Zero Manipulation


A weekend wine recommendation! I tried a bottle of Peterson Winery's Zero Manipulation a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed! This is a great red table wine (a blend of Carignane 78%, Syrah 14%, Mourvedre 8%) with a lot of complex aromas and a fruit-filled finish. I recommend you try a bottle of Zero Manipulation with pizza, pasta, or any simple meal that you would pair with a red. As one review states, "Peterson Winery’s Zero Manipulation is an annual concoction of Rhone red varietals with the primary grape being the maladroit Carignane. The Zero Manipulation references their philosophy to let the grapes speak for themselves without excessive human or political intervention." At $11.99/bottle during the Surdyk's wine sale (regular retail $14.99), this is what I would call an "in between" wine - definitely complex, but not too fancy - great for entertaining! Your guests who are on the fence about red wine will probably like it too. Pick up a bottle and let me know what you think!
