Welcome to the cellar of Michael Paul Wines

This spot in the wine cellar will cover the Zinfandel wine.
There are links to other sites along with my personal insight
to home brewing your own Zinfandel wine.

Brewing Tips

logoYour choice of fruit or concentrates for making your wine is your decision. I prefer using the grape concentrate made by SunCal in Napa valley. It's pre measured and comes with directions. Just make sure if you use fruit to use fresh or frozen fruit not fruit with any preserves.

For further details on my wines please read the descriptions below and click on each of the links.

Merlot

logo A range of fresh flavors such as plums, cherries, blueberries and blackberries mixed with black pepper tones, typically dominate this smooth red wine. The tannin levels are fairly low and the fruit flavors are typically very forward - making this a prime wine candidate for consumers just "getting into" red wines. Merlot is often used to blend with other varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. By blending Merlot with these wines, a symbiotic relationship can exist. The Cabs are softened, mellowed a bit and the Merlot is better structured and defined.

Lambrusco

logo It's delightfully refreshing, with a sparkle-enlivened bouquet that can vary from fruity with pleasant vinous overtones to floral with hints of violets and heather. On the palate it is zesty, with nice fruit flavors and a clean finish. Since it is relatively acidic, it goes especially well with foods that are oily or contain mayonnaise (grilled sausages, potato salad, etc).

California Red

logo A light-bodied wine that will have fewer tannins present and less presence on the palate. These wines tend to have less demanding after taste with flavor-filled foods.
