ZD Wines 50th Anniversary
$500ZD Wines 50th Anniversary Collection (2018)
The 2018 vintage marked ZD Wines' 50th anniversary, an incredible milestone for a small, family-owned winery committed to producing world-class wines of the highest quality. Mother Nature fulfilled our expectations for this momentous vintage by rewarding us with an outstanding growing season that has led to some amazing wines, including:
- ZD Wines 50th Anniversary Pinot Noir - With a beautiful dark ruby color, the Pinot Noir has aromas of ripe strawberries and briary black cherry interspersed with hints of vanilla, cedar, and rhubarb. The subtle oak nuances integrate perfectly with the bright fruit, balanced acidity, and silky tannins. This wine is drinking beautifully now, but will also age gracefully in your cellar. 120 barrels were produced.
- ZD Wines 50th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley - The wine has a deep, complex aroma of ripe dark berries, cassis, plum, and baking spices, with hints of toasty vanilla, clove, and cola. The palate is loaded with forward dark fruits and silky, round tannins that help keep the layers of flavor present through the incredibly long finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking beautifully right now and will continue to develop complexity for many years to come.
- ZD Wines 50th Anniversary Chardonnay - This wine is bursting with aromas of ripe pineapple, apricot and orange blossom. Subtle hints of sweet vanilla, pear, and honey add to the incredibly complex aromas. Full bodied and rich on the palate, the wine is flavored with the ripe, tropical fruit and toasted oak
that integrate nicely with the balanced acidity. This wine is drinking beautifully now and will continue to develop complexity for some time.

This 2-CD Set Data Lords (2020) is by Maria Schneider, who now resides in New York City, but called Minnesota home as a child. Maria is a Pulitzer Prize Finalist, winner of two GRAMMY Awards, named Jazz Album of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association and NPR, and winner of France's prestigious Grand Prix de l'Académie du Jazz, has melded her advocacy and art: Nate Chinen of NPR writes: "Now it's finally here, in the form of a magnificent double album, Data Lords. . . it parses into thematic halves, "The Digital World" and, as an antidote, "The Natural World." On the whole and in the details, it amounts to the most daring work of Schneider's career, which sets the bar imposingly high. This is music of extravagant mastery, and it comes imbued with a spirit of risk."
Maria Schneider's music has been hailed by critics as "evocative, majestic, magical, heart-stoppingly gorgeous, imaginative, revelatory, riveting, daring, and beyond categorization." Blurring the lines between genres, her varied commissioners stretch from Jazz at Lincoln Center, to The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, to the American Dance Festival, and include collaboration with David Bowie. She is among a small few to receive GRAMMYS in multiple genres, having received the award in jazz and classical, as well as for her work with David Bowie.
Schneider's many honors also include: 14 GRAMMY-nominations, 7 GRAMMY Awards, numerous Jazz Journalists Association awards, DOWNBEAT and JAZZTIMES Critics and Readers Polls awards, an honorary doctorate from her alma mater, the University of Minnesota, ASCAP's esteemed Concert Music Award (2014), the nation's highest honor in jazz, "NEA Jazz Master" (2019) (NEA Jazz Master Speech found here), and election into the 2020 American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
