Some of the wines I tried this time around in Napa

At V. Sattui I tried their zinfandel, cabernet and port for the first time.  In total, I probably tasted about 12 wines at V.Sattui alone.  I got my tasting money back because I ended up buying 5 bottles of wine: a zin, a port, a madeira, a dry riesling, and two bottles of Gamay Rouge.  I gave away one bottle of Rouge, the port and the zinfandel, and kept the madeira (of course), the riesling, and the other bottle of rouge.  I really wanted to keep the zin, since i discovered it for the first time on this trip...but I felt strongly that Noah and Maya would like it, so I gave it to them instead.  I hope they enjoyed it.

And if I ever use the abbreviation 'zin' in spoken conversation, you have permission to punch me.
