Sledgehammer 2007

Around $15 at the Monterey Market in Berkeley. Decent Zin for the price, usual zin flavors but very reasonable i.e. not too intense and even paired well with cheese.

Saldo 2008

Minimal labeling but great zin inside; of course and again this is according to my taste i.e. this zinfandel, unlike others, was not tasting tar, gasoline, leather, pepper, skunk and other wonderful flavors usually associated with zins. Found at Whole Foods for over $25.

Zins can be very different from each other; this one is part of the style I like: the "not too zinfandel" one! It is pairing with normal food which is a plus. Under $20 at Good Life grocery in Bernal Heights; a bit pricey but to my personal taste better than any from TJs selection.
