Meaning & Story
Named after Zinfandel, a bold red wine grape variety grown primarily in California, suggesting richness, warmth, and an enjoyment of the good life.
Zinfandel is a name for a pet whose owners clearly have excellent taste — both in animals and in wine. The Zinfandel grape is one of California's great contributions to the wine world, producing rich, bold, jammy reds that have made the Golden State famous. For a large, warm-coated male dog with a robust personality and an infectious love of life, Zinfandel is a gloriously over-the-top choice. The nickname Zinny or Zin makes it entirely practical for daily use.
