I am thrilled to announce the winner of two tickets to ZAP’s 20th Anniversary Grand Zinfandel Tasting, the
biggest Zinfandel tasting in the world each year, and what many feel to be the crown jewel big event of the entire
3 day, 4 event Zinfandel Festival.
Earlier this week, I announced the ticket giveaway contest, writing
To be in consideration for the pair of tickets to the Grand Zinfandel Tasting, name a Mendocino
winery that produced a Coro Zin blend in 2010. Leave your submission as a comment to this post.
Contest entry submissions will be accepted through noon California time, this Thursday, Jan 20,
2011.
I spread the word using facebook and twitter, and received entries from eight folks, and correct qualifying entries
from seven.
For the record, the 11 wineries of Coro Mendocino are Brutocao, Mendocino Vineyards, Fetzer, Golden,
Graziano, McDowell, McFadden, McNab Ridge, Pacific Star, Parducci, and Philo Ridge Vineyards. The 2007
vintage was released on Saturday, June 26, 2010 at the Little River Inn on the Mendocino Coast. Coro
Mendocino wines from all 11 wineries were poured that evening.
When there were only 6 correct entries, I was going to use a die to determine a winner, each die side
representing a contest entrant.

I went looking for my 7 sided die when I received the, just barely in time, 7th correct qualifying entry; but I don’t
have a 7 sided die.
From my son’s room, I did find a set of various energy cards from Pokemon, the card game. I chose 7 different
energy cards, one to represent each contestant, directly from cellophane packaging. The contest instruments of
randomization could not be more fair, more even.
These are the entrants, their qualifying winery, and their energy card:
Robin Miller – Golden Vineyards – Psychic Enrgy Card
Gina Braden – Brutocao Cellars – Lightning Energy Card
Sara Raffel – Fetzer – Darkness Energy Card
Michael McMillan – Graziano – Water Energy Card
Elizabeth McLachlan – Brutocao, McFadden, Parducci – Metal Energy Card
Ian Karch – Pacific Star Winery – Fighting Energy Card
Brendan McGuigan – McFadden – Grass Energy Card
I shuffle cut the cards for ten minutes, chose one at random and it was the Metal Energy Card.

That means Elizabeth McLachlan is the winner of the pair of tickets to ZAP’s Grand Zinfandel Tasting.
Congratulations to Elizabeth, and thanks to everyone who entered and made this a fun contest.
Tickets are still available for purchase to attend the Grand Zinfandel Tasting at Fort Mason in San Francisco on
January 29th. Tickets are not available for all Zinfandel Festival events, having sold out, so I would urge anyone
considering purchase to hurry and do so.
Cheers!

Yesterday, I visited Campovida, home to the wines of the Magnanimus Wine Group, to drop off a package.
While there, even without a walk through the gardens, I was wowed by the serenity and beauty, the magic of the
place…again.
I took a couple of pictures, sort of abstract for being close ups cropping out background information or clues. I
thought of it as a deconstructed view of my visit. Enjoy.

