I confess! I am a great fan of Californian wines, especially good Zinfandels! A good red Zinfandel can be a superb marriage of huge depth of flavour, balanced tannins and buckets of ripe fruit – and to my mind California produces the best – but avoid the pink, blush Zins which to my mind are insipid.
My hunt for a good Zin led me some years ago to Frogs Leap winery – and I recall an excellent trade tasting some years ago in Manchester – friendly people and great wines. Hence I would be so tempted to attend Robersons tasting in West London on 9 June 2010:
Since its inception in 1981, Frog’s Leap has established itself as one of California’s leading wineries, making superb white and red wines that are among the Napa Valley’s best. We are absolutely delighted to welcome Jonah Beer from Frog’s Leap, who will talk us through a selection of their potfolio, including the iconic Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.
The guys at Frog’s are some of the best in the business and this promises to be a fabulous tasting for anyone that is interested in New World wines and California inparticular. Having met Jonah before we can promise you that this will be an evening full of laughs and great wine.
And Frogs Leap do produce equally good Sauvingon Blanc. Chardonnay, Merlot etc. And they have a great website – entertaining but also really informative.
