Next, from Season 12, it’s off to The Brazen Head in San Francisco, an old-school neighborhood bar that serves nothin’-fancy pub grub late into the night. Finally, from Season 11, experimental dishes blossom from a chef’s poetic inspiration at Atelier Crenn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get Restaurant Information:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lamarchaberkeley.com/\">La Marcha Tapas Bar\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://brazenheadsf.com/\">\u003cstrong>Brazen Head\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://ateliercrenn.getbento.com/\">\u003cb>Atelier Crenn\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20123\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20123\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2019/04/Leslie-Headshot-Smokey-copy-e1555453920739.jpg\" alt=\"Host Leslie Sbrocco sipping wine\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1297\">\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!

It’s ideal for summer sipping with its pale-rose hue, pink grapefruit juiciness, and affordable price tag. A dry rosé made primarily from Chile’s signature red grape, Carmenere, with a dash of Syrah, it’s crisp, succulent and goes down easy. It’s also pretty to look at from the label to the wine. Pair alongside anything casual eaten al fresco from grilled fish to chips and salsa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mettlerwine.com/Trade/Brand-Resources/2019-Albarino\">2019 Mettler Family Vineyards Albariño\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $20\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThough Mettler is a historic grape-growing family in California, one of their newest releases is made with a grape variety that hails from Spain. Albariño is known in western Spain’s Galicia region for producing crisp yet complex whites. In California there are only a few hundred acres planted. Mettler’s version is one of the best. Crisp, aromatic and still sporting a rich texture, it’s a wine to pour in place of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Salud!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lacrema.com/wine/russian-river-chardonnay/\">2017 La Crema Chardonnay\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, $30\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nLa Crema is a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir specialist. Though crafting numerous versions of both varieties from various wine-growing regions, this Chardonnay is my favorite. It captures both richness coming from oak barrel fermentation and aging, but with a core of citrus-scented minerality and freshness to balance. It’s an excellent choice to serve as a cocktail on its own, but with food it shines. Scallops, lobster in butter, pasta in cream sauce with mushrooms and soft cheeses are all ideal partners to this elegant pour. (2018 is the current vintage)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mettlerwine.com/product/2017-Petite-Sirah?pageID=6954ADF3-9DB4-0CE3-1BED-D0EA5FF8AB89&sortBy=DisplayOrder&maxRows=12&\">2017 Mettler Family Vineyards Petite Sirah\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen you want a powerful, jammy red look no further than Petite Sirah…it’s anything BUT petite. This red from the lauded grape-growing Mettler family, is unapologetically lush and saturated with dark fruit flavors. It ends with a kick of black pepper notes on the finish that keeps the full-bodied fruitiness in check. Grab a rack of ribs and settle in with a glass of this wine for a decadent night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.3fingerjack.com/global/2016_2017_Lodi_Cabernet_Sauvignon.html#2017lodi\">2017 Three Finger Jack ‘East Side Ridge’ Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California $22\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat a fun wine. The appealing bottle is what first catches your eye as its shape harkens to another era. It’s named for an outlaw, Three Finger Jack, who roamed California during the Gold Rush. Crafted from mostly Cabernet Sauvignon accented by Petite Sirah, Malbec and Merlot, it’s an offbeat blend with a bold taste. Hearty, spicy, full-bodied and ultra-smooth, you can saddle up next to a steak, pour yourself a glass, and toast the old days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20824 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank recommended by host Leslie Sbrocco. \u003ccite>(Maya Wise/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

Next, from Season 12, it’s off to The Brazen Head in San Francisco, an old-school neighborhood bar that serves nothin’-fancy pub grub late into the night.

A dry rosé made primarily from Chile’s signature red grape, Carmenere, with a dash of Syrah, it’s crisp, succulent and goes down easy. It’s also pretty to look at from the label to the wine.

