Opolo 2006 Summit Creek Zinfandel
Not only was it a wonderful WINO weekend, it was a weekend with my sisters! (Okay, one sister enjoys the wine, the other sticks to beer!) Regardless, we sipped a fantastic Zinfandel by a lake in West Des Moines, Iowa, and we are excited to share the recommendation.
It was a warm and beautiful Midwestern afternoon, so my sister and I headed to Gateway Market to sit outside and enjoy some food and wine. Upon entering the cool (and actually chic) market, I quickly spotted one of my favorite wines from Paso Robles. LTV Husband and I visited Opolo Vineyards several years back, so I was excited to share the find with my sister.
The wine is absolutely wonderful. We tasted flavorful black cherry and smooth spices. The wine was drinkable immediately after opening, so decanting is not necessary. Flavors were great at room temperature, and tasted great with or without food. It was easy to drink, and we had no trouble finishing the bottle. (We even shared it with the guy working the wine bar, he liked it too!) It was reasonably priced at $24, which makes it both affordable and delicious.
So, if you ever find yourself in West Des Moines, head over to Gateway Market, grab a bottle of Opolo Zinfandel and eat the amazing burger in the cafe! Bon appetit!
Just trying to squeeze in some television between mothering, working and crashing.
I am “the sister” and completely agree. I, however, opted for the grown up grilled cheese to accompany the zin, which was equally delicious.
