In this episode of Wine Oh TV, Monique Soltani gets a history lesson from the "Godfather of Zin", Joel Peterson on California's most famous grape, Zinfandel. For over 40 years, the Sonoma icon has been a trailblazer in American Zinfandel.

Ravenswood got me hooked on Zin more than 20-25 yrs ago! I was born and raised in CA and it was readily available. I wish I could find it more readily in Key West.

Ha! Thanks for watching. Life has beaten me back since this video was posted so I'm probably down a few notches now but I've always had over the top energy! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year! Monique :)

Monique needs to ratchet the enthusiasm back a notch or two... and get some lav mics... otherwise, good show.

[@Haffern]

Fuck me, you should really invest in some wireless microphones.

[@WineOhtv]

Tell me about it! This video is several years old. wireless mics were not in the budget back then. Thanks for watching! Monique :)
