This week, we begin at Z & Y Restaurant, one of the hottest Sichuan restaurants in San Francisco, known for catering to tourists, locals, presidents, and foreign ministers alike. Our next stop is in San Mateo and designed with leisure in mind, so turn off your phone and leave your laptop at home when you dine at Pausa. Our final pick in Oakland serves stick-to-your-ribs-hearty-fare with southern hospitality. You’ll be impressed with their meatless menu when you taste the Louisiana Creole-style vegan soul food offered at Souley Vegan.

My name is Leslie Sbrocco and I’m the host of Check, Please! Bay Area. Each week, I will be sharing my tasting notes about the wine, beer, and spirits the guests and I drank on set during the taping of the show.
2015 Cuvaison Brut Rosé, Napa Valley, California $50
Considered one of the founding wineries of Napa Valley, Cuvasion was established in 1969 with a focus on crafting top still wines from the Los Carneros region. As a pink bubbles fan, however, I was thrilled to see this sparkling added to their small lot offerings. Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with the traditional méthode Champenoise technique, this is an elegant and fruity Rosé worth splurging on for a special occasion (or just to treat yourself).
