Price Paid: $26.99

We were seeing an old friend and meeting a new friend for the first time.  My wife recently shared with our newlywed guests that we started the Winelife365.com blog.  So I really wanted to impress them with a wine that would blow their minds and make it appear like I know a little something about the topics I’ve been discussing in this forum.

I knew ahead of time that we were going to order Italian take-out from a great local place, so I didn’t have to give it much thought to know exactly what red wine I wanted to share with our guests.  Last year, I tasted the 2005 Earthquake Zin at the Nantucket Wine Festival and remembered how awesome it was. Unfortunately, my local wine merchant was all out of the 2005 vintage so I took a chance on the 2006 Earthquake hoping that it would be just as powerful as the 2005 version that I remembered.

The look on everyone’s faces at the dinner table said it all.  The 2006 Earthquake Zinfandel rocked!  All four of us were floored by this delicious and powerful California Zin.  Prior to tasting this particular red Zinfandel, my wife and our guests said that they had never been huge fans of California red Zins, but this one blew their socks off.  You know when people look at a wine bottle’s label more than ten times while drinking it that they don’t want to forget what’s knocking them over the head.

I’ll give the 2006 Earthquake Zinfandel 4 Stars based on our facial expressions alone.  The four of us really enjoyed this wine a lot.  I highly recommend the 2006 Earthquake Zinfandel – especially if you’ve never tasted a California red Zin that has rocked your world!
