My wife and I are having a wine club meeting on Sunday. We started it last year after meeting and getting advice from Bill Spohn and his wine group in Vancouver 3 years ago. The theme for this one is Zinfandel. The spending limit is supposed to be $20 but it is loosely observed. I must admit that this is a grape I am not as familiar with. Can someone recommend a knock-your-socks-off Zin within $30 retail? Thanks!

We ended up choosing a bottle of Ridge Lytton Springs 2004 for tomorrow's wine club meeting. We also picked up a bottle of Rombauer Vinyards Zin 2003 for ourselves which is 42% Amador County, 39% Dorado County, and 19% Lake County.

I have not ever tried Rombauer Zin. However, their other wines are excellent. Rombauer does not make a bad wine.
