‘Itinerary of tastings’ by June Wormsley

…We visited another eight wineries on Sunday, including one that was not participating in Passport this year. Nalle Winery is operated by son Andrew, father and husband Doug and wife and mother Lee. Their wines appeal to everyone in the group and we all purchase here. They produce only 2,000 cases total each year including pinot noir, sauvignon blanc and zinfandel (their original wine). I fell in love with their zin after a friend sent me three bottles.

I bought the 2004 Reserve Zinfandel. I plan to put it away for two years; it will be so much better – and it will be a wonderful reminder of a great weekend in 2007.
