2g

There are times when you are looking forward to a glass of wine at the end of a busy hectic work day.  I had one of those days and I wanted something different.  I decided to try my luck at a bottle of Zinfandel.  I was under whelmed this day.

I rated the 2011 Thumbprint Cellars Zinfandel.  I tried the wine over a few days hoping it would soften. Unfortunately it did not.

Life is too short to drink crappy wine!  Expand your palate and keep trying.
