Plates like asparagus-and-goat-cheese breakfast pudding, a stacked breakfast burger complete with a fried egg, and a hearty vegan breakfast bowl share the table with crisp fried Brussels sprouts and bakery-case favorites like ginger molasses cookies and lemon lavender teacakes. In Oakland, \u003cstrong>Tacos Oscar\u003c/strong> keeps things playful and innovative, turning out charred broccoli tacos slicked with peanut sauce, sweet-and-savory camote tacos, and tostadas piled high with greens, all best enjoyed with chips and smoky salsa morita. Then, guests head to San Francisco’s Inner Sunset at \u003cstrong>New Eritrea\u003c/strong>, where flaky mixed veggie and lentil sambusas give way to a vibrant vegetarian combo platter spread across injera flatbread, alongside bold bites like gored gored beef and the house’s deeply savory chicken-and-mushroom special — a communal, hands-on meal that invites you to tear, scoop, and share.

Named Auteur, its tagline reads, “Wine that refuses to behave. Between the Russian River and the redwoods, we follow the land. When the fog rolls sideways and the vines rebel, we don’t fight it. We bottle it.” Owners Kenneth and Laura Juhasz have opened a stunning property in Sonoma’s Russian River area, and its wines match the rugged elegance of the property and the vines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Chardonnay from the famed Bacigalupi Vineyard is intensely aromatic, with layers of ripe apples and citrus fruit interlaced with a touch of toasty oak. Using wild yeast to ferment the juice, the final wine expresses a lush texture balanced by pleasantly piercing vibrancy. This brightness comes from the lack of malolactic fermentation, which can lend an overwhelming buttery character to whites. This stylish Chardonnay is for lovers of freshness and complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lavalentina.it/en/prodotto/cerasuolo-doc/\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cstrong>La Valentina 2024 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo D.O.C.\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Abruzzo, Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis pretty-in-pink wine is a treasure to discover and a pleasure to drink. It’s a deeply garnet-hued rosé crafted from 100% Montepulciano red grapes from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is one of my favorite pink styles, due partially to its long skin-contact time, which gives it a deeper color and more intensity and depth than other rosés. Aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its zesty freshness, this wine overflows with succulent notes of cherry and red berries, complemented by a kiss of savoriness. It’s a full-bodied, affordable pink that delivers joy sipping poolside or tableside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.groundedwineco.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cstrong>GROUNDED by Josh Phelps 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>California, $18\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt’s rare to find a complex yet approachable California Cabernet for less than $20, but this is it. Grounded Wine Co., founded by Napa native Josh Phelps, offers a roster of well-made and well-priced wines from both California and Washington. Josh wanted to build a personal brand that expressed his experiences growing up in wine country, but with a modern twist. GROUNDED wines are made from top-notch vineyards, with a focus on sustainability and affordability. Loaded with fruit-driven flavors of dark berries and spice, this Cabernet Sauvignon is easy to drink. It kicks up the Cab’s quaffability quotient with a juicy, lush texture but keeps a touch of tannic grip for structure and balance.

Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Oh, my God! That is so good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Rodriguez:\u003c/b> That’s really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Hi, I’m Leslie Sbrocco. Welcome to “Check, Please! Bay Area,” the show where Bay Area residents review and talk about their favorite restaurants. Now, we have three guests, and each one recommends one of their favorite spots and the other two go check them out to see what they think. Joining me at the “Check, Please!” table today are nonprofit manager Cathy Asmus, social worker Erin Cabezas, and software engineer Anand Patel. Welcome, everyone. Are you ready for a good time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah. Let’s go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Erin’s rustic breakfast spot truly invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Tucked inside a cozy house decorated with a hodgepodge of farmhouse tables and chairs, it feels more like you’re spending Sunday morning at grandma’s than at a restaurant. Located in Danville, it’s Sideboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> Sideboard is community and neighborhood. When we open the doors, it’s like one big party. When I was little, my grandmother used to have parties, and when she put all the food out, she put it on the sideboard. I said, “Grandma, why do you put it on the sideboard?” She says, “Because it makes everybody get up and talk to each other.” During the weekdays, our breakfast is straightforward simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> We have the avocado toast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> The flavors, I think, are really unique and honest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Ceviche salad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> Every ingredient is fresh. We make everything from scratch. I mean, the pastries are off the hook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Oh, my gosh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> On the weekends is where we kind of shine. We do like three different kinds of Benedicts. Most people would use a fork and a knife for this, I suppose, but I don’t have to. Now, that’s the way to do it. Mm. Our English muffins — Not a lot of places make them. And I think they’re exquisite. Our fried chicken is amazing. We use a pressure fryer, which is really different. It’s not oily, it’s juicy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Oh, my goodness. I’m ready to dive in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> When you get a bucket of chicken, we also have a little envelope in there that has the wishbone. No cheating. You got to hold it at the bottom, you guys. At the — Oh! Well, you win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughs ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">One of my favorite things is when people order, you know, their burger, and they’ll get a piece of cake and they’ll sit there and eat their cake first. And I’m like, “It’s so great to be an adult, isn’t it? You can eat your cake first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> The best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> The vibe is cozy, comfortable. How I feel when I walk in the door is home, and I think a lot of other people feel that way too. It’s just a warm, fun, odd little place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Yay!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> Yay, Sideboard!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So, Erin, how did this become one of your favorite spots?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> We discovered Sideboard about nine years ago, right around when my first son was born. And we have been going ever since. I am a vegetarian. The rest of my family is not. So there is a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan options and gluten-free because sometimes I play with that also. My current obsession is their breakfast pudding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. Breakfast pudding?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes. And it’s not a pudding from what you would think of. It’s not a dessert at all. It’s an egg dish with eggs and cream and cheese with seasonal vegetables in it. It does come with a side salad with some goat cheese and tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. It’s absolutely amazing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I also had the breakfast pudding and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was thinking maybe like a bread pudding or something like that, but it was really incredible. Like the most fluffy texture. So light and airy somehow, but also, like, sweet and savory and dense. I don’t know how to explain it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it totally blew me out of the water. I also got the vegan breakfast bowl. All that’s visible when it first arrives is this mountain of savory ingredients like scrambled tofu and beans and tortilla chip shreds. And then underneath is a base of oatmeal. And I thought, “This is so strange.” But after eating it, it was — It worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And, Anand, what did you get?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I got the shirred eggs. Basically like baked eggs, but they come out in ham cups, so I don’t know what feat of engineering they pulled off, but they made ham into like little cups where they put the eggs inside of and the eggs were like perfectly cooked. It was the perfect flavor of smoky and that was like half the plate. The other half the plate was greens. So, like, you know, you didn’t feel guilty eating both of those cups because there was two of them. Really, really good, I enjoyed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> My mom had the breakfast burger, which was surprisingly huge, taking up almost the entire plate with like a rim of fries on the outside edge, and it had a big egg on top. And so you could like really — When you kind of pick it up and get in there, the egg kind of like cascades over the patty. So it’s a pretty scrumptious burger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did you try a fry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">They had a great aioli sauce on the side, so I was just dipping it in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> That aioli also comes with their Brussels sprouts that are crisped perfectly and very light and charred and just delicious. One of our go-to orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Any other dishes you want to talk about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They have an amazing case of baked goods that is like — right when you order, it’s staring at you, so you have to get at least a couple of items. I’m a fan of their ginger molasses cookie. It’s large. I mean, it’s bigger than your palm and it’s soft and it has chunks of ginger in it. It’s just amazing. The outrageous brownie has almost a mocha taste to it. It’s very rich in flavor, but not overpowering. I mean, you can absolutely eat the whole thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I was going to say, do you share any of those? Because I’m not so sure I would share that first one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did you get any baked goods?