For the Love of Zinfandel: An Essential History (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The below is adapted from a historiography of California Zinfandel that I offered on September 23, 2026 at a seminar entitled “Bold By Nature: A Zinfandel Journey.” My friend and colleague Bill Smith, a Santa Fe-based wine writer, devised this program for the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta to celebrate Zinfandel’s opulence and story, which is still

But team spirit, viral chants (“Ro!”), endearing protagonists, and quality time with family rendered both enriching realities. Federico Vargas owned Venta de Vargas, a 1920s-era Córdoba inn and restaurant, and is credited with creating Spain’s beat-the-heat summer spritz, the Tinto de Verano. (The drink was initially called a Vargas, and often still is.) It’s a c
