Note:  As usual the industry big wigs are following our lead.  Food And Wine reviewed the Edmeades zin and named it their #1 zin for under $20 (never mind the fact their article is from 2008 and this review is from mid 2009, I swear they copied us!) .  You can read their take as well as see their other winners here.

Also of note:  If you can’t buy Edmeades at your local grocery or Costco you can buy it directly from them at their website www.edmeades.com.