2011 January « John on Wine – a win…
Last week, I gave away two tickets to the Thursday night, January 27, 2011 Good Eats and Zinfandel Pairing
event, kicking off the four event, three day Zinfandel Festival in San Francisco, thrown by ZAP, Zinfandel
Advocates and Producers, each year. The lucky winner was, and is, Nancy Howard Cameron Iannios.
This week, you have a chance to win a pair of tickets to the final event of the Zinfandel Festival, the Grand
Tasting on Saturday, January 29, 2011, 2:00-5:00PM at Ft Mason’s Herbst and Festival Pavilions in San
Francisco. The pair of tickets is valued at $140.
With around 1,000 Zinfandels being poured, learning to spit instead of drink is highly recommended, and
because Zin is a big bold high alcohol content, black pepper spiced fruit bomb of a wine, expect some palate
fatigue.
It is best to plan ahead, figure which dozen or two Zinfandels you want to taste, then follow your plan – allowing
for an extra taste or two to take advantage of wines receiving positive buzz from the crowd. Taste, spit, cleanse
palate with bread, repeat. Stop while still sober. Enjoy.
I decided to focus more on the wines from where I live this year in my writing. Sadly, the only four Mendocino
County wineries pouring their Zinfandels, so far, at this year’s Grand Zinfandel Tasting are: Brutocao, Claudia
Springs, Edmeades, and McNab Ridge. I hope to find wineries from outside the area pouring wines made from
grapes from within the county.
I would love to see more wineries from the county pouring, and bringing along their Coro as well.
This year, ZAP is allowing Zinfandel blends to be poured where the companion grapes are ones found in
traditional field blends, and these wines will be called Heritage blends. Coro Mendocino is kind of a
Mendocentric Heritage, where a participating winery makes a Zin blend, choosing what they feel are the best
grapes for blending from Mendocino County’s vineyards to make the best bottle possible. No two Coro are
alike, winery to winery, vintage to vintage, but they are all stellar.
To be in consideration for the pair of tickets to the Grand Zinfandel Tasting, name a Mendocino winery that
produced a Coro Zin blend in 2010. Leave your submission as a comment to this post. Contest entry
submissions will be accepted through noon California time, this Thursday, Jan 20, 2011. I will randomly pick,
and announce, a winner Thursday afternoon or evening.
Good Luck!

I was contacted by the folks who make sure that Korbel CA Champagne, and Bollinger Champagne, separately
but within a day of each other, about running a piece related to bubbly as we get closer to Valentine’s Day.
Thanks to the marketing folks at Brown-Forman and Terlato Wines, that is exactly what will be happening.
Owing to my commitment to focus on wines from Mendocino County this year, I hope to include a bubbly from
either Roederer Estate in Philo or Rack & Riddle from Hopland too.

thinking ahead about the perfect romantic beverage for Valentine’s Night.

Nancy’s BBQ Cowboy Pizza Topped Herbed Pizza Crust recipe won Nancy a $280 value pair of tickets to the
first night’s event at this year’s Zinfandel Festival.
I hope Nancy and her husband Aris can get some time off and come down for the event; but if they can’t attend,
I know Nancy has many friends in the area, and the tickets will be well used. Congratulations to my loyal reader,
and, far more important to me, my good friend, Nancy Cameron Iannios.
50 Zin producers last year meant over 150 wines, paired with 50 delicious food treats, an incredible kickoff
event. Thanks to Zinfandel Advocates and Producers for making these tickets available for me to give away.
Look out for another contest for another Zinfandel Festival event, where I’ll be giving out another pair of tickets.
You can also visit ZAP’s website for more information or to order Zinfandel Festival event tickets.

Not long ago, I received some sample wines to taste, and I opened a bottle to pair with some pasta I made for
dinner recently.
The wine I opened was the Wine Guerrilla 2009 Coffaro Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley
Sonoma County $40.

Admittedly, my pasta was somewhat pedestrian, but the wine kicked my pasta right in the meatballs. Really
delicious, almost a thick red vine of endless juicy, jammy fruit flavors. Like a trip to Jamba Juice for the best
berry smoothie in memory, this Zinfandel was accessible, had good depth, and was very drinkable. Nice
balanced acid, providing structure for all of the fruit to show, and inviting another taste, and another.

100 plus year old vines, 84% Zinfandel, 16% Petite Sirah; 15% alc; 100% go buy some. It made my pasta far
more enjoyable. Only 145 cases produced.
Wine Guerrilla will be pouring their delicious wines at ZAP’s Zinfandel Festival Grand Tasting, January 29th too!

Yesterday, I wrote about the three day, four event Zinfandel Festival in San Francisco January 27-29, 2011 put
on by ZAP, Zinfandel Advocates & Producers.
ZAP has made a pair of tickets available for me to offer to you for two of the events. First, we will be offering
one pair of $140 tickets (prize value: $280) to Good Eats & Zinfandel Pairing at Herbst Pavilion at Fort Mason
Center in San Francisco Thursday, January 27, 2011 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM.

