It’s time for my Thanksgiving Day Special! In this episode I bought three wines from California producer Turley Wine Cellars. I have a fun selection of three wines. Their 2023 Turley Zinfandel Rosé aka White Zin, the 2022 Turley “Bechtold Vineyard” Cinsault, and finally the 2022 Turley “Juvenile” Zinfandel. While the Juvenile should be pretty easy the find, the other two might present a challenge.