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I actually did get one muffin. I think it was like cinnamon flavored and yeah, it was — It was really delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did you share it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> No, actually. I actually accidentally ate the whole thing. And my wife was like, “You didn’t save a bite for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Totally accidentally ate the whole thing. Totally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, the baked-good case was overwhelming. I didn’t know what to pick. So we got the lemon lavender teacake. It was so fluffy and you could just tell it was baked fresh. We also got the chocolate chip cookie, and then they had a ton of cakes in the refrigerated case that I just — It was like there was not enough room in my stomach to try it all. But I would love to go back and, like, try all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And then they have a delicious peach sangria. Again, the flavor changes based on the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And they have wine on tap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They have wine, they have beer, they have amazing coffee also.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I love their coffee. It was really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what about service?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I thought service was really nice. You know, it’s one of those places where you go to the counter to order your food and they bring it out to you. So that was cool. They have their, like, cutlery inside of like a dresser, which is like, you know, basically like you go into your grandma’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And it’s not a cabinet. It’s a sideboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Oh a side– Oh, okay! Now it all makes sense. Now it all makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Alright. If you would like to go to Sideboard, it’s located on Railroad Avenue in Danville, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $30. Anand’s up next with his pick. Part street food stand, part art installation, it’s a colorful spot that’s turning heads and taste buds with creative takes on tacos. Located in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood, it’s Tacos Oscar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Michel:\u003c/b> Tacos Oscar is a neighborhood taqueria where you can come and laugh with your friends and feel like you’re somewhere else for a minute. I played music for many, many years and traveled all over the world. I would just get to taste different things in different places, and that’s when my love for food started. My business partner, Jake, and I were both in bands for a long time before we started doing the pop-up. It was very familiar to us loading a bunch of stuff into a vehicle, driving to the location, setting up and then performing. In our case, it was making food and our set list was our menu. There’s something about like a freshly hand-pressed thick tortilla that is just amazing to the palate. We’ve been sourcing our masa from La Finca in East Oakland. They mill it and grind it and so it comes ready to roll. It’s just corn, water, lime, mineral salt. That’s it. My inspiration originally was just doing, like, fried egg tacos and whatever we could make and put on a tortilla. The charred broccoli was a total mistake that turned into probably our most popular taco. I burned broccoli one day at a barbecue, and I still served it because I thought it, you know, had an interesting flavor with the charry-ness. I was working on, like, a peanut salsa, and I kind of just plated it for some friends. And everybody was like, “This is actually, like, a really crazy combination,” and we put it on the menu. It’s been on ever since. I want a table of people who have widely different diets to all be able to sit down together and have a meal together. We have a lot of vegan stuff on the menu. It’s mostly gluten-free. There’s a little bit of something for everyone. One of the most important things is serving our community and giving back. Some portion of your money spent goes to help feed our houseless neighbors. I will come in sometimes, and the first thing I hear when I’m approaching the restaurant is laughter and people talking and catching up, sharing stories. That’s what it’s all about. To have a space where people can, like, loosen up, but their plates are empty when they’re done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Alright, Anand, this is not an easy spot to find. How did you discover it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah. So it was serendipitous. Driving, we always see this line between these two buildings. Like, there’s nothing in between these two buildings. So one day we just decided, “Hey, let’s wait in line and see where see where this goes,” and turned out to be a taco spot, which was delicious. It was like one of the best decisions I made standing in that line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Because it could have been a sex shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah, that’s true, that’s true. Could have been anything. Usually when we start, we get the chips and salsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> It’s not your typical salsa. They have this really nice burnt orange colored sauce. It has savory, a little bit of smoky and not too much spice, just like the right amount. And the tortilla chips are crispy and homemade. I couldn’t find a chip that was, like, overdone or anything. They were all great. A great way to start the taco feast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Do you have a go-to taco or tacos? My favorite is the broccoli taco. It has broccoli, some peanut sauce, a little bit of pickled onions, and some cilantro. It’s just like amazing flavor combinations. A little bit of Thai flavor with the peanut. That’s like one of my favorites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I really loved the taco de papa with the potatoes and it was like home fries style, so they were dry and just delicious crispy. It had this like savory salsa on top and just on top of the most delicious tortilla I’ve ever had in my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I think that is their signature their tortillas. What about you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So, we got one of everything on the menu because I’m the vegetarian, and then everybody else is not, so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> And they have tons of veggie options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They do. They do. There’s a really wide selection. I didn’t really know what to expect as far as flavor profiles. And so it’s definitely not your traditional taqueria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And out of them, you know, the broccoli did have that Thai flavor. That’s what I would describe it as also.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Any other kind of taco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So I had a sweet potato taco. I think it’s the taco de camote. It wasn’t my favorite. The one that I had was really dripping in oil, to the point I actually ended up with oil all over my chin, and nobody told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Kids think it’s funny. Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> That’s surprising because that was my favorite part. Like, you pick it up, the oily goodness is dripping out, and it’s like, that’s where all the flavor was for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Mm-hmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Both of my boys really liked the meat ones. I believe it was the barbacoa one until it started getting a little spicy for my younger one. But they definitely enjoyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> They enjoyed it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> So, I’ve gotten the tostada, which is like a mountain of greens on this big tostada, a bunch of nuts and seeds on top. It is hard to eat. Like, you’re, like, there. It’s like falling off, but I go in. I just start digging up everything. So I also had the taco de hongos. It had like three mushrooms on it. They were cooked to perfection. I think they had tomatillo sauce on it, which is like a nice green sauce. And the way they cooked it, it just — the flavors went good together. The mushrooms were perfectly — They had a bite to them as you ate to it and it was like really delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> What about you, Cathy? Anything else?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, I got the ham and egg taco, which was also really good and generous portions, I will say, across all the tacos that we got. I’m a huge spice fan, and so I wish there was a salsa I could put on top that would kick it up a notch in the heat department, but otherwise it was really delicious. My friend also got the bean and cheese taco, which was gorgeous. I think they make the beans there. They were so smooth. The best refried beans ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Ooh!