Hump Day: My Kinda Zin

As I mentioned on Monday, we had an awesome wine with our dinner at Maverick last Friday.  As soon as I tasted it I said aloud, "Now this is my kinda Zin!"  The 2007 Ridge Vineyards "Lytton Springs" Dry Creek Zinfandel is full bodied, tasting of dark fruits, spice and a hint of vanilla.  It's super smooth and oaky with a beautiful finish.  I have been told before that "my kinda Zins" can often be found in the Dry Creek Valley and this was just another confirmation that that is what I should look for when reading a wine list. And it's on special right now at Maverick!  Run, don't walk.  It's only $11/glass and $45/bottle, which is pretty decently priced by SF standards for this amazing wine.
