Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel
So, how can I wrap this up cleanly? Not an easy task after running around the world in search of great values for you. It’s tough to follow up the Petite Sirah, and I should probably stop while I’m ahead, but here goes. If you feel like circling back to the beginning and closing the loop with a popularly styled jammy wine, look no further than this super-affordable Zinfandel. Actually, this is a pretty good choice to end with as it turns out, since variety is the spice of life, and this Zin might actually be better suited to barbecue and the like. Let’s revel in all the value wines out there these days. Who knew you could drink so well for under $10? Now we all do!

I bought a case of Evodia 2009 Old Vines Garnacha at Costco recently, having been astonished at the quality of the bottle I picked up out of curiosity for $7! Spanish, 100 yr old vines, "custom cuvee for Eric Solomon." My only complaint is the 15% alc-- that astonished me, as I would never have guessed it from tasting it, and usually I'm pretty sensitive to high alc. content. This has none of the "hot" quality I've disliked in some high alc. wines. Then again, I've read about the undependability of those percentages-- maybe this is more like 13%, which would have been my guess. Totally delish, anyhow.

While I'll skip the jam wine....I will look for the others! I, too, have had only the Gnarly Head...not a bad wine :)
Thanks!