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, beans and cheese. And you’d think, you know, it’s basic, but it’s so good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> You must have gone for breakfast because those options were not — Like, a bean and cheese wasn’t available when we were there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Oh, it was a Sunday at like noon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> The brunch menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Okay, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> They have a brunch menu? So there’s a hidden pro tip right there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Oh, yeah. That’s true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Yeah. Okay. Would you go back to it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Absolutely. Yeah. Just for the tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Just for the tortillas alone. They’re so good. How about you? Would you go back?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> I don’t know that I would, but my husband might if he was in the area. They are very friendly to dogs, which is important, and kids. Another pro tip is you have to sit in the back because the tables in the front, the slats are so small that we lost three drinks. They kept knocking over. And so then we relocated and they brought us new drinks without even being asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Service was attentive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They were. Yes. They were very kind about all of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Alright.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> If you would like to try Tacos Oscar, it’s located on 40th Street in Oakland, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $25. Cathy’s neighborhood go-to takes her on a flavor-packed journey through the Horn of Africa every time she steps through the doors. A staple in San Francisco’s Sunset District for more than 25 years, it’s New Eritrea restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Manna:\u003c/b> When you dine in at New Eritrea restaurant, you dine with your senses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Is this spicy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> That’s got a little kick on it, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Manna:\u003c/b> And the end of the day, you never forget the experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> It’s fire, it’s fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Manna:\u003c/b> My older brother started the business, and my mom and my aunties and my sister were cooking, so very much I grew up here working with my family, and this is our passion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Bell rings ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Eritrean food is similar with Ethiopian food. We use the same spices we call berbere. Basically, it’s the kind of jalapeños family and there’s reddish colors. We add a lot of ingredients like ginger, garlic. You ground, you crush them together to make berbere. Everything is fresh. We have so many Vegetables. Split peas, chickpea, collard greens, okra. Tumtumo is made from red lentils. We stir them. We cook them slowly on the fire with spices, garlic, ginger. It’s very delicious. Gored gored is one of the most tender beef. We marinate it with spices and clarified butter. It melts in your mouth. Injera is bread made of teff, which is a grain from East Africa. You can see that the bubble is coming out right now, so we’re going to cover it for a few minutes. We make injera around like 600 to 700 injeras every day. So you can see that one. Okay. When you dine in here, use your hands. Especially in our culture we use our right hand. Our food is meant to share with friends and family. When you eat together, it’s kind of fun. You make a little messy, but this is part of the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Child:\u003c/b> New Eritrea is the best restaurant. Child #2: The best restaurant on Earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Manna:\u003c/b> People in the kitchen, they are the backbone of the restaurant. We’ve been working together with them for years. Also, I have a big family, so everybody helping out here. We’ve been here so far 27 years. We have many, many customers. They’ve been here. We know them for a long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> I love it. Yeah. We eat it every single Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Manna:\u003c/b> When you see people enjoy the food, experience different kind of experience, and leaving happy, that does make me really happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You know, Cathy, what’s amazing about this restaurant is it’s been in the city for years, which is pretty legendary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, I’ve been to every Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurant in the San Francisco area. It’s my favorite cuisine and they just knock it out of the park. I don’t know what they’re doing. It’s magic. It’s my favorite place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> What is your first order, let’s say, when you go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah. So I’m there basically every other week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> What?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> And I always —\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> “Here she is again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> And I always get their vegetarian combo platter which has kind of a great selection of their vegetarian dishes. They bring it out to you on this beautiful circle platter on top of a injera piece of bread on the bottom of the plate that’s like soaking up all of the goodness while you’re eating. And so it’s like kind of the treat that you save for last. Their spicy lentil dish that comes in The vegetarian combo platter is just so good. The split pea, the lighter yellow dish, is like almost its counterpart. It’s like sweet and savory, spicy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So we did the exact same. There was a chickpea dish, and then there was a potato that was almost like a curry. So it was potato and carrots. And then a collard green was amazing. And, like, just so comforting. And then we got some yogurt on the side to add a little dollop. It was all so good. All of them were amazing, and it was really nice to have all of the tastes because you didn’t need to commit to anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You’ve been shaking your head a lot. Did you like it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I loved it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You loved it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> It was really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Tell me what you had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> The only thing I had different was I subbed one of those in for a mushroom dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Because I love mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> You know, that kind of food is actually very similar to Indian food, which is kind of my own native food. They use the same spices. So it was, like, very comforting. All the dishes reminded me of home. Just the act of, like, tearing the injera bread, picking what you want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I cannot give enough praise to their injera bread. It’s just so perfect. It’s the perfect thickness, the perfect tartness, the perfect softness. And they’re very generous with it. One piece usually comes with your platter meal, and they’ll keep it coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And the platter was half the size of this table. There were seven of us. We only ordered a vegetarian platter for three plus then two meat options. Gored gored beef and then New Eritrea special that had chicken and mushrooms in it. They loved them. My brother-in-law is a big meat eater though, and he said he could have gone without the meat. He loved the vegetarian option so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> He loved the vegetarian option?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So it was all devoured and we were all very satisfied when we left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Another thing I love to get there are the sambusas. They have both meat and vegetarian options. The wrapper is crispy and then the inside is smooth. And there’s a lentil option which I always get. And then they also have a mixed vegetable option, which has all kinds of vegetables inside — Lima beans, corn, peas — and it’s so fresh. It’s not like you’re, you know, frozen mixed vegetable stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> The sauce that came with it was, like, amazing. It was almost like a harissa, paprika. It was — I mean, it was spicy, but you had to keep going back for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So talk a little bit about the place itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> It is so comfortable. It’s so lived in. It feels like you’re almost in like a family’s living room. The service is so generous and gracious. I think every time I’ve been there, they’re always hosting this huge event in their little space in the back. And despite it being completely full to capacity, they’ll always come and check on you. Like, “Do you have enough injera bread?” Like, everything is taken care of. And so yeah, service is amazing. And I really like the wrap-around, like, cozy bar. It’s almost like the set of “Cheers” or something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yeah, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what about value? What do you think about the price?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Oh, I think it was definitely worth it. You get so much food and, like, pretty much unlimited injera coming through. Definitely worth it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Yeah?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah. Affordable enough to go twice or more a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Alright.

