Love this juicy, medium-plus-bodied Zinfandel produced by the Frei Brothers Winery. Dry, with dark cherry, crushed raspberry and wild herb flavours finishing long and spicy. Enjoy now with gourmet bison burgers.

Zinfandel food pairings: pizza, pulled pork served with crackling pigskin.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
