I feel good, i don't need sports bars, sitting in my hotel room with the police sirens in the foreground, I'm drinking an Estate Zinfandel, Wilson Winery, 2002, Dry Creek Valley, Sawyer Vineyard, in a glass i bought for one dollar in a Goodwill store on polk street, and on this glass is engraved in a stylish font: Healdsburg Lavender Festival. I bought this glass before i tasted this wine, which is the present from Diane. Even no one sees me in my room, I'm dressed up in a classic style for this strong wine, I'm handsome as the devil, as the line of Kevin Costner goes to the boy in the movie *Perfect World*. Again it's funny that the glass and the wine are from the same place by chance. When in California and drinking red wine, if i can, i will opt for Zinfandel. All other wines they grow in Europe, but not Zinfandel. Still this might be the California grape, i guess so, that this is the grape in southern Switzerland they re imported 100 years ago, after a disease killed the local grapes, and is called now: *AMERICANA*. In Switzerland, this Americana grape is not for wine making, but a table grape for eating, small berries, very sweet with a soft skin, a very delicious grape, my favorite grape besides *Muscat De Hambourg* of Provence and the white grape *Chasselas*. All other grapes for eating have no chance to these 3 varieties, all other grapes are in taste boring. A good ripe Chasselas has golden cheeks, most other white grapes are uniformly green, light green, dark green, it doesn't matter what green, but green and never gold. And as plane green they are, they also taste plane boring. Chasselas is a superb tasting grape, and they also look visually appealing, i never understood how people could buy these plain boring white grapes in a uniform green color.
This is good wine, says a man not in a grey flannel suit, this is what it says on the label:our Sawyer Vineyard is located on the bench lands off West Dry Creek Road near Bradford Mountain in the Heart of Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. We are a small family owned and operated winery specializing in hand crafted small lots of carefully selected grapes. Come visit us at our tasting room in our historic facility, one of the oldest bounded wineries in California.
