GRAND TASTING & BBQ!
After a 12-year absence, ZAP is
finally returning to Portland! 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 and
Portland at the World Trade Center's outdoor plaza on July
29th. ZAP is partnering with Portland Uncorked and the
Oregon Culinary Institute to include a “BBQ Cookoff
Competition.” 10 future chefs have been selected from the
Culinary 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! The Northwest 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.” Tickets: $40.00.
