Cilj dvojezične multimedijalne (Flash) CD prezentacije pod nazivom ''Vinsko bogatstvo Hrvatske – domovine Zinfandela'' tj. ''The wine resources of Croatia - the homeland of Zinfandel'' je širenje znanja o stoljetnoj tradiciji vinogradarstva i vinarstva na našim prostorima, od ranih početaka do danas. U sklopu povijesnog pregleda, poseban naglasak stavljen je na važnost nekih sorata poput babića, plavca malog i graševine po čijim vinima je Hrvatska postala prepoznatljiva u svijetu. Na CD-u su također ispričani detalji znanstvenog istraživanja kojim je potvrđeno hrvatsko porijeklo ekonomski vrlo važne kalifornijske crne sorte zinfandel.

Osim pregršta korisnih informacija na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku (40 kartica teksta na svakom jeziku ) o vinarima, vinskoj tradiciji, sortimentu i proizvodnji vina u Hrvatskoj, prezentacija sadrži preko 100 fotografija (u boji i crno - bijelih), karata i dijagrama. Svi sadržaji popraćeni su muzičkom podlogom.