One winner will receive the pair of tickets. Getting to the event is on you, but for my many readers who live in
northern California, that shouldn’t present any difficulty.
I wrote yesterday about tasting Carol Shelton’s acclaimed Karma Zin and Black Magic Zin paired with Smoked
Elk Loin with Raspberry Compote on a Manchego Cheese Crisp AND Espresso BBQ pulled Pork with
Raspberry Salsa and Point Reyes Blue Cheese on Focaccia Crostini prepared by the chefs from Nectar Wine
Lounge and Restaurant; and imagining at least 49 additional delicious wine and food pairings, each intended to
showcase how well Zinfandel works in the kitchen, all at ZAP’s Good Eats & Zinfandel Pairing event.
I mention Carol Shelton often. I sold her wines for years and developed a “house palate,” I am predisposed to
like what she makes; but liking, or loving, Carol’s wines is easy. Carol was the top award winning winemaker in
the nation over a dozen years, and she is recognized as one of the nation’s best Zinfandel winemakers.
Carol Shelton recently wrote about the ZAP Good Eats & Zinfandel Pairing, “This is the BEST ZAP event—less
crowds, best wines and yummy foods to try, and music to boot!”
I think each of the four events of the Zinfandel Festival are perfect, each different, but each exactly as it should
be. Easily, however, the most enjoyable of the events is Thursday night’s Good Eats & Zinfandel Pairing.
50 wineries will be pouring Zinfandel, and 50 restaurants will be providing food created to pair with Zinfandel;
Chocolate, mushroom, cheese, pork shoulder, pork belly, house made bacon, spicy beeftacos, al Pastor tacos,
and lamb will be featured in some of this year’s dishes.
ZAP has provided the recipe from one of my favorite dishes from last year, Ruth’s Chris Lamb Lollipops drizzled
with a Zinfandel Brown Sauce:
http://johnonwine.com/2011/01/
19/26
2/2/2011
2011 January « John on Wine – a win…
RUTH’S CHRIS LAMB LOLLIPOPS
1 rack Domestic Lamb (yields 7-8 lollipops)
Sea Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
Generously season lamb rack with salt & pepper. Sear both sides of rack on a hot cast iron griddle
or skillet for 2-3 minutes per side. Then place in 350 degree pre- heated oven for approximately 12
minutes for Medium Rare (internal temp of 125). Remove from oven and let rest for about 5
minutes. Then slice between the bones to create individual lollipops. Arrange on serving platter and
generously drizzle with Zinfandel Brown Sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme.
RUTH’S CHRIS ZINFANDEL BROWN SAUCE
Yield: 1 cup
1/2 oz. Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Onion, finely diced
1 Teaspoon Chopped Fresh Garlic
1/2 Teaspoon Whole Black Peppercorns
1 Sprig Fresh Thyme
1/2 Cup of Your Favorite Zinfandel
1 Cup Veal Demi Glaze (available at Whole Foods and other specialty food stores)
Place saucepan on medium/high heat. Add oil to heat, then add chopped onion and garlic. Cook
until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn garlic. Then add black
peppercorns, fresh thyme, and zinfandel. Cook until wine is reduced by 1/2. Add Demi glace and
heat just until it is melted. Remove from heat, strain through cheese cloth. Keep warm until needed.
I hope your appetite has been whetted, and your creative juices are flowing, because here is what you need to
do to win the pair of tickets: visit the ZAP page dedicated to the Good Eats & Zinfandel Pairing event, take a
look at the list of wineries that will be pouring their Zinfandels, but take your time as you take in the foods being
prepared for the event, and follow the link to look at recipes for five of the dishes being served.
Now it is your turn, clicking “Leave a Comment” at the top of this post, leave a recipe for a delicious dish that
will pair well with Zinfandel. Recipe entries will be accepted through noon here in California on next Tuesday,
http://johnonwine.com/2011/01/
20/26
2/2/2011
2011 January « John on Wine – a win…
January 11, 2011. You have one week to enter the contest. The recipe can be inspired by something you have
previously seen or tasted, but the recipe must be original to you – recipes from your grandmother are acceptable,
even recommended, JohnOnWine loves grandma’s cooking. I will look at the entries, and privately assign each a
score from 1 to 10, based on how well I think it would pair with Zinfandel, and how inspired I am to make it
myself. A bonus point will be awarded if you send a picture by email to [email protected], so the highest
score I will give an entry is 11 points.
I will not be posting scores, so don’t be shy about entering your recipe; but I will post the winner’s recipe next
Wednesday, January 12, 2011, and the lucky winner will win the two Good Eats & Zinfandel Pairing tickets.
Tickets need not be won, they are also available for purchase, and this is a very worthwhile event to attend if you
are able.

