Wine Spectator Wine Experience New York City
Chef Emeril Lagasse selected Gamba as his wine of choice this year for pairing at the Wine Spectator’s
2009 “Four Chefs” food and wine pairing event at the New York Wine Experience.
We were honored and thrilled to be part of this event with such a jaw dropping, talented line up of super star chefs.
The event was a great success for the Wine Spectator, and our hats off to the four chefs, the food creations and pairings were all outstanding.
It was great fun to be a part of the capacity crowd of 1200 participants!
Thank you to Chef Emeril Lagasse, Chef Mario Batali, Chef Charlie Trotter, Chef Wolfgang Puck and The Wine Spectator
for such an entertaining and educational event.

GambaZin
We have been blessed with a loyal and an ever growing legion of wine enthusiasts that have supported our small, family owned winery.
"GambaZin" is how many Zin lovers simply refer to our wine, and to all of you we say, "Thank you" !
Gamba Wines are produced in small quantities each year. Our wines are available in specialty retail shops, fine restaurants, and in limited quantities each year at the winery. Our wines are available primarily in California wine shops and restaurants. However, the wines are available in small quantities in select markets across the United States. Since distribution is limited, Gamba wines may be found in only a few wine shops or restaurants in your area.
Please contact us for assistance locating a retailer near you at: gambazin@msn.com
Gamba wines are limited release wines, and because of the small quantities available, sell out quickly at the winery. Please visit our "Contact Us" page to check on wine availability, to place an order, inquire about our exclusive pre-release program, or to join our mailing list. We would love to hear from you!
