Yeah, somewhat famed for use in Beaujolais, which incidentally is a very under appreciated wine type (for obvious reasons). The wine lists at restaurants in Lyon are probably 60% Beaujolais for good reason. Lyon has some excellent food.
I recall helping out at my bid's wine shop one Saturday when a lady came in asking for Zinfandel and was astonished to discover it was red. She walked out in a huff. I sent her to Kroger.
I went through a zinfandel phase a couple decades ago, I tend not to buy them any more.
