My name is Greg and I’ve been with Zenaida for over four years and have been passionate about wine for over 30 years. My colleague, Kenvin, has been with Zenaida for over 14 years and is a Level 2 Somm. We often get asked, “What’s tasting good right now?” or “What’s your favorite?” This is an attempt to answer that.

In December we asked our ship-to members if they would prefer to receive 2 shipments of 8-bottles per year or 3 shipments (2 shipments of 4-bottles and 1 shipment of 8 bottles.) It was split almost 50-50, but the three-shipment schedule edged out as the choice.
