Maybe it's the dislike of tannins

But I doubt it.

Bought a bottle of Zinfandel (Ernest and Julio Gallo 2002) to replicate the nice one I had last friday.

A pity. I think the Zinfandel (on offer now at Carrefour) is over the hill. Mum mixed a little into pineapple juice (canned variety). Not too bad. Perhaps can be used for punches and sangria. Acidic.

Yet to try my first Napa Valley wine (muahahaha), White Zinfandel (Beringer 2004). Sitting pretty right now at home. I bet it's tasty. =)
