Zinfandel

[jmcginley1]

I second the recomendation of the "Ridge Lytton Springs" Zin. Year after year, this is killer juice. Zinfandel is truely a unique grape. I love it, and it goes wonderfully with the peppercorn-encrusted steaks I am often grilling during these warm summer days.

A word of warning. Stay away from the white Zins. They are typically sweet, poorly made wines. the red zin is the powerhouse you want to be looking for.
