Zinfandel Advocates & Producers pour wines for the public & the trade
28 Zinfandel-producing wineries invite the public and the trade to come taste their wines and meet the winemakers and owners on Thursday, March 3, at Union Station (30 West Pershing Road, KC 64108). The wineries are coming as part of a visit to the market by Zinfandel Advocates & Producers, a non-profit California-based group of Zinfandel producing wineries which also welcomes consumers as ‘advocate’ members. “You’ll learn about the remarkable richness and versatility of Zinfandel,” explains Rebecca Robinson, the Executive Director of ZAP, “and why Zinfandel is considered to be America's Heritage Wine.”
Tne of the unique aspects of this tasting is that wines are poured by the wineries’ winemaker or owner, so by attending you have a chance to get the scoop straight from the winery!
The public is invited to attend from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.; in advance tickets are $45 if you are not a member of ZAP and $35 if you are a member; it’s recommended to buy tickets in advance (at http://www.zinfandel.org/) but there may be some tickets available at the door ($40 for members, $50 for non-members). If you buy a ZAP membership at the door, you can save $5 from the ticket price.
A fully restored landmark, Union Station is one of Kansas City’s most alluring destinations for events. The tastings include tasty tidbits which will bring out the best in Zinfandel.