See other \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/tv/programs/index.jsp?pgmid=14084\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">television airtimes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delicious mornings start in Danville at \u003cstrong>Sideboard\u003c/strong>, a laid-back neighborhood spot where breakfasts are both comforting and creative. Plates like asparagus-and-goat-cheese breakfast pudding, a stacked breakfast burger complete with a fried egg, and a hearty vegan breakfast bowl share the table with crisp fried Brussels sprouts and bakery-case favorites like ginger molasses cookies and lemon lavender teacakes. In Oakland, \u003cstrong>Tacos Oscar\u003c/strong> keeps things playful and innovative, turning out charred broccoli tacos slicked with peanut sauce, sweet-and-savory camote tacos, and tostadas piled high with greens, all best enjoyed with chips and smoky salsa morita. Then, guests head to San Francisco’s Inner Sunset at \u003cstrong>New Eritrea\u003c/strong>, where flaky mixed veggie and lentil sambusas give way to a vibrant vegetarian combo platter spread across injera flatbread, alongside bold bites like gored gored beef and the house’s deeply savory chicken-and-mushroom special — a communal, hands-on meal that invites you to tear, scoop, and share. The episode wraps up as reporter Cecilia Phillips brings “Cecilia Tries It” to San Jose’s \u003cstrong>G Spot Happy Tastebuds\u003c/strong>, exploring a hub of Latin-focused food trucks serving bold, crave-worthy dishes in a lively, communal setting.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23730\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23730 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2026/02/2015_02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2026/02/2015_02.png 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2026/02/2015_02-160x90.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2026/02/2015_02-768x432.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2026/02/2015_02-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Host Leslie Sbrocco joins guests Cathy Asmus, Anand Patel and Erin Cabezas from KQED in San Francisco.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b2b2b\">Get Restaurant Information:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sideboard.co/\">\u003cstrong>Sideboard\u003c/strong> (Danville)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tacososcar.com/\">\u003cstrong>Tacos Oscar\u003c/strong> (Oakland)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://neweritrearestaurant.com/index.html\">\u003cstrong>New Eritrea \u003c/strong>(San Francisco)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjose.org/listings/g-spot-happy-tastebuds-food-trucks\">\u003cstrong>G Spot Happy Tastebuds \u003c/strong>(San Jose)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20123\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20123\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/04/Leslie-Headshot-Smokey-copy-800x540.jpg\" alt=\"Host Leslie Sbrocco sipping wine\" width=\"800\" height=\"540\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Host Leslie Sbrocco sipping wine \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Leslie Sbrocco)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>My name is Leslie Sbrocco, and I’m the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/host-biography/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">host\u003c/a> of \u003cem>Check, Please!

Named Auteur, its tagline reads, “Wine that refuses to behave. Between the Russian River and the redwoods, we follow the land. When the fog rolls sideways and the vines rebel, we don’t fight it. We bottle it.” Owners Kenneth and Laura Juhasz have opened a stunning property in Sonoma’s Russian River area, and its wines match the rugged elegance of the property and the vines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This Chardonnay from the famed Bacigalupi Vineyard is intensely aromatic, with layers of ripe apples and citrus fruit interlaced with a touch of toasty oak. Using wild yeast to ferment the juice, the final wine expresses a lush texture balanced by pleasantly piercing vibrancy. This brightness comes from the lack of malolactic fermentation, which can lend an overwhelming buttery character to whites. This stylish Chardonnay is for lovers of freshness and complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lavalentina.it/en/prodotto/cerasuolo-doc/\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cstrong>La Valentina 2024 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo D.O.C.\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Abruzzo, Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis pretty-in-pink wine is a treasure to discover and a pleasure to drink. It’s a deeply garnet-hued rosé crafted from 100% Montepulciano red grapes from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo is one of my favorite pink styles, due partially to its long skin-contact time, which gives it a deeper color and more intensity and depth than other rosés. Aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its zesty freshness, this wine overflows with succulent notes of cherry and red berries, complemented by a kiss of savoriness. It’s a full-bodied, affordable pink that delivers joy sipping poolside or tableside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.groundedwineco.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #339966\">\u003cstrong>GROUNDED by Josh Phelps 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/strong>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>California, $18\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt’s rare to find a complex yet approachable California Cabernet for less than $20, but this is it. Grounded Wine Co., founded by Napa native Josh Phelps, offers a roster of well-made and well-priced wines from both California and Washington. Josh wanted to build a personal brand that expressed his experiences growing up in wine country, but with a modern twist. GROUNDED wines are made from top-notch vineyards, with a focus on sustainability and affordability. Loaded with fruit-driven flavors of dark berries and spice, this Cabernet Sauvignon is easy to drink. It kicks up the Cab’s quaffability quotient with a juicy, lush texture but keeps a touch of tannic grip for structure and balance. A wine to buy by the case for all occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Episode Transcript\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Rustic breakfast delights in Danville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it totally blew me out of the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Tacos with a twist in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> It’s just like amazing flavor combinations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And traditional East African cuisine in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> The sauce that came with it was like amazing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Just ahead on “Check, Please! Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Phillips:\u003c/b> Oh, my God! That is so good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Rodriguez:\u003c/b> That’s really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Hi, I’m Leslie Sbrocco. Welcome to “Check, Please! Bay Area,” the show where Bay Area residents review and talk about their favorite restaurants. Now, we have three guests, and each one recommends one of their favorite spots and the other two go check them out to see what they think. Joining me at the “Check, Please!” table today are nonprofit manager Cathy Asmus, social worker Erin Cabezas, and software engineer Anand Patel. Welcome, everyone. Are you ready for a good time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah. Let’s go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Erin’s rustic breakfast spot truly invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Tucked inside a cozy house decorated with a hodgepodge of farmhouse tables and chairs, it feels more like you’re spending Sunday morning at grandma’s than at a restaurant. Located in Danville, it’s Sideboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p2\">♪♪\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> Sideboard is community and neighborhood. When we open the doors, it’s like one big party. When I was little, my grandmother used to have parties, and when she put all the food