Randle Johnson is newly retired from an illustrious decades-long career at Artezin and has now jumped in with both feet to make Zinfandel at his own winery Calafia Wines, now its 41st year, joining ZAP as our latest member. Which means, Randle is producing a Calafia Zinfandel! A rite of passage for Zinfandel producers has been pouring at ZinEX and Randle can’t wait. As the lucky winning bidder of this package, you’ll have an all-access pass to join this premiere. By 2022, ZAP is optimistic ZinEX will be back up and running—live and in person. Your celebration of the senses will include VIP access to the entire ZinEX event line-up, including Opening Night Dining. And, you and 5 friends will be Randle’s guests for a special private welcome toast, taking place prior to the Winemakers Reception. Dinner and the live auction follows. May we recommend sitting at the Calafia table, where a selection of special Zinfandels will be opened? On Saturday, prior to the Grand Tasting, get your day started the right way when you join Randle for breakfast. Then, it’s off to the Grand Tasting for a full day of leisurely tasting, strolling, meeting winemakers and hitting the Heritage Lounge. To compliment this exclusive package, you’ll become a member of the Calafia Jester’s Club for an entire year with 2 shipments, each filled with allocated wines. And, to jump start this monumental mirth and merriment, visit Randle and his wife, MaryLee at their home in St. Helena for an informal private garden tasting to either make ZinEX plans or revisit the laughter and fun. It’s the ultimate way to bring in the New Year!
