KQED Wine Club: International
Adegas Gran Vinum

KQED Wine Club: Reserve
Harrington Winery
The Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast is a dark, full-bodied expression of the varietal: rich, balanced

brown sugar. This is a focused, fine-grained,...
International Recipe
Seared Sea Scallop Salad with Meyer Lemon, Fennel and Mint
Meyer lemons are a cross between a true Eureka lemon and a mandarin or sweet orange. They were brought here to the US in 1908 from China but rediscovered by famed chef Alice Waters of Chez Panisse in the 1970s. They are an extremely fragrant and sweet lemon. If these are unavailable, substitute a mix of regular lemons with bit of orange juice and zest. Please look for the freshest scallops available, and if bay scallops or shrimp are fresher, feel free to use instead.
Reserve Recipe
Soy Glazed Cedar Planked Salmon with Mustard Mashed Potatoes
Pinot Noir and salmon—a classic pairing and perfect for the holidays.

pace of life. All along Hwy 128 there were orchards, farm stands, hidden hiking trails, and--of course--vineyards. I vowed
to come back and do some exploring.

Harvest Time: Robert Sinskey Vineyards
Posted by Stephanie Rosenbaum
Down the road, this frothy juice will become a suave Napa Valley Pinot Noir. But on this hot September morning at the beginning
of the 2009 harvest at Robert Sinskey Vineyards, these grapes are just a day or two off the vine, busily fermenting its way
from juice to wine.
