Wine Asylum

Posted by Ran on September 29, 2000 at 12:21:04:

i just drank a Zin (very little was left so my wife and I shared it) and then we opened a stern Cab. i like wine a bit younger than most people btw. Anyway I was interested in trying to mix the two. Anyone ever tried this... I know most of us are probably familiar with other mixes like Cab plus cab franc plus merlot = bordeaux etc. etc.

what about this zin cab? i am talking of $20 to $25 bottles like maybe a ravenswood sonoma zin with a equally good cab.

oh, btw, feel free to criticise in any way. I am actually interested in real opinions even if it just says YUCK!!!
