(Notice I said "good zin". That sorta leaves out a lot of zinfandels right there. Leaves out all the syrupy, jammy, monsters; of course, I don't think of them as zinfandel anyway.)

Well said. There are producers (Dashe, Nalle, Storybook, Swan, Storrs, Ridge, Dry Creek Vineyards) who produce zins I consider quaffable. I'll note that there are plenty of 14% zins that don't seem hot to me, seems to handle better than some other grapes (once you get over 15%, more bothersome)

The local pricing is competitive, but not nearly as aggressive as last year.
