Chop Shop is a crowd-pleasing California Cabernet Sauvignon. It is ideal for sipping on its own or alongside your favorite meat dish, whether you're indulging in burgers or prime cuts. Works great with veggie burgers as well! This is a bold, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon that is approachable, with a fruit-forward personality. Packed with dark tones of black fruit, black pepper, and leather notes, this wine is ready to elevate any night of the week.

About Ryan Zotovich: Ryan's journey began on his family's vineyard in Los Osos, California, where he honed his skills. Despite initially pursuing computer science, a transformative glass of 1995 Heitz Martha’s Vineyard sparked his passion for winemaking. Under the guidance of the head of Cal Poly’s wine program, Ryan developed a passion for winemaking and worked as an assistant winemaker under Steve Clifton of Palmina and Brewer-Clifton. His journey continued as cellar master at Sea Smoke Cellars under Victor Gallegos and Kris Curran. In June of 2010, Ryan partnered with his uncle Steve to form Zotovich Cellars. Now as the director of winemaking for ABG Wines, Ryan oversees the creation of exceptional wines from diverse varieties and vineyards across California and beyond.
