McManis Family Vineyards

At a recent wine tasting event, I learned about McManis Family Vineyards. The charity wine tasting event featured many local Napa and Foothill wineries, including Jeff Runquist's Winery. As I commented back in July, I am a new fan of Jeff Runquist's zinfandel - the Z is excellent and I like the R as well. What I learned was Jeff is a winemaker for McManis Family Vineyards out of Ripon, CA. I understand this is a larger production winery. McManis was not pouring wines, so I have nothing more to post. I will seek out the label and post at a later date. However, if you have tried Jeff Runquist, and enjoyed it as I did, seek McManis - who knows, maybe it will be as good. http://www.mcmanisfamilyvineyards.com/
