The challenge is that white Zinfandel is very sweet. Given this, I would expect it to go best with spicy or sour dishes. Having said this I'm not sure what the result would taste like without trying it.

It may be nice in a sweet sauce for duck or pork or for a desert.

I would not use it in dishes that traditionally use a dry wine.