Albariño is known in western Spain’s Galicia region for producing crisp yet complex whites. In California there are only a few hundred acres planted. Mettler’s version is one of the best. Crisp, aromatic and still sporting a rich texture, it’s a wine to pour in place of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Salud!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lacrema.com/wine/russian-river-chardonnay/\">2017 La Crema Chardonnay\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, $30\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nLa Crema is a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir specialist. Though crafting numerous versions of both varieties from various wine-growing regions, this Chardonnay is my favorite. It captures both richness coming from oak barrel fermentation and aging, but with a core of citrus-scented minerality and freshness to balance. It’s an excellent choice to serve as a cocktail on its own, but with food it shines. Scallops, lobster in butter, pasta in cream sauce with mushrooms and soft cheeses are all ideal partners to this elegant pour. (2018 is the current vintage)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mettlerwine.com/product/2017-Petite-Sirah?pageID=6954ADF3-9DB4-0CE3-1BED-D0EA5FF8AB89&sortBy=DisplayOrder&maxRows=12&\">2017 Mettler Family Vineyards Petite Sirah\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen you want a powerful, jammy red look no further than Petite Sirah…it’s anything BUT petite. This red from the lauded grape-growing Mettler family, is unapologetically lush and saturated with dark fruit flavors. It ends with a kick of black pepper notes on the finish that keeps the full-bodied fruitiness in check. Grab a rack of ribs and settle in with a glass of this wine for a decadent night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.3fingerjack.com/global/2016_2017_Lodi_Cabernet_Sauvignon.html#2017lodi\">2017 Three Finger Jack ‘East Side Ridge’ Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California $22\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat a fun wine. The appealing bottle is what first catches your eye as its shape harkens to another era. It’s named for an outlaw, Three Finger Jack, who roamed California during the Gold Rush. Crafted from mostly Cabernet Sauvignon accented by Petite Sirah, Malbec and Merlot, it’s an offbeat blend with a bold taste. Hearty, spicy, full-bodied and ultra-smooth, you can saddle up next to a steak, pour yourself a glass, and toast the old days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20824 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank recommended by host Leslie Sbrocco. \u003ccite>(Maya Wise/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

It’s not Champagne (that only comes from the region of the same name in France), rather it’s French Crémant, which refers to sparkling wines made from around the country. This one happens to hail from the southern part of France where sparkling wine originated in 1531. Faire La Fête basically means having a party, so whether you’re toasting Tuesday night takeout for yourself or a Saturday soirée with friends, raise a glass of this crisp, fruity fizz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.emeritusvineyards.com/Hallberg\">2018 Emeritus Vineyards, ‘Hallberg Blanc’ Pinot Noir\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, $40\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nEmeritus is a new class of classic when it comes to California Pinot Noir. It was founded in 1999 by famed vintner, Brice Cutrer Jones, after he sold Sonoma-Cutrer and bought Hallberg Ranch. A Pinot Noir master, Jones has crafted a version like no other with the Hallberg Blanc. It represents the best of both worlds because he’s made a white wine from red grapes. How? The juice is gently extracted from the red Pinot Noir grapes with little skin contact, which is the thing that imparts the purple hue to red wines. With melon and peach aromas, a kiss of oak richness and a sultry texture, it’s one of the best wines I’ve sipped all year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://lovejadot.com/macon-villages-chardonnay/\">2018 Louis Jadot Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Burgundy, France, $16\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen it comes to well-priced Chardonnay with finesse, you can’t beat this wine from the noted house of Louis Jadot in Burgundy, France. Coming from the south of Burgundy in an area called the Mâconnais, it’s a fruit-driven Chardonnay capturing a streak of minerality from the vineyards’ limestone soils. No oak is used to make the wines making the purity of the citrus and stone fruit shine through. An all-purpose white, you can pair it with a brunch egg casserole, a lunch goat cheese salad or dinner rotisserie chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://spottswoode.com/spottswoode-wines/estate-cabernet-sauvignon/\">2016 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, $225\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>Spottswoode ranks among the top wine producers in the world. For four decades they have consistently crafted cellar-worthy, but still enjoyable-upon-release Cabernets that define the best of Napa Valley. Their 2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception. Uncorking it now allows for immediate indulgence in this silky red with seamless balance. But, aging for a few years will help the wine open up gracefully exposing even more complexity and elegance. The Novak women – Mary and Beth and Lindy – have been an inspiration to so many in the wine business. Not only did founder Mary Novak pass on her love of Spottswoode to her daughters, Beth and Lindy, who are now in charge, but with quiet strength she helped shape the historic property into the lauded star it is today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://monkey47.com/the-schwarzwald-dna\">Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Germany (375 ml), $45\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a gin lover, I appreciate the character of each gin. Much like a beautiful necklace crafted with a variety of stones pieced together to make a whole, gins use various blends of botanicals to achieve their final style. That’s why I adore Monkey 47 Gin. It’s exotic and distinct, but also simply delicious to sip. Made in Germany’s Black Forest using natural spring water from the area, they also utilize local ingredients such as lingonberries, angelica root and acacia flowers. These are only some of the 47 botanicals used, which impart its powerful and magnetic charm. Though it’s a serious spirit, the name and label are an ode to Max the Monkey who dominates the whimsical website and brand story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20806\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20806\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 12. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

