KQED Wine Club: Reserve

Domaine des Escaravailles

The Rasteau comes from a prized 86-year-old vine parcel on the property. The nose has fruity scents of blackberry, baked plum and huckleberry with notes of mocha, coffee and allspice. This is a soft, subtle and engaging wine with blueberry and blackberry flavors and hints of white pepper.

Grilled Herb Crusted Lamb Chops with Scalloped Potatoes

Posted by Megan Gordon

I'd driven through Boonville with my Dad and my sisters once, all too briefly en route to Mendocino. We stopped at the Boonville General Store for a sandwich and sat outside admiring the coolness of the little stretch of road and the delightfully slow pace of life.

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.
