Daughter and her boyfriend brought this for the old man to try with the oak-grilled burgers she had requested. A very pleasant surprise! Rich berry flavors with an underlayer of spice, it was aged in American oak to give it substantial structure for a Texas wine. As stated before on other threads, we're not big Zin fans at all, but we both enjoyed this one enough that I'll pick up a case at first opportunity.

The burgers were incredible! Fresh Charolais grass-fed steer, ground super-lean, dusted with dry rub and grilled over oak coals. Spent two hours just burning the logs down for the coals. Kept em' goin' and later smoked 8 lbs of babyback ribs for supper. Maison Nicolas Pinot Noir was just right with the pork.

Yeah, I had some telemarketer call with an offer for beach-front property in Feenix or Pheenix or whatever dat place be called...he had a really good deal he was peddlin'....

I know, Texas Zin has gotta be as realistic as Left Coast Bordeaux!

Not any less realistic than Virginia Zin....

Lest you all forget. Again, I think it is fair sipping juice and somewhat food friendly.

Not the best on the market, for sure. But not the worst either.
