For the August edition of First Friday, we will be pouring the new release of the 2007 Jimsomare Zinfandel. Down the road from the Monte Bello winery is the Jimsomare vineyard. The elevation, exposure, and temperature here is very marginal for zinfandel. It struggles to ripen. When it does, it produces a concentrated spicy briary cold climate zin that is unique and long lived.  The six and a half acre dry farmed zinfandel parcel does not produce enough to send to all ATP members, so we make it available as an optional shipment.

First Friday is a tasting series for Wine Program Members and their guests, to be held the First Friday of every month (save for July). For ATP Members, this event is an opportunity to pick up the optional August shipment, the 2007 Jimsomare Zinfandel. This is an optional shipment for ATP members ONLY.  Other members and guests will be able to purchase as quantities remain.
