Naming a Zinfandel

Surely "Original Zin" has been done.

What about "Rin Tin Zin" - a real dog of a wine !!!

st.h

My favorite was "A Critique of Pure Riesling". :-D

I know a winemaker with the handle "Zinful", and another one who goes by "Zinthia".

And a Zin drinker whose uses Zinfanatic

I just dreamed one up: Zinphonic

I am wondering why no one did a 2000 vintage Zinfandel called "Two ThouZin"

If we make one up, and someone uses it, can we get royalties? Or a couple of cases?

Are there zingle vineyard bottlings of any of these?

Hello All, Again. I dont get around the computer to much anymore due to work, and family, and building a house with... guess what... A wine cellar! It will be very modest (6'5" D X 5'1" W X 8' H) and I still am trying to decide between WhisperKool 3000 and Breezeaire WKE-3000. The unit will exhaust into the garage (insulated with some ducted a/c, so I am interested in opinions). I live in Northeast Texas, and it have finally broken the 100 degree mark (after a month of rain that held up the pouring of the slab.)

But, back to the subject, Alison and I were on a 7 day cruise for our 2nd year anniversary, and found a few paintings that were wine inspired. So we bought one, titled Seven Deadly Zins. Here is a picture

Well, on a trip back from Austin, Texas we stopped at Fat Dog's Liquors and found a bottle of Seven Deadly Zins. We bought a case of the 2001, but have not had any yet..

You got the best painting of the group and the best wine. The Zin is very good but the Chardonnay is hardly worth the tasting effort.

wine/drinking

We are waiting to open the wine when the painting gets here. We have a perfect place for the painting, just no walls yet.

Item 5 on the above page explains why the original label on de Sade Champagne was banned in the US. This Champagne now has a much less suggestive label that can easily be found on Google, but I did not find the original label. It shows a very young nude girl being whipped. Other information I found indicates that the de Sade family has owned property in Champage. However the de Sade Champagne is now made by a firm that does not include members of the de Sade family. However the firm obtained approval of the de Sade family for selling Champagne under that label.

It is no surprise that the ATF would ban this wine. I think all the members of their organization that review wine labels are past movie censors. Several California wineries have had major go arounds with them over female bodies. I believe the also rejected one of the Mouton art labels and Mouton produced a US only label. And then there is Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon who is always testing the limits of what he can get them to accept on a label. ( I urge anyone not familiar with Grahm to visit the Bonny Doon web site and enjoy his craziness )
