There was a Zinfandel on the site yesterday – I have one in my order! Not seeing it now.
You got the last of it! ZI rolled into the 2021 Primitivo now which is very similar. The Dry Creek Zin is a whole different deal from a vineyard I was taking care of…

Order in for two Nebbiolo, one Carbonic Nebbiolo, one Negro Amaro, and one Refosco. Looking forward to trying these!
Thanks Mark, hope you like them!
Always interested to see what people can do with Italian grapes in the US. Order in for one each of six different varieties.
Thanks Jeff! I’d like to think that we as a group are doing much better with attending to their nuances than we were 20 years ago…

Every year I take a flyer on a new Beserker Day Winery. The Italian varieties peaked my interest this year, as I’ve always wondered why they weren’t more popular to grow outside of Italy. Excited to try these.
Thanks Jeff, hope you like them, and I have quite a bit to say on that topic!
Hmm, now I’m starting to regret getting both the Zin and the Primitivo, if they’re very similar!