A year ago, last January, I wrote a decent piece announcing the three day Zinfandel Festival put on each year by
ZAP, Zinfandel Advocates and Producers. Well, the new calendar brings us to the 20th Anniversary edition
of the Grand Zinfandel Tasting.
http://johnonwine.com/2011/01/

2011 January « John on Wine – a win…
The dates of this years Zinfandel Festival, themed 20 Years of Zinspiration, run January 27-29, 2011.
Good Eats and Zinfandel Pairing kicks the Zinfandel Festival off in grand style
Thursday, January 27, 2011, at Ft. Mason’s Herbst Pavilion in San Francisco from 6:00-9:00 PM. At least 50
top Zinfandel producing wineries will pair their most delicious offerings with food created by 50 of the Bay
Area’s top restaurants and purveyors of tasty morsels.
Imagine tasting Carol Shelton’s acclaimed Karma Zin and Black Magic Zin paired with Smoked Elk Loin with
Raspberry Compote on a Manchego Cheese Crisp AND Espresso BBQ pulled Pork with Raspberry Salsa and
Point Reyes Blue Cheese on Focaccia Crostini prepared by the chefs from Nectar Wine Lounge and Restaurant.
Now imagine at least 49 additional delicious wine and food pairings, each intended to showcase how well
Zinfandel works in the kitchen.
This is the ultimate tasting event.
Flights! Stories From The Vineyard at the Westin St. Francis on Friday, January
28, 2011 from 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM is a seated tasting led by top vineyardists and winemakers.
This year, Joel Peterson of Ravenswood will speak about the Old Hill Vineyard, David Gates of Ridge
Vineyards will speak about Lytton Springs Vineyard, Janell Dusi of J Dusi Winery will speak about Dusi
Vineyard, and Steve Tylicki of Steele Wines will speak about DuPratt Vineyard, each leading us on a liquid
tasting of that vineyard. Terroir and blending choices are sure to be touched on as stories are told and passions
shared.
This was the event I learned the most at last year; although sitting for an hour at lunch after Flights! with Joel
Peterson and Morgan Twain-Peterson by pure chance, listening to them share their knowledge, passion, and
experiences, was a special treat for me.
Evening With the Winemeakers Benefit Live Auction and Dinner Friday night,
January 28, 2011 from 5:00 – 10:00 PM at the Westin St. Francis is your chance to play dress up and enjoy a
sumptious meal paired with wines from 27 participating Zinfandel producing wineries.
I have not attended this event, but I have heard that is a wonderful evening for attendees.
Grand Zinfandel Tasting at Herbst and Festival Pavilions, Ft. Mason Center, San
Francisco on Saturday, January 29, 2011 from 2:00 – 5:00 PM, with and extra early hour for ZAP members
only, is the big daddy of Zinfandel tastings. Roughly 200 wineries show up and pour their Zinfandels. With each
winery pouring from one to a dozen Zinfandels, most in the three to five range, there are more Zinfandels to taste
than is humanly possible.

In what will likely be an annual posting, I urge you to attend this event. Zinfandel is California’s wine, which
pretty much makes it America’s wine (written with apologies to Oregon, Washington, Virgina, and Alaskan
wineries not producing quality Zinfandel). The event is as big, as serious while being fun, as the wine itself.
Tickets, and more information, are available through ZAP.
