This article seemed appropriate after being on the SXSW diet (booze, booze, and more booze)… and the Zynthesis wine post I just did.  I’ve made the decision to drink rather than eat many a times, but it’s usually because I’m broke and I’d rather spend the money on getting a buzz.

With pressure on young women to drink but also remain slim, many are now swapping dinner for a large glass or two of wine.

Synthesis Wine of the Year:

Zynthesis Old Vine Zinfandel, hailing from the Zyn Zone of Lodi, is the product of 100+ year old vines. These old vines eke out small berries with dense boysenberry and blackberry fruit flavors. Add a smidgen of Syrah for spice, a dollop of Petit Sirah for depth,  and a bit of American Oak for toasty smoke, and you have a wine that embodies the Zynthetic credo:

All for Zyn and Zyn for all!

Vinted and bottled by Zynthesis

Thanks to my friend Erik at BevMo for sending me a bottle. I’ll let you know how it is!
