I'm pushing 80 years old and have drank a lot of vino in my life, starting with the home made stuff in a mason jar, courtesy of my grandpa (made from concord grapes).. Zinfandel is the one wine that has found its way to the pinnaicle of my wine preferences. They are big tasting wines and that is what I love about them. There are two kinds of zinfandels: Big old good ones and good ole big ones. When President Richard Nixon penetrated the Iron Curtain between the USA and China by being the first president to ever visit china, he took a case of Zinfandel to give to the Big Guy in China. What else??

"Get your date drunk." Ha, ha I love it! Zin for sin! Zinfandel isn't one of my favorite grape varieties - there's an awful lot of really bad Zin out there - but when it is done right, it can be smashing. I've been a fan of Primitivo for 20 years or more, long before it became fashionable. A lot of those Italian wines have a sort of dirty, earthy finish which is quite attractive. Good pizza wine.

One thing I don't like about Primitivo is that they tend to be sweet and have a lot of residual sugar (up to 18g/l). I'm curious if Zinfandel are as sweet or if you can find real dry wines...
@winefolly3 жыл бұрын
I've seen a fair amount of dry Zinfandel and Primitivo wines in my days looking at tech sheets. I'm curious though, which ones have 18 g/L? That's pretty off-dry for this particular wine!
@jicklesjingles81343 жыл бұрын
@@winefolly thanks for your quick reply! I think I wasn't precise enough so I try to clear that up : Concerning the appelation 'Primitivo Di Manduria DOC' and 'Primitivo Di Manduria Riserva DOCG' producers are allowed to make wines with a max. amount of 18g/l residual sugar. I'm not sure if there are any wines that really have that much sugar but many are very off dry. Over 10g is easy to find... While I would define 'dry' as max. 4g/l as it is in many other areas of Italy and countries (e.g. France).

Elderberry wine ruined grape wine for me (as did blackberry wine and blueberry wine), kind of like the way salt water fishing ruined fresh water fishing for me (per the saying 'One man's trophy is another man's bait'). I've been a winemaker since 2005 and I've made all kinds of wines (grape included) and in my opinion Elderberry wine is in a class all by itself (there are dozens of articles on winemaking posted online by gurus who have been making wine for decades who say the same thing). Then Blackberry. Then Blueberry. Then Cherry. Then Pear (the Romans regarded pear wine as their favorite, and there they were in the middle of one of the world's premier grape growing regions). Then apple, fig, tomato, then grape (if you don't believe it, go to some of the winemaker's forums and see how grape wine rates on the preferable wine fruit scale.