out, she put it on the sideboard. I said, “Grandma, why do you put it on the sideboard?” She says, “Because it makes everybody get up and talk to each other.” During the weekdays, our breakfast is straightforward simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> We have the avocado toast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> The flavors, I think, are really unique and honest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Ceviche salad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> Every ingredient is fresh. We make everything from scratch. I mean, the pastries are off the hook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Oh, my gosh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> On the weekends is where we kind of shine. We do like three different kinds of Benedicts. Most people would use a fork and a knife for this, I suppose, but I don’t have to. Now, that’s the way to do it. Mm. Our English muffins — Not a lot of places make them. And I think they’re exquisite. Our fried chicken is amazing. We use a pressure fryer, which is really different. It’s not oily, it’s juicy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Woman:\u003c/b> Oh, my goodness. I’m ready to dive in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> When you get a bucket of chicken, we also have a little envelope in there that has the wishbone. No cheating. You got to hold it at the bottom, you guys. At the — Oh! Well, you win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughs ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">One of my favorite things is when people order, you know, their burger, and they’ll get a piece of cake and they’ll sit there and eat their cake first. And I’m like, “It’s so great to be an adult, isn’t it? You can eat your cake first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> The best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> The vibe is cozy, comfortable. How I feel when I walk in the door is home, and I think a lot of other people feel that way too. It’s just a warm, fun, odd little place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Man:\u003c/b> Yay!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Andrews:\u003c/b> Yay, Sideboard!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So, Erin, how did this become one of your favorite spots?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> We discovered Sideboard about nine years ago, right around when my first son was born. And we have been going ever since. I am a vegetarian. The rest of my family is not. So there is a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan options and gluten-free because sometimes I play with that also. My current obsession is their breakfast pudding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay. Breakfast pudding?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes. And it’s not a pudding from what you would think of. It’s not a dessert at all. It’s an egg dish with eggs and cream and cheese with seasonal vegetables in it. It does come with a side salad with some goat cheese and tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. It’s absolutely amazing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I also had the breakfast pudding and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was thinking maybe like a bread pudding or something like that, but it was really incredible. Like the most fluffy texture. So light and airy somehow, but also, like, sweet and savory and dense. I don’t know how to explain it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it totally blew me out of the water. I also got the vegan breakfast bowl. All that’s visible when it first arrives is this mountain of savory ingredients like scrambled tofu and beans and tortilla chip shreds. And then underneath is a base of oatmeal. And I thought, “This is so strange.” But after eating it, it was — It worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And, Anand, what did you get?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I got the shirred eggs. Basically like baked eggs, but they come out in ham cups, so I don’t know what feat of engineering they pulled off, but they made ham into like little cups where they put the eggs inside of and the eggs were like perfectly cooked. It was the perfect flavor of smoky and that was like half the plate. The other half the plate was greens. So, like, you know, you didn’t feel guilty eating both of those cups because there was two of them. Really, really good, I enjoyed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> My mom had the breakfast burger, which was surprisingly huge, taking up almost the entire plate with like a rim of fries on the outside edge, and it had a big egg on top. And so you could like really — When you kind of pick it up and get in there, the egg kind of like cascades over the patty. So it’s a pretty scrumptious burger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did you try a fry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">They had a great aioli sauce on the side, so I was just dipping it in there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> That aioli also comes with their Brussels sprouts that are crisped perfectly and very light and charred and just delicious. One of our go-to orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Any other dishes you want to talk about?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They have an amazing case of baked goods that is like — right when you order, it’s staring at you, so you have to get at least a couple of items. I’m a fan of their ginger molasses cookie. It’s large. I mean, it’s bigger than your palm and it’s soft and it has chunks of ginger in it. It’s just amazing. The outrageous brownie has almost a mocha taste to it. It’s very rich in flavor, but not overpowering. I mean, you can absolutely eat the whole thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I was going to say, do you share any of those? Because I’m not so sure I would share that first one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did you get any baked goods?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I actually did get one muffin. I think it was like cinnamon flavored and yeah, it was — It was really delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Did you share it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> No, actually. I actually accidentally ate the whole thing. And my wife was like, “You didn’t save a bite for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Totally accidentally ate the whole thing. Totally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, the baked-good case was overwhelming. I didn’t know what to pick. So we got the lemon lavender teacake. It was so fluffy and you could just tell it was baked fresh. We also got the chocolate chip cookie, and then they had a ton of cakes in the refrigerated case that I just — It was like there was not enough room in my stomach to try it all. But I would love to go back and, like, try all of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And then they have a delicious peach sangria. Again, the flavor changes based on the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And they have wine on tap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They have wine, they have beer, they have amazing coffee also.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I love their coffee. It was really good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what about service?