You can spot gnarled, bushy old Zinfandel vines along the byways of many California counties – Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma, San Juaquin, Amador, northern San Luis Obispo (Paso Robles). But the mother lode can be found on the roads lacing Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley. And the tasting rooms along the way are the ideal place to try wines from ancient vines. We’ve mapped a few of the best to get you started.
