Phil Your Glass: One True Zin will make you break your dry January resolution
I’m sorry to inform you that this year’s dry January campaign only lasted four days for me. I have myself and a bottle of One True Zin to blame.
It’s not a sweet wine. It’s organic. And it has a screw top. Doesn’t that count for something?
One True Zin is actually made from 100% Primitivo grapes from Italy’s Puglia region.
I’ve tasted this bottle on three occasions. It’s not an over-the-top jammy zinfandel — not too dry and not too sweet. I love the plum and dried cherry notes with a bit of toasted hazelnut aromas.
For $13.99, it’s the perfect pizza, pasta, steak and everyday drinker. A hunk of Grana Padano cheese or spicy prosciutto spread (from the Market District cheese department) on a cracker paired perfectly.
You know it has great acidity when it plays nicely with your tomato and avocado salad dressed with EVOO and balsamic. I couldn’t have been happier with this wine at the main event, a few slices of Farinacci’s sausage and mushroom pizza. I got my pie from the Hudson shop, but they have other locations in Northfield and Brecksville.
Buy this wine at both Mustard Seed Market locations, Krieger’s Health Foods Market in Cuyahoga Falls, Cornerstone Market in Munroe Falls, North End in Hudson, Buehler’s in Canton and Fisher’s on Fulton.
