One of our favorite Zin's. Couldn't believe you had to write a personal letter to join the club but I did. Make a reservation and ask to taste their Select Trace Cab. More

You have to make a reservation to go to A. Raf. but it's a must if you are a Zin lover. They also make a Cab. and a Merlot, but we think the Zin is outstanding. If you are lucky you might get to talk to David Rafanelli, the father of Shelly the wine maker. He's interesting and can be... More
