If Wine Had Personality - Zinfandel

ZINFANDEL

Personality: Thick and jammy, like blackberries simmering.

Origin: Croatia, though virtually all of the top zinfandels are now grown in northern California.

Aroma, flavor, and texture: Like a big boysenberry pie with vanilla ice cream – full bodied, mouth filling, and flannel soft.

Cost: $12 to $30.

Try it with: Meat loaf, barbecued ribs, burgers, bean and vegetable casseroles, or pot roast. Open a bottle with Chipotle Barbecue Burgers with Slaw.
