TheWiseGuy Here’s where an organization like ZAP can be so effective. By trumpeting the virtues of Zinfandel in its myriad styles and continuing to present both scholarly research and anecdotal experience as to what is happening from bud break to bottling and beyond, and offering hands on experiences for consumers that educate and enhance enjoyment, they equip consumers who are interested in relying on their own preferences with confidence. Given that “wine people” tend to take what they learn and spread it among fellow wine lovers, investing in an organization like ZAP is worth its weight in gold for wineries from a marketing standpoint because it will pay long term dividends that far outreach a big score on a current vintage.
