I just returned from our Sausalito grocer, Mollie Stone, where I was seduced by a wine label: "The Seven Deadly Zins." You get all 7 for just $18.99. Marketing like that deserves to be rewarded, so I picked up a bottle. This poem appears on the back label:
<<Schulenburg's vines, grabby with GREED.,
Embrace Lodi's soil, to drink and to feed.
Oh Lord, forgive me my zin.
Secure in its strength, weathered with PRIDE,
Standing like soldiers, the forest of Snyde,
Oh Lord, forgive me my zin.
Hearts filled with LUST, oke Maley's trees,
Court Lodi's sun and flirt with its breeze.
Oh Lord, forgive me my zin.
Good Bishofberger did raise some GLUTTONOUS beast,
Vines fattened like turkeys before Thanksgiving feast.
Oh Lord. forgive me my zin.
Who wouldn't be ANGRY, with the vines of Lauchland?
Snubbing all others, right where they stand.
Oh Lord, forgive me my zin.
SLOTHFUL and lazy., Manion's old flock,
Descended from the most selfish of stock,
Oh Lord, forgive me my zin.
Ferrereo's fine ladies, the ENVY of most,
A harem like that, who wouldn't boast?
Oh Lord, forgive me my zin.
With the tilt of a glass, I commit seven zins,
Oh Lord, with your help...I'll do it again.
Seven of Lodi's Best Growers gave their souls to produce this one of a kind sinful blend of seven old vine deadly zins.
Indulge!

I'm very partial to Lodi Zins ~ especially old vine Zins. So I'm really looking forward to sampling this one.
