Lodi zin isn't bad.....

Two regions in Calif. that are noted for old vine Zinfandel that are not household names across the country are Lodi and Livermore. Long ago, there were vines planted-Zin vines that have been producing powerful, flavorful grapes for nearly a century. This offering 2007 " Old vine Zin" from Oak Ridge winery is not spectacular and at $ 10.99 , it isn't cheap enough to be a weekday swiller. That said, it lies somehwere between a bargain and a weekend wine-a gray area for sure. We found it to be pretty good but it didn't really impress us as something we would buy more of. Nevertheless, if you find it and want a tast of raisiny-Lodi style Zin, here's your wine. I'll give it 6 swiggs, although at the price it should be a little less. At Shopper's corner.
