Then I bring them a taste of 7 deadly Zins, or Opolo and they lose it. Zin has characteristics that occasional wine drinkers generally enjoy, unless they don't like big bold flavor that is. Thanks for ANOTHER fine episode Gary V.!! Zinfandel is fun to talk about at my job because people still think I am trying to push them on white zin, and they want nothing to do with it.

Seems more true to 'real life' than what I've seen elsewhere. Thanks for taking the time to lay out your rating system. Seems more true to 'real life' than what I've seen elsewhere.

Where I may have tried the Frog's Leap zin due to its name recognition, and because it may have proven itself in the past with other wines in its portfolio, such as their sav blanc. Now I know to try other 2 first, as opposed to wasting my money on the Frog's Leap, which is pretty much playing off of its name. Really appreciate those honest reactions. Also goes to show that if a winery makes a good wine out of a certain a varietal, that it doesn't mean all their other wines are good. Whereas, I'd probably go with an esteemed winemaker when picking out a Burgundy, that obviously doesn't apply here, or alot of other places. Something I have to let my guests know quite bit, and remind myself once in a while. Would love to see you do this with a charbono tasting, and see how the different versions stack up. Especially the lesser known wineries turnouts vs. the better known wineries. Good episode Gary. Nice to see how you rate those wines.

So you had an off bottle. It is too bad you could not quantify your initial reaction with a comment about off bottles. Have you tasted since? I haven't missed a vintage since 2000 and they haven't missed a beat. Gary – Frog’s Leap is a great wine. So you had an off bottle.
