Zinfest 2013 Recap
Once again we had a successful Zinfest weekend and we thank all of you who came out to support us and the spirit of Zin! The weather could not have been better and as we all know, great weather can make almost anything blissful. Our patrons were enjoying wine, music and food while sitting out in the sun with friends and family.
We kicked off the festival on Friday night and we had a great crowd and great food! Unfortunately the lead singer of the band had laryngitis but they were still fun and offered to come back and play for us anytime! The crowd was very understanding as well which was really awesome.
This year the weekend was not overly packed as it has been at times in the past, but that is ok because lighter crowds allow for a more personal experience and make you feel as though it is your little secret. The music was great as well, with Sweetwater the Trio playing all the classic old time tunes from Country Western to folk and Rock and Roll. Jim Sweetwater even got his son and daughters on stage for a couple tunes.
In our barrel samples we were pouring Whale Rock Primitivo, Late Harvest Zin and our upcoming Ventinove blend. All of the barrel samples were great but the Ventinove was something special. Keep your eyes peeled for the release of this wine because it is to die for! It had great fruit and was extremely balanced and smooth on the palate. I can’t wait to stash a few bottles!
Thanks again for all the support and please continue to come by and keep the spirit of Zinfest alive for years to come.
Cheers,
Luke
