Schwarzenegger squashes Zinfandel billPosted Aug 31st 2006 10:01AM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Wine, West CoastGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has crushed a bill that would have made Zinfandel the historic wine of California. His reason for terminating the measure? The state produces so many top-notch varietals that he says it would be unfair to single one out for special treatment.Carole Migden, the bill's sponsor had wanted to make Zinfandel California's state wine, but shifted gears after an outcry from the state's vintners. While the governator may have a point, the fruity wine does have a rich history. The grape was first planted in California in the 1820s and some vines are still bearing fruit after more than 100 years.
