 | It was a dark and stormy night... well afternoon actually, and not really so stormy, just a wonderfully dramatic sky...when SF Chronicle photographer Craig Lee snapped this picture of Fred. And you could have knocked Fred over with a feather when he opened the Chronicle on January 18th to see his color photo gracing the front page of the Wine section atop the story titled “Zins sweet spot: Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley may be the key to Zinfandel’s future” which included quotes from Fred on Zins in the Dry Creek Valley. |
SF Chronicle's Wine of the Week: Peterson’s 2004 Zinfandel, Tradizionale!
"Fred Peterson makes Zinfandels in a fashion that is increasingly rare nowadays ..., they're often called claret-style. This is a field blend from a dry-farmed Prohibition-era vineyard, filled with tobacco and leather aromas, plus elegant black fruit and dried cranberries.” If you haven’t tried this beauty yet, now’s the time. Click here to order yours today ($25/bottle) or call us at 707-431-7568.
And in addition to all of that, the San Francisco Chronicle gave the Tradizionale a three-star "Excellent" rating in a recent Zinfandel tasting.
