wines at zazu
Our kitchen emphasizes ingredients grown within a 50 mile radius of
the restaurant unless a premium product is unavailable to us locally. We
seek to do the
same with our wine list, emphasizing nearby wineries (we
are in the
heart of the Russian River Appelation) so that visitors to the area can
enjoy limited production wines, often impossible to find outside of
Sonoma County. At the
same time, much of our clientele consists of locals involved in the wine
industry. For
them, we keep things interesting by bringing
in a few wines from elsewhere that we feel are stellar within their category
and in their price-to-quality ratio.
We always offer a $5 glass of red and white, a bellini float with our own farm fresh fruit sorbetto, and a tasting flight of pinot noirs.
We also always have a "BLIND WINE" available by the glass or bottle. You and your dining companions can guess the varietal. It’s fun!