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> I thought service was really nice. You know, it’s one of those places where you go to the counter to order your food and they bring it out to you. So that was cool. They have their, like, cutlery inside of like a dresser, which is like, you know, basically like you go into your grandma’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And it’s not a cabinet. It’s a sideboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Oh a side– Oh, okay! Now it all makes sense. Now it all makes sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Alright. If you would like to go to Sideboard, it’s located on Railroad Avenue in Danville, and the average multi-course tab per person without drinks is around $30. Anand’s up next with his pick. Part street food stand, part art installation, it’s a colorful spot that’s turning heads and taste buds with creative takes on tacos. Located in Oakland’s Temescal neighborhood, it’s Tacos Oscar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Michel:\u003c/b> Tacos Oscar is a neighborhood taqueria where you can come and laugh with your friends and feel like you’re somewhere else for a minute. I played music for many, many years and traveled all over the world. I would just get to taste different things in different places, and that’s when my love for food started. My business partner, Jake, and I were both in bands for a long time before we started doing the pop-up. It was very familiar to us loading a bunch of stuff into a vehicle, driving to the location, setting up and then performing. In our case, it was making food and our set list was our menu. There’s something about like a freshly hand-pressed thick tortilla that is just amazing to the palate. We’ve been sourcing our masa from La Finca in East Oakland. They mill it and grind it and so it comes ready to roll. It’s just corn, water, lime, mineral salt. That’s it. My inspiration originally was just doing, like, fried egg tacos and whatever we could make and put on a tortilla. The charred broccoli was a total mistake that turned into probably our most popular taco. I burned broccoli one day at a barbecue, and I still served it because I thought it, you know, had an interesting flavor with the charry-ness. I was working on, like, a peanut salsa, and I kind of just plated it for some friends. And everybody was like, “This is actually, like, a really crazy combination,” and we put it on the menu. It’s been on ever since. I want a table of people who have widely different diets to all be able to sit down together and have a meal together. We have a lot of vegan stuff on the menu. It’s mostly gluten-free. There’s a little bit of something for everyone. One of the most important things is serving our community and giving back. Some portion of your money spent goes to help feed our houseless neighbors. I will come in sometimes, and the first thing I hear when I’m approaching the restaurant is laughter and people talking and catching up, sharing stories. That’s what it’s all about. To have a space where people can, like, loosen up, but their plates are empty when they’re done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Alright, Anand, this is not an easy spot to find. How did you discover it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah. So it was serendipitous. Driving, we always see this line between these two buildings. Like, there’s nothing in between these two buildings. So one day we just decided, “Hey, let’s wait in line and see where see where this goes,” and turned out to be a taco spot, which was delicious. It was like one of the best decisions I made standing in that line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Because it could have been a sex shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah, that’s true, that’s true. Could have been anything. Usually when we start, we get the chips and salsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> It’s not your typical salsa. They have this really nice burnt orange colored sauce. It has savory, a little bit of smoky and not too much spice, just like the right amount. And the tortilla chips are crispy and homemade. I couldn’t find a chip that was, like, overdone or anything. They were all great. A great way to start the taco feast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Do you have a go-to taco or tacos? My favorite is the broccoli taco. It has broccoli, some peanut sauce, a little bit of pickled onions, and some cilantro. It’s just like amazing flavor combinations. A little bit of Thai flavor with the peanut. That’s like one of my favorites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I really loved the taco de papa with the potatoes and it was like home fries style, so they were dry and just delicious crispy. It had this like savory salsa on top and just on top of the most delicious tortilla I’ve ever had in my life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> I think that is their signature their tortillas. What about you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So, we got one of everything on the menu because I’m the vegetarian, and then everybody else is not, so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> And they have tons of veggie options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They do. They do. There’s a really wide selection. I didn’t really know what to expect as far as flavor profiles. And so it’s definitely not your traditional taqueria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And out of them, you know, the broccoli did have that Thai flavor. That’s what I would describe it as also.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Any other kind of taco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So I had a sweet potato taco. I think it’s the taco de camote. It wasn’t my favorite. The one that I had was really dripping in oil, to the point I actually ended up with oil all over my chin, and nobody told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Kids think it’s funny. Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> That’s surprising because that was my favorite part. Like, you pick it up, the oily goodness is dripping out, and it’s like, that’s where all the flavor was for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Mm-hmm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Both of my boys really liked the meat ones. I believe it was the barbacoa one until it started getting a little spicy for my younger one. But they definitely enjoyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> They enjoyed it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Okay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> So, I’ve gotten the tostada, which is like a mountain of greens on this big tostada, a bunch of nuts and seeds on top. It is hard to eat. Like, you’re, like, there. It’s like falling off, but I go in. I just start digging up everything. So I also had the taco de hongos. It had like three mushrooms on it. They were cooked to perfection. I think they had tomatillo sauce on it, which is like a nice green sauce. And the way they cooked it, it just — the flavors went good together. The mushrooms were perfectly — They had a bite to them as you ate to it and it was like really delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> What about you, Cathy? Anything else?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, I got the ham and egg taco, which was also really good and generous portions, I will say, across all the tacos that we got. I’m a huge spice fan, and so I wish there was a salsa I could put on top that would kick it up a notch in the heat department, but otherwise it was really delicious. My friend also got the bean and cheese taco, which was gorgeous. I think they make the beans there. They were so smooth. The best refried beans ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Ooh!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah, beans and cheese. And you’d think, you know, it’s basic, but it’s so good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> You must have gone for breakfast because those options were not — Like, a bean and cheese wasn’t available when we were there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Oh, it was a Sunday at like noon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> The brunch menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Okay, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> They have a brunch menu? So there’s a hidden pro tip right there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Patel:\u003c/b> Oh, yeah. That’s true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Yeah. Okay. Would you go back to it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Absolutely. Yeah. Just for the tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Just for the tortillas alone. They’re so good. How about you? Would you go back?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> I don’t know that I would, but my husband might if he was in the area. They are very friendly to dogs, which is important, and kids. Another pro tip is you have to sit in the back because the tables in the front, the slats are so small that we lost three drinks. They kept knocking over. And so then we relocated and they brought us new drinks without even being asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> Service was attentive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> They were. Yes.

