First stop ZD wines.
Note one of the first bottles made on the right and on the left more recent bottle labeling. |
Bottles from their own private wine seller. We tasted our first white wine in the cool temperature cellar. |
It is amazing how even the barrel and the kind of wood it is made from affects the flavor of a wine. Fascinating. |
All of their aging barrels were newer. And I cannot recall what she said about the metal aging barrels. I believe those are chardonnay's aging in the metal barrels. |
Lovely Cabernet Reserve that we enjoyed! |
The story goes that they made Pinot's for Norman and what he didn't drink, they sold. | A lovely tasting of Norman's Pinot. |
Grapes fermenting in the vats. I wouldn't want to fall in there. |
Striking a pose on the cat walk. |
Beautiful roses in the vineyard |
Vineyards surrounding the winery. |
What a wonderful view. |
And in case you were wondering if ZD stood for the names of the founders- well it does, but since they were aeronautical engineers it also stands for Zero Defects. |
