Celebrate the 4th of July with the “All American” Grape – Zinfandel; and these Dry Creek Events
July 3rd, 2010 | 
Author: Zinfandel is considered ‘the’ American varietal (grape), and has been grown/drunk in the U.S. as far back as 1860.
Zinfandel is grown in many places, with a special focus in California. The styles can vary slightly depending where grown, but many consider Dry Creek Valley the heart of Zinfandel. Dry Creek’s warm weather, and variety of growing conditions, produces a range of wonderful wine.
Many wineries are celebrating this holiday and featuring this All American wine. Here are two (of many) special Zin events in Dry Creek to check out:
All American Zin Day
Saturday July 3, 11:00 – 4:00
A $20 logo glass is your ticket to a great time at five Dry Creek wineries, each serving award winning Zins paired with something tasty. Right when you come into Dry Creek, kick off at Amista, where Baci Cafe will be serving up pizza from their new wood-fired oven – the perfect match with a 2006 Saini Farms Zin. Enjoy their winegarden and then head off to Wilson, Family, Rued and Mazzocco for more fun.
Don’t miss this Zin-tastic start to Independence Day weekend! Purchase your tickets here at the door.
Mounts Family Winery Independence Day Celebration!
July 3rd & 4th 11:00 – 5:00
Also, Mounts has a special case sale on their 2007 Zin, only $150, though July 4th, or until it sells out!
Of course there are MANY great things going on in Sonoma County this weekend; for more ideas check out the Wine Road and Inside Sonoma websites.
Have a GREAT 4th, and of course, CHEERS!

Do they ever do events in the gravel lot shared by Kokomo/Peterson/Amphora/Papapietro-Perry? Seems like it’d be a great place to do something in Dry Creek…
Joe,
Good news!! The wineries you mentioned above do, in fact, have a party once a year. The bad news… you just missed it! We throw one every June and call it the “neighborhood Celebration”. This was our 2nd year doing it and it went pretty well. I think we still need to get the word out more about it and have it be a real block ‘party’!! Maybe we will see you and all your pals next year?
