Zinfandel Asian Grilled Pork Ribs |

| Limerick Lane Owner Mike Collins |
Some of the grapes Limerick Lane uses to make its Collins Vineyard Zinfandel (think well-rounded and food-friendly, with aromas and flavors of jam, spice, raspberries and a hint of vanilla) came from vines planted in 1910. Owner Michael Collins purchased the land in 1977 with his brother Tom and friend Ted Markoczy. At first they sold their grapes to nearby wineries, including DeLoach, Ravenswood, Gary Farrell and others, but eventually became inspired to make some wine of their own. In 1986, they produced their first wine, a Sauvignon Blanc. In 1993, they completed their winery; 10 years later, they opened their tasting room. Winemaker Ross Battersby (formerly a safari guide in Africa) joined the company in 1997. The result is a well-rounded wine that sets the tone for a good time.
