Ravenswood Winery

This is a great place that boast, “No Wimpy Wines”
I guess as long as the winery has been here or maybe for as long as anybody cares to remember, this has been the credo (calling card? Battle cry? Team yell? Coat of arms?) of Ravenswood Winery. This tag line really Expresses their commitment to full-flavored varietal wine — notably Zinfandel. I think this is why I fell in love with the wines and Cathleen who is the wine club manager. You can call her directly at 1-866-568-3946 and she can hook you up. She is also the traveling face of the winery. No wimpy wines sums up their mission to capture everything a vineyard has to offer, and to promote it in a way that won't put people to sleep. Wine is, after all, one of the most fascinating and fun things in life, right? They are friendly and very accommodating with a wide selection of great taste. I actually stepped out of my red zone and tried the 2007 Moscato which was really good. Usually they charge $15 for taste of all the wines they make, which can be more than 10, and you get to keep the glass. It’s a fun time and the tasting room is very inviting. They ship and give you a free gift if you sign up to get on there mailing list. It’s worth it.
