2006 Quivira Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
Atlanta has a new fabulous restaurant – Miller Union! They’re all about chef and local farmer partnerships and preparing dishes around the weekly harvest. Sustainability is key, and the food is absolutely fabulous. Naturally, they have some excellent wines to match their ethos. One of these wines is Quivira’s Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg, California.
According to the Quivira Twitter page, Quivira is a family-owned organic & Biodynamically farmed winery specializing in Sauvingon Blanc, Zinfandel and Rhone varietals.
Definitely take some time to check out the Quivira website. First of all, the design is stellar and the writing just pulls you in to the magical world that is their farm and vineyards. They have some great information about their biodynamic farming techniques, as well as the history of the winery – even a great section about their farm animals! They also have a wine club that delivers twice a year, which is probably the best way to buy these wines retail unless you live down the street… they’re not exactly easy to find.
