If you’re a zin-fanatic strapped for cash, you’ve tapped into a wealth of wine within reach — $20 and under. Most of the zins listed below will be poured at this Saturday’s ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates & Producers) Tasting. These top-ranking zins were culled from my ZAP Preview blind tasting, which reeled in 300-plus bottles. These tasty zins make it possible to be prudent, yet pamper your palate at the same time. And for those with a joie de vie, these zins make great everyday wines, allowing you to uncork a bottle daily with dinner.
