Nice Zin from Sonoma for under $15 at the Wine House (SF). Unlike other zins, this one pairs very well with all kind of food and is pleasant by itself as well.
Renwood winery is offering a selection of Zins from low $10 to over $30. This one is under $20 and is very good. I recommend it.
2009 Cabernet Franc from Paso Robles with an interesting label; the wine itself has nothing very exciting.
Rare Czech wine for us at the other end of the Zins.
This 2007 Zinfandel from Lodi can be found at the Berkeley Bowl for $12 and is worth it. The almost 15 degres of alcohol are not really noticeable and the typical Zin flavor not overpowering...just as I like Zins!
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.
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.
