Lots of replies were posted; thanks for all the info. Most of the replies were from people in California who have a rather obvious advantage when it comes to obtaining Zinfandel (as I understand it, California has more or less a monopoly on Zinfandel production). My problem is that I live in the Boston area (not generally known for its production of fine wines... :-) ). I hope all you California dwellers realize how lucky you are to be able to "drop in" on your favorite vineyard during the weekend. The wine store I usually go to has a pretty good selection, but many of the Zins mentioned in the replies are unknown to New England. So, I have compiled a list of Zins available here. I would appreciate any comments on any that folks out there may have tried. I have included prices so that "dollar-value" judgements may be made. After all, one can expect less from a $4 bottle than a $9 bottle. All prices are for 750ml unless otherwise noted. Listed in order of price. North Coast Cellers no date $3.99 (1.5L) Taylor Calif. Cellers no date $2.99 Willow Creek 1979 $3.49 Cresta Blanca 1979 $3.99 CK Mondavi no date $3.99 Sebastiani 1980 $3.99 Wente Bros 1980 $4.15 Charles Krug 1979 $4.39 Story 1979 $4.49 Fetzer 1982 $4.89 Burgess 1980 $4.99 San Martin 1980 $5.15 Simi 1981 $5.29 Mirassou 1980 $5.49 Sutter Home 1981 $5.69 Mountainside 1979 $5.79 Sebastiani Proprietor's Reserve 1977 $5.79 R Mondavi 1980 $5.99 Davis Bynum 1979 $6.99 White Zinfandels: M.
