Mick and Amy’s course was a 50/50 mix of spicy chicken wings and curried chicken wings served with a creamy garlic sauce. The wine was a 2007 Seghesio Sonoma Zinfadel.
"Tonight's dinner brought to by Ontario's Poultry Farmers!"The wine was something special – big, dark and powerful. Fruit, pepper and dark chocolate on the nose. The wine had a wonderful mouth-feel that just made you want to have more. The only let down with this wine was it was better on its own that with the chicken wings. Speaking of chicken wings, they were easily up to Mick’s usual standard of excellence.
"A Stunning Zin!"
Here is the group rating for the wine -Mick - 92, Mark - 91, Kathy – 92, Amy - 90, Overall – 91.25
As there were two other couples, I will list their ratings of the wine here as well – Zdenka – 85, Alex – 89, Melanie – 91 and Steve – 87.
There is no LCBO information on this wine so here is the Wine Spectator’s information on it instead –
Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma County 2007
A seductive and vigorous Zinfandel, with smoky black cherry and blueberry aromas and youthful wild berry, sage and cracked pepper flavors that have a lingering finish and zesty tannins. Drink now through 2012. 68,000 cases made. –TF
