Wine Tasting At Millburn's Farmers Market
Maplewood's Hank Zona led customers through a number of wines and took a quick swipe at white zinfandel along the way.
There are no wrong answers in wine, except white zinfandel. At least that's what Hank Zona told a crowd of wine enthusiasts at the Millburn Farmers Market Tuesday.
Zona, a Maplewood resident, talked wine—including the differences between white, rose and red—and poured a taste of six different types during the weekly market. He also talked about marketing in wine. Zona runs Swirl Wine Events.
Among the types of wines people tasted were Good Daughter Chardonnay from North Coast, Calif., Casa Rossa Rose from France, Red Table Wine from Vacchiano Vineyards in Warren Hills, Bandit Cabernet Sauvignon from California, PromisQous Red Blend from California and Deep Purple Zinfandel from Lodi, Calif. Vacchiano Farms is also a vendor at the Millburn Market.
