Are tickets to wine and food events or destinations amongst the things you put on your list to Santa?
Americans who can't make the trek through European vineyards might want to consider week-end events in the U.S.
In search of a Zin Moment, the 20th Annual Zinfandel Festival in Paso Robles from March 16 to March 18, 2012, will do the trick.
Tickets for the event just went on sale.
Collectors can pick a few things for their cellar during Zin Tasting & Wine Country Auction, "showcasing Zinfandel wines, complimentary gourmet bites, and Wine Country Auction lots" on March 17.
From March 16 to March 18, Visit the Wineries "join more than 150 wineries for a selection of barrel tastings, winemaker dinners, vineyard tours, laid-back barbecues, live music, and more. Many wineries offer a special treat to Zin Tasting ticketholders, so keep your ticket at hand throughout the weekend to take advantage of these special offers. Use the online tour booklet or search by day, winery, and activity to help plan your memorable Zin-filled weekend in Paso Robles Wine Country."
Perfect gift for a merry wine Christmas
