After a 12 year absence, ZAP is finally returning to Seattle! ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates & Producers) produces an enormously popular wine tasting event in San Francisco that annually draws thousands. This year they are also taking the show on the road, doing a smaller version in both Seattle on July 26-27and Portland on July 29th.
ZAP is partnering with Seattle Uncorked and South Seattle College’s Culinary Arts Department to include a “BBQ Cookoff Competition.” Ten future chefs have been selected from the Culinary Arts program, each firing up a grill to create and serve a delicious BBQ appetizer designed to go with Red Zinfandel. The winner of the “People’s Choice” award for what works best with Zin will receive a special prize from the wineries of ZAP!
Washington State has only a few producers of Zinfandel, while this grape flourishes in California and is now being called “America’s Heritage Wine.” “Northwest wine enthusiasts will have the rare opportunity to try over 100 Zinfandels from approximately 40 wineries,” explains ZAP’s Executive Director, Rebecca Robinson, “tasting a rainbow of Zinfandels from a wide variety of regions throughout California.”