It was founded in 1999 by famed vintner, Brice Cutrer Jones, after he sold Sonoma-Cutrer and bought Hallberg Ranch. A Pinot Noir master, Jones has crafted a version like no other with the Hallberg Blanc. It represents the best of both worlds because he’s made a white wine from red grapes. How? The juice is gently extracted from the red Pinot Noir grapes with little skin contact, which is the thing that imparts the purple hue to red wines. With melon and peach aromas, a kiss of oak richness and a sultry texture, it’s one of the best wines I’ve sipped all year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://lovejadot.com/macon-villages-chardonnay/\">2018 Louis Jadot Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Burgundy, France, $16\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen it comes to well-priced Chardonnay with finesse, you can’t beat this wine from the noted house of Louis Jadot in Burgundy, France. Coming from the south of Burgundy in an area called the Mâconnais, it’s a fruit-driven Chardonnay capturing a streak of minerality from the vineyards’ limestone soils. No oak is used to make the wines making the purity of the citrus and stone fruit shine through. An all-purpose white, you can pair it with a brunch egg casserole, a lunch goat cheese salad or dinner rotisserie chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://spottswoode.com/spottswoode-wines/estate-cabernet-sauvignon/\">2016 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, $225\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>Spottswoode ranks among the top wine producers in the world. For four decades they have consistently crafted cellar-worthy, but still enjoyable-upon-release Cabernets that define the best of Napa Valley. Their 2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception. Uncorking it now allows for immediate indulgence in this silky red with seamless balance. But, aging for a few years will help the wine open up gracefully exposing even more complexity and elegance. The Novak women – Mary and Beth and Lindy – have been an inspiration to so many in the wine business. Not only did founder Mary Novak pass on her love of Spottswoode to her daughters, Beth and Lindy, who are now in charge, but with quiet strength she helped shape the historic property into the lauded star it is today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://monkey47.com/the-schwarzwald-dna\">Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Germany (375 ml), $45\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a gin lover, I appreciate the character of each gin. Much like a beautiful necklace crafted with a variety of stones pieced together to make a whole, gins use various blends of botanicals to achieve their final style. That’s why I adore Monkey 47 Gin. It’s exotic and distinct, but also simply delicious to sip. Made in Germany’s Black Forest using natural spring water from the area, they also utilize local ingredients such as lingonberries, angelica root and acacia flowers. These are only some of the 47 botanicals used, which impart its powerful and magnetic charm. Though it’s a serious spirit, the name and label are an ode to Max the Monkey who dominates the whimsical website and brand story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20806\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20806\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1512_wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 12. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

