I've tried White Zinfadel and have not been impressed. I usually drink reds but am not familiar with California wines. Is there a red Zinfadel that is not sweet?
Price Range $10-$20

Yes, "Zinfadel" is a type of grape used to make wine.

white zinfandel is bottom barrel wine. red zin is very good. a great one to try is rancho zabaco. the price is reasonable and it pairs great with food or alone. also, consider trying a shiraz, also called a syrah. not as sweet as a pinot noir, but shows lots of fruit.

Well I don't believe there is a wine that contains such a grape, but I can recommend the best Zinfandel I have ever tried and this brand of wine would be Beringer, it's not a red wine it is a blush zinfandel, you could try this wine if you haven't already. Good Luck !

Try the Old Vine Bogel Zin from the Bogel winery in California. Costs about $10-11 a bottle. A darn good wine for that price and you can generally find it in most liquor stores.

Virtually all red zinfandels are dry - not sweet. Ridge, Ravenswood and and Rosenblum are widely available at your price point. Also look for Bogle Old Vines, Carlyle and Biale. If you can find any Turley, jump at the opportunity.

yes there is a wine varietal called simply Zinfandel. it is in the reds at your local wine purveyor. its slightly sweeter (much fruitier) than most red wines. tends to go well with BBQ, Spicy foods (like Mexican or Cajun) or burgers. you can find several different brands in the price range you list. go to the place where you buy your wine and ask the department manager to recommend something or point out what they have in that varietal.

Of course there is. Try a New York wine whilst you're at it. Widmer does a pretty good job. BTW - I've developed a rather combative one I call a Scarlet Zinfandel! lol...

I think Cline Zinfandel is a nice choice in that price range. If you like those, if you haven't already, try some Spoanish reds. I think they have similar properties. My favorite is Marques de Rascal Rioja.

I second the Cline Winery suggestion. It is fruity but not sweet. A few of their wines are from old vines so they have a lot of character in the finished product.
