The Specialyst Lodi Zinfandel 750ml

In 1947, brothers John and Mario Trinchero traveled to St. Helena, California, near the renowned Napa Valley growing region, and purchased Sutter Home Winery. With its first Sutter Home harvest in 1948, the Trinchero Family crushed three tons of grapes, beginning a long and fruitful history as one of the world's leading producers of fine wines. As the Trinchero family expanded, so too did the company. Mario's son Bob joined the team in 1958, eventually becoming the head winemaker after his uncle John retired. Bob focused on growing his family's efforts, and just 10 years after coming on board, he helped Sutter Home become the first north coast winery to produce commercial wine from Sierra Foothill grapes. He even developed the revolutionary White Zinfandel varietal, which he perfected through innovation, creativity, and a bit of luck in suffering through a "stuck" fermentation in 1975. With the help of his brother Roger, his wife Evalyn, and his sister Vera, Bob was able to capitalize on the growing demand for White Zinfandel and expand Sutter Home even further.
