About Zeppelin Winery
“Zeppelin Winery is a very small producer of super premium wines, based on the Central Coast of California. Founded in 2009 by winemaker Stillman Brown of Red Zeppelin Winery and wine veteran Dan Lewis (he’s the office guy) they produce tiny lots of Syrah and other misunderstood varietals, with almost invariably insane labels. Most can only be purchased directly, but once in a while they emerge into the light of day.”

First Rule of Wine Club

TASTING… NOTES?:
Constructo - “Now I must tell you, dear Cluster Mates, that I do not do blending trials: I kinda sorta have my wines memorized, and so Constructo-ively assemble them to my taste. This example is in the space between the Head Zeppelin of ‘16, which was roughly 2-1 Alicante/Syrah, and my infamously good enough La Mort Du Roi, that I make perhaps two years out of five or six (almost always over 3/4s Syrah). The label says 4% Petite Sirah, which is correct, but the AB and SY percentages add up to 91, which might lead you to wonder what the last 5% is? Well, it’s Syrah. (This is my punishment for even daring to visit the grave of John von Neumann four or six months ago.) But I didn’t make a mistake with the wine.“ (AbV 16.2%, TA 6.8 g/L)

Petite Sirah - “Neither the wolverine-sauce tannic Godzilla Only Knows style of yesteryear - okay, 1977 - nor the "are you sure this isn’t Modesto Merlot/goes down saponaceously slick, though style of suspicious wine bars, this wine has a 200 point - well, grit - rating from Sandpaper Spectator, making it . . . Oh, never mind that. The vineyard’s altitude (over 3000’) and slightly eastern exposure make for a late pick - evening in October, with black plum syrup and spicy forest gloom. (That’s what the vineyard owner calls it, and offers to fight with scoffers.)“ (AbV 15.2%, TA 6.3 g/L)

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
First rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. Second rule is you do not talk about Fight Club. Third rule is if someone says stop, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule is only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule is only one fight at a time. Sixth rule is no shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule is fights will go on as long as they have to. Eighth rule is if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight. Any questions?

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
I’m sure they’d recommend something, but the hell do I know what it would be.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Homemade soap.
