Black Chicken

We started drinking wine in 1998 and our house wines retailed at $5 a bottle. Man, those were the days. When we discovered zins, the 7 Deadly Zins became a rapid favorite. As our palates continued to change, however, we found the wine to be too heavy and sweet and being the fickle imbibers we are, we abandoned zinfandels altogether. This dry spell lasted without question for a good five years until recently. E had this wine not too long ago and thought it was the bomb so when she heard that it was on sale at Pete's in Bellevue recently, she raced out to buy a bottle. I am so glad that she did. Zinfandel, let's be friends again, shall we?
