Developing a taste pallette

[wondersofwine]

If I could make a suggestion, look for some zinfandels other than Ravenswood to try and see if you like them the same, less, or more than the Ravenswood. Rosenblum makes a number of different zinfandels. You might try Renwood zins. One of the standards for a long time has been Ridge Lytton Springs although they now don't label the Lytton Springs as a zinfandel because it blends several grapes and may not have 75% zinfandel in its composition. Seghesio is another good zin producer (mostly reasonably priced) although 2003 was perhaps not as good as the 2002 which is now difficult to find in stores. I think if you try some other producers, you may come to your own conclusion that there are better wines out there than what you are presently drinking. Maybe not. As others have expressed, it comes down to what you enjoy drinking and you have to be the final judge of that.
