It is a quite Tuesday afternoon in Windsor, my husband
and I are visiting Gamba Vineyards and Winery and sipping truly delicious Old
Vine Zinfandel. I am in love lately with the Russian River Valley Zinfandel wines
and Gamba's Old Vine Zinfandel is my latest and precious discovery. I don't
really know how and why it happens, but I just know instantly when the wine is
great and made for me. There is that certain something I enjoy the most - the strong
allure of the aromas and the silky and smooth texture, full of that old
Zinfandel only spice.
Gamba Vineyards and Winery is a wonderful story of over
six generations of wine grape growing with a belief that wines are made in the
vineyards. Agostino Gamba, with his rare charisma and magnetism of passionate
winemaker, is dedicated to continuing his family's wine grape farming
tradition. He and his wife Paulette skillfully manage the vineyards and winery
with a strong and forward-thinking simplicity of their mission - to grow grapes
and produce delicious wines.
The wines that I am going to serve for
dinner! My husband and I were so impressed with the quality of wines - Gamba
