discounting wines over $20 by 30% - takes it down to $16.79 each.

Buy 6 and you get another 10% off - down to $15.12. Not bad.

Bought it today 12/22/08 - not sure how long the -30% sale lasts.

Visiting my local Pavillions store today amidst the Christmas rush I noticed the same sale. I finally got the nerve to purchase a bottle of Girard Artistry Red Wine at 30% off - something I would have not done at their regular price. I hope it is worth it but, whatever...it's Christmas and its one gift to myself as I'm not getting any others.
Tonight it is a bottle of Tablas Creek C�tes de Tablas 2006. Not bad...A Rhone style red.

Any other Zins you can recommend under $20.Thanx and Happy Holidays.
- Some zins that have been good... - mkuller 10:28:11 12/23/08 (2)
  ...in past years, I can recommend you try. I haven't tasted the current releases yet. Costco has a pretty good selection.
  Dasche
  Girard
  Edmeades
  Cline
  Four Vines
  Rosenblum and Ravenswood (some years their $10 vintner's blends, or whatever they call it is ok - most of their other better ones are over $20)
  Rancho Zabaco is widely distributed but I usually don't care much for it.

      ...has at least 3 vinyard designated wines that are more expensive and much better than their Old Vines. I think I saw their Big Break at Costco recently.
      
      Rosenblum has about 20 different vinyard designated wines and some are better than others - most are over $20. Hendry is one of my favorites.
      
      Ravenswood has disappointed me in the past few years but I think I've seen some good reviews of their current releases. When I'm back East and the zin pickings are slim, I usally opt for their Vintners Blend.
