Tickets just went on sale for the 16th Annual Zinfandel Advocates & Producers Festival which will take place January 24-27, 2007 at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, California. The event includes a showcase of California Zinfandel wine flights, walk-around wine and food tastings, but the showcase event is the Evening with the Winemakers Benefit Auction and Dinner at The Fairmont Hotel. The reception will include a taste of the 2003 Heritage Vineyard Zinfandel, made by Bill Knuttel of Dry Creek Vineyard, an auction and then dinner. Tickets are $200 for ZAP members and $250 for non-members and must be purchased in advance. The Heritage vineyard is a collection of rare and famous Zinfandel vine cuttings grown throughout California. The Heritage Vineyard Zinfandel therefore represents a sort of quaffable museum and can only be purchased at this event. Other events during the festival cost around $100.
