Zinfandel Advocates & Producers (ZAP) is visiting Seattle on July 26-27; ZAP last visited Seattle in 1997. Forty Zinfandel wineries will be conducting tastings for the public and the trade.

“Tasters will taste a rainbow of Zinfandels, from growing regions all over California,” explains ZAP’s Executive Director, Rebecca Robinson. “A friendly touch we specialize in at these tastings is that the attendees will meet the winemakers and winery owners, thus insuring that their questions will be answered from the ‘horse’s mouth,’” she adds. “In both of these cities it will be an opportunity to learn why Zinfandel attracts such a great following—people will be able to taste award-winning Zinfandels, mingle with winemakers and winery owners, learn about the richness & versatility of Zinfandel, discover why Zinfandel is called America’s Heritage Wine and sample incredible BBQ from culinary students,” she explains.

The public is invited on Sunday, July 26: 4:00 – 7:00 p.m., Zin & BBQ in the Park in The Gardens at South Seattle College’s Arboretum, 6000 16th Avenue SW, Seattle (98106-1499, 206-764-5300 ). ZAP is partnering with South Seattle College – Culinary Arts Department and Seattle Uncorked. Tickets cost $40 for the public and $35 for ZAP members.
