Oh, Crap, It’s ZAP

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Don’t get me wrong–I’m not unhappy it’s ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates and Producers) week in San Francisco. I’m just unhappy I didn’t get on the volunteer bandwagon in time and that I’ll be working Saturday during the big tasting.

ZAPThe line-up:
Thursday (tonight) 6-9: Good Eats and Zinfandel Pairing
Fort Mason, where Zinfandel producers and restaurant chefs come together at this “informal dine-around food and wine extravaganza, long touted by guests as a ‘foodies’ dream come true. Savor mouth-watering Zinfandels paired with signature dishes in the spacious setting of the Herbst Pavilion. This glorious bounty is not to be missed.”
tickets $95 for ZAP members, otherwise $125—must be purchased in advance
Friday:Evening with the Winemakers-Benefit Live Auction & Dinner Sadly, this one at the Westin St. Francis Hotel at Union Square is sold out
Saturday: 17th Annual Grand Zinfandel Tasting
Trade & Media 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. (requires special ticket and badge)
NEW! Members Only Entrance Time 1 p.m. - 5 p.m.
General Public 2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Silent Auction 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Walk about two pavillions at Fort Mason, sampling some portion of 260-275 Zinfandels (wow) and spitting as you go, if you want to make it home. Some nibbles will be provided, but I’d advise eating a large breakfast.
$49(ZAP members), $59(non-members), $69 at the door
few tickets available, so don’t wait

Check out the ZAP website for more info and to buy tickets. Pronto.
