Three Thieves are the makers of a line of value priced wines that embody the spirit of the old west – specifically the wild and untamed revelry of bandits. Three Thieves makes several different bottlings, including a good value 1.0 liter box wine called Bandit. What has caught my attention is their 2005 Jug Zinfandel. Priced at $9 for the screw-top, 1 liter jug bottle, their deliver a jammy, peppery spiced wine from the heart of California. This is a terrific wine for parties, pizza, hamburgers or anything else that pairs well with a smooth drinking red wine. Winemaker’s Notes and Comments say:
“On a mission to bring the joy of wine to the masses, the Three Thieves headed out for the territory—the Lodi territory that is—famed for producing Zinfandel, the all-American grape. There they found excellent sources for their precious jug o’red. Thief/winemaker Joel Gott then took a little side trip to adjacent Amador County to put a little Gold Country spice into the blend. To keep the snobs away, the wine is bottled in a retro, 1 liter, clear glass jug.”
I’d steal (or buy) that kind of wine any day!