We use the same spices we call berbere. Basically, it’s the kind of jalapeños family and there’s reddish colors. We add a lot of ingredients like ginger, garlic. You ground, you crush them together to make berbere. Everything is fresh. We have so many Vegetables. Split peas, chickpea, collard greens, okra. Tumtumo is made from red lentils. We stir them. We cook them slowly on the fire with spices, garlic, ginger. It’s very delicious. Gored gored is one of the most tender beef. We marinate it with spices and clarified butter. It melts in your mouth. Injera is bread made of teff, which is a grain from East Africa. You can see that the bubble is coming out right now, so we’re going to cover it for a few minutes. We make injera around like 600 to 700 injeras every day. So you can see that one. Okay. When you dine in here, use your hands. Especially in our culture we use our right hand. Our food is meant to share with friends and family. When you eat together, it’s kind of fun. You make a little messy, but this is part of the culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Child:\u003c/b> New Eritrea is the best restaurant.

It’s my favorite cuisine and they just knock it out of the park. I don’t know what they’re doing. It’s magic. It’s my favorite place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> What is your first order, let’s say, when you go?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Yeah.

They bring it out to you on this beautiful circle platter on top of a injera piece of bread on the bottom of the plate that’s like soaking up all of the goodness while you’re eating. And so it’s like kind of the treat that you save for last. Their spicy lentil dish that comes in The vegetarian combo platter is just so good. The split pea, the lighter yellow dish, is like almost its counterpart. It’s like sweet and savory, spicy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So we did the exact same. There was a chickpea dish, and then there was a potato that was almost like a curry. So it was potato and carrots. And then a collard green was amazing. And, like, just so comforting. And then we got some yogurt on the side to add a little dollop. It was all so good. All of them were amazing, and it was really nice to have all of the tastes because you didn’t need to commit to anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> You’ve been shaking your head a lot.

They use the same spices. So it was, like, very comforting. All the dishes reminded me of home. Just the act of, like, tearing the injera bread, picking what you want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> I cannot give enough praise to their injera bread. It’s just so perfect. It’s the perfect thickness, the perfect tartness, the perfect softness. And they’re very generous with it. One piece usually comes with your platter meal, and they’ll keep it coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> And the platter was half the size of this table. There were seven of us. We only ordered a vegetarian platter for three plus then two meat options. Gored gored beef and then New Eritrea special that had chicken and mushrooms in it. They loved them. My brother-in-law is a big meat eater though, and he said he could have gone without the meat. He loved the vegetarian option so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> He loved the vegetarian option?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> So it was all devoured and we were all very satisfied when we left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> Another thing I love to get there are the sambusas. They have both meat and vegetarian options. The wrapper is crispy and then the inside is smooth. And there’s a lentil option which I always get. And then they also have a mixed vegetable option, which has all kinds of vegetables inside — Lima beans, corn, peas — and it’s so fresh. It’s not like you’re, you know, frozen mixed vegetable stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> The sauce that came with it was, like, amazing. It was almost like a harissa, paprika. It was — I mean, it was spicy, but you had to keep going back for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> So talk a little bit about the place itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Asmus:\u003c/b> It is so comfortable. It’s so lived in. It feels like you’re almost in like a family’s living room. The service is so generous and gracious. I think every time I’ve been there, they’re always hosting this huge event in their little space in the back. And despite it being completely full to capacity, they’ll always come and check on you. Like, “Do you have enough injera bread?” Like, everything is taken care of. And so yeah, service is amazing. And I really like the wrap-around, like, cozy bar. It’s almost like the set of “Cheers” or something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Cabezas:\u003c/b> Yeah, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">[ Laughter ]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cb>Sbrocco:\u003c/b> And what about value?

Join us next time when three more guests will recommend their favorite spots right here on “Check, Please! Bay Area.” I’m Leslie Sbrocco and I’ll see you then. Cheers, everyone. Whoo-hoo! Cheers.

This collectible bottling is a pinnacle for Silverado as it’s made with 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from their heralded Mt. George Vineyard.

You bet. Some of the most unique and delicious sparkling wines I’ve sampled have come from Portugal’s coastal region of Bairrada. Not only are they world-class, they can be very affordable. This winery was founded in 1920 and is named for S. João, the patron Saint of Bairrada. I love the dark-pink sparkler, which is made primarily from an indigenous red grape named Baga along with Touriga Nacional and Cabernet Sauvignon. Hard to believe these tannic, inky-purple-skinned grapes make delicate sparkling wine with such aromatic finesse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shop.eberlewinery.com/SHOP.AMS?LEVEL=BOT&PART=CHARD17&DESC=Eberle%20WInery%202017%20Eberle%20Estate%20Chardonnay\">\u003cstrong>2017 Eberle Estate Chardonnay, Paso Robles, California $24\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wine industry is full of characters overflowing with personality, flair and talent. Gary Eberle is one such icon and ranks among the top of my list of California’s most fascinating wine people. He started his eponymous brand with the 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon and has been a leader in putting the Paso Robles on the wine map co-founding the AVA in 1983. The Eberle Chardonnay is a crowd-pleaser. With a kiss of oak and richness on the palate, it also maintains a bright, zesty quality making it ideal for sipping with food…or by itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rameywine.com/wine-release/2016-claret-napa-valley/\">\u003cstrong>2016 Ramey Claret, Napa Valley, California $42\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Ramey is one of California’s most respected and talented winemakers creating/establishing/developing hallmark wineries such as Matanzas Creek, Dominus, and Girard. Along with his decades of experience, David is also a pioneer in the business. Even with an eye towards innovation, he appreciates the traditional. The Ramey Claret is a classic Bordeaux-styled blend with a twist. Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec, there’s also a dash of Syrah. It’s elegant, spicy and altogether classy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thecallingwine.com/index.cfm?method=products.productDrilldown&productID=CFC6AD21-9B71-B677-51B7-2A05572D90B5&originalMarketingURL=product/2015-Fox-Den-Pinot-Noir\">\u003cstrong>2015 The Calling, Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California $62\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a Pinot Noir lover, put The Calling on your list of must-trys (and must buys). A collaboration between sportscaster, Jim Nantz, and wine industry leader, Peter Deutsch, the two met by chance but had the same passion in mind – to create great wine. This world-class Pinot Noir hails from the Fox Den Vineyard site in the Russian River Valley, a mere 12 miles from the coast. The location allows the grapes time to bask in the Sonoma sunshine then chill out with cool evening temperatures creating a wine with suppleness and freshness. Concentrated fruit notes are wrapped with a silky texture in a Pinot that’s pure pleasure to drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://thesplintergroupspirits.com/partner\">\u003cstrong>Partner Sweet Vermouth $25\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk about underappreciated. Poor vermouth has been relegated to the back of wine racks and bar counters for far too long. But, all of that is changing. Vermouth is a wine that has been fortified with spirits and infused with a mixture of herbs and spices. It can be dry or sweet, both of which are staples in familiar cocktails like Martinis and Manhattans. The Partner is a deliciously sweet Vermouth crafted with Merlot, Petite Sirah, fresh cherries and a treasure trove of spices and herbs from Star Anise to Indian Coriander. Pour it over ice for a sweet treat or add a dash to a glass of bubbles for a twist on a traditional Kir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://bentlyheritage.com/spirits/juniper-grove#american-dry\">\u003cstrong>Bently Heritage Juniper Grove American Dry Gin $40\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, I’m a wine lover, but I’m also a gin fanatic. I explore (and adore) a wide variety of worldwide versions and am always on the hunt for something different. I found it. This unique spirit is made by an impressive new distillery in Nevada. Estate-grown oats are the base of the juniper-forward gin. They give a viscous mouthfeel to the spirit that stands apart from other gins. Triple distillation gives a polished finish too, making it ideal for an ice-cold martini with a lemon twist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20312\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20312\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 14 episode 12.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 14 episode 12. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

Gary Eberle is one such icon and ranks among the top of my list of California’s most fascinating wine people. He started his eponymous brand with the 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon and has been a leader in putting the Paso Robles on the wine map co-founding the AVA in 1983. The Eberle Chardonnay is a crowd-pleaser. With a kiss of oak and richness on the palate, it also maintains a bright, zesty quality making it ideal for sipping with food…or by itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.rameywine.com/wine-release/2016-claret-napa-valley/\">\u003cstrong>2016 Ramey Claret, Napa Valley, California $42\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Ramey is one of California’s most respected and talented winemakers creating/establishing/developing hallmark wineries such as Matanzas Creek, Dominus, and Girard. Along with his decades of experience, David is also a pioneer in the business. Even with an eye towards innovation, he appreciates the traditional. The Ramey Claret is a classic Bordeaux-styled blend with a twist. Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec, there’s also a dash of Syrah. It’s elegant, spicy and altogether classy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thecallingwine.com/index.cfm?method=products.productDrilldown&productID=CFC6AD21-9B71-B677-51B7-2A05572D90B5&originalMarketingURL=product/2015-Fox-Den-Pinot-Noir\">\u003cstrong>2015 The Calling, Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California $62\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re a Pinot Noir lover, put The Calling on your list of must-trys (and must buys). A collaboration between sportscaster, Jim Nantz, and wine industry leader, Peter Deutsch, the two met by chance but had the same passion in mind – to create great wine. This world-class Pinot Noir hails from the Fox Den Vineyard site in the Russian River Valley, a mere 12 miles from the coast. The location allows the grapes time to bask in the Sonoma sunshine then chill out with cool evening temperatures creating a wine with suppleness and freshness. Concentrated fruit notes are wrapped with a silky texture in a Pinot that’s pure pleasure to drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://thesplintergroupspirits.com/partner\">\u003cstrong>Partner Sweet Vermouth $25\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk about underappreciated. Poor vermouth has been relegated to the back of wine racks and bar counters for far too long. But, all of that is changing. Vermouth is a wine that has been fortified with spirits and infused with a mixture of herbs and spices. It can be dry or sweet, both of which are staples in familiar cocktails like Martinis and Manhattans. The Partner is a deliciously sweet Vermouth crafted with Merlot, Petite Sirah, fresh cherries and a treasure trove of spices and herbs from Star Anise to Indian Coriander. Pour it over ice for a sweet treat or add a dash to a glass of bubbles for a twist on a traditional Kir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://bentlyheritage.com/spirits/juniper-grove#american-dry\">\u003cstrong>Bently Heritage Juniper Grove American Dry Gin $40\u003c/strong> \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, I’m a wine lover, but I’m also a gin fanatic. I explore (and adore) a wide variety of worldwide versions and am always on the hunt for something different. I found it. This unique spirit is made by an impressive new distillery in Nevada. Estate-grown oats are the base of the juniper-forward gin. They give a viscous mouthfeel to the spirit that stands apart from other gins. Triple distillation gives a polished finish too, making it ideal for an ice-cold martini with a lemon twist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20312\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20312\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 14 episode 12.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/09/1412-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 14 episode 12. \u003ccite>(Grace Cheung)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

A label from iconic Napa Valley sparkling wine producer, Schramsberg, who has been crafting world-class wines for more than 50 years, this California bottling is class in a glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Made from Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, its a dry, delicious pink that’s oh so FUN to drink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.dutchercrossingwinery.com/\">2016 Dutcher Crossing ‘Bacigalupi Vineyard’ Chardonnay, Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California $41\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWith a philosophy focused on small-lot, high-quality winemaking, owner Debra Mathy and winemaker Nick Briggs, are making wines worth of seeking out. The winery is based in Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma, but this Chardonnay hails from a famed vineyard in neighboring Russian River Valley. It is rich and lush yet balanced and juicy with a streak of minerality reminiscent of top white Burgundy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chimneyrock.com/\">2015 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California $99\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nChimney Rock is one of Napa Valley’s classic anchor wineries. It produces some of what I consider Napa’s best versions of Cabernet Sauvignon. Case in point, the 2015 Stags Leap District bottling. Intense, weighty, complex and layered, it has only begun to shine. With the potential to age for decades, it’s a splurge-worthy red to covet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19808\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19808\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/09/IMG_5425-e1537908915350.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 12.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 12. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
