Yet another dog I dragged to the Ocean which was rec. by one of my fav wine shops. Very UN-Zinfandel. No bramble, zinberry or raspberry. All diluted candied cherry and strawberry flavors. Long finish, though, but who wants a long finish with those flavors? Poured mine down the drain. 15%Alc/vol.

"All diluted candied cherry and strawberry flavors..." Whew! Not at all appealing.

I've been stung by trusted wine clerks, too. Must be in cahoots with the drain monster.

Drew,

You are having a rough time of it.

Does that "trusted" wine shop do tastings? If so, best buy only what they pour and you like.

Who produces Sparrow Lane? Never heard of it.
