November 4, 2020The “Zinfamous” Grapefather
Say “infamous” with a Z and you know exactly what’s inside the bottle.
You also get a sense of The Grapefather’s well-earned reputation for releasing exceptional wines that make people say things like, “He keeps bringing out new wines that make it harder to pick a favorite!”
Fans have been asking for a Zinfandel, but Nello hasn’t wanted to compete with his popular estate Primitivo—genetically an identical twin grape to Zinfandel. And after all, Primitivo is Italian, and Zinfandel is traditionally Californian. (What would his home-country relatives think!?)
But then he came across a Zinfandel produced from a vineyard at the same high-altitude as his own. A Zin he knew would take well to his own winemaking style. What’s more, it comes from highly respected grower, Chaim Gur-Arieh (the man, the myth, the legend!) of C.G. Di Arie winery.
Two Heads of Family forging an alliance to launch a wine with a fan base waiting and infused with Grapefather sensibilities? It was a deal Nello could not refuse!
He thinks you won’t refuse either. So don’t be alarmed if Zinfamous strikes you as criminally good and despicably delicious. Where other Zins can be merely pleasant, Zinfamous prevails as truly, scandalously and outrageously Grapefather-worthy!
