So, I went down to my office thinking that I had a package, but they messed up the billing with another company with the same name in another state.  However, since I was down in Delaware and on Route 202, I chose to stop into Kreston's Wine and Spirits.  While there, I first went to the Zindfandel section and the label on this caught my eye, almost like it being a beast from the old cartoon 'Inhumanoids.'  Since the alcohol was 14.9%, I decided to give it a try.  Luckily, I happened across two other wines there as well, one of them being one of my all time favorite Zinfandel wines.

This wine is definitely full-bodied and it does have a deeper aspect of chocolate underneath some berries and green peppers.  This wine probably would pair great with something rich in chocolate, but shouldn't go with any types of meat or poultry.  It doesn't have a strong nose, but I do like it.  It creeps up on you like a night-fighter.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
