Blossom Hill White Zinfandel

I don’t intend on writing many opinions in the food and drink section, but the times when I dabble there I hope to recommend a few of my favourite treats. This wine is my favourite and comes highly recommended. In fact, as I am writing this I am doing the sniff and spit routine of testing wine (ok, I don’t spit, I swallow – no rude comments please!). I like all of Blossom Hill’s wines – they all seem rather too easy to consume and thus, a bottle is empty before you know it! Unfortunately I couldn’t find much information about the Blossom Hill Winery – ... more

To be honest, I don't really enjoy the taste of alcohol. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having a drink and the feeling of being drunk, but I am very limited to what I can drink and actually enjoy. This wine is by far my favourite and I would highly recommend it to people, even people that don't particularly like wine!

Blossom Hill White Zinfandel Blossom Hill is a wine producing company from California and it was in the USA that I first tried this wine. EMBARRASSING DISCOVERY We were in Yellowstone and I picked this wine from the wine list expecting a white wine. They brought me this rose wine and so I called the waiter back and said that I had asked for the white Zinfandel and he very sweetly explained that this was indeed the White Zinfandel and it is a pink wine!

Just to clarify the situation, before I launch into the opinion, I asked Ciao to add a category for “Stowells White Zinfandel” but they’ve added the Blossom Hill variety instead. Having regularly drunk (yes, I’m regularly drunk!) both varieties I will refer to both in this opinion but it is chiefly about the Stowells variety. Well, small details aside, let’s get on with it! I confess to being a “born again” wine lover! Back in my teens and twenties I was a stout, bitter, vodka and lager drinker (not all mixed together!) but since about a year ago come Christmas I’ve become addicted to the joys ... more