Sure, their signature Blanc de Blancs is complex and classy, but mostly it’s just a joy to sip. The historic house dates to 1760, so they’ve had a few hundred years to get things right…and right they do. This sparkler is made from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in the famed chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. Matured for years in bottle to gain creamy complexity, its tightly-wound core of minerality is draped with lemon crème lushness. Treat yourself to this treasure of pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.zoninusa.com/estate/tenuta-ca-bolani/\">2018 Ca’ Bolani Pinot Grigio\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Friuli Aquileia, Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA refreshingly crisp Pinot Grigio coming from an area between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea in Italy. This bucolic wine region is known for producing whites of purity and food-friendly zestiness. Tenuta Ca’Bolani encompasses the largest single vineyard in northeastern Italy and nearly 1,000 cypress trees surround the estate. The beauty of the place certainly translates to this wine. If you’re a lover of Pinot Grigio, it’s an affordable choice that over-delivers on quality. Layers of lemony flavor and a ping of minerality define the wine. Try with grilled fish, summer salads, fresh cheeses, or simply by sitting in the sunshine and enjoying life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé Toscana IGT\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nStylish packaging and an artful label with Michelangelo imagery is what catches your eye with this wine. However, the deliciously elegant pink inside is the reason to buy it. Italian Rosé is less prominent in the United States, which focuses on versions from the south of France and Spain. But, Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé is an example of why you should seek out the spicy yet delicate versions from Tuscany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/prodotto/44/lefocaie\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Le Focaie’ Maremma Toscana DOC\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSangiovese is the star red grape in central Italy’s region of Tuscany. American wine drinkers know and love Tuscan Chianti but are often less familiar with the wines of the Maremma area in coastal, southwestern Tuscany. The iconic Italian wine family, Zonin, owns the stunning Rocca di Montemassi estate where it crafts world-class wines. This Sangiovese-focused red captures the grape variety’s grippy spiciness and wraps it in lush, dark fruit flavors. What a value! I consider it a wine worth twice the price. Spanning the pairing spectrum, it goes with fancy fare like filet mignon as easily as it does with casual burgers or pizza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schradercellars.com/double-diamond\">2017 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oakville, Napa Valley, California, $70\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen the family-owned Napa Valley producer, Schrader Cellars, released their first Double Diamond in 2001 it was a success. The boutique winery is heralded for age-worthy, world-class bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, so that was no surprise. But then there was a hiatus in production and the favored wine returned only recently.

Sure, their signature Blanc de Blancs is complex and classy, but mostly it’s just a joy to sip. The historic house dates to 1760, so they’ve had a few hundred years to get things right…and right they do. This sparkler is made from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in the famed chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. Matured for years in bottle to gain creamy complexity, its tightly-wound core of minerality is draped with lemon crème lushness. Treat yourself to this treasure of pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This bucolic wine region is known for producing whites of purity and food-friendly zestiness. Tenuta Ca’Bolani encompasses the largest single vineyard in northeastern Italy and nearly 1,000 cypress trees surround the estate. The beauty of the place certainly translates to this wine. If you’re a lover of Pinot Grigio, it’s an affordable choice that over-delivers on quality. Layers of lemony flavor and a ping of minerality define the wine. Try with grilled fish, summer salads, fresh cheeses, or simply by sitting in the sunshine and enjoying life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé Toscana IGT\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nStylish packaging and an artful label with Michelangelo imagery is what catches your eye with this wine. However, the deliciously elegant pink inside is the reason to buy it. Italian Rosé is less prominent in the United States, which focuses on versions from the south of France and Spain. But, Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé is an example of why you should seek out the spicy yet delicate versions from Tuscany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/prodotto/44/lefocaie\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Le Focaie’ Maremma Toscana DOC\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSangiovese is the star red grape in central Italy’s region of Tuscany. American wine drinkers know and love Tuscan Chianti but are often less familiar with the wines of the Maremma area in coastal, southwestern Tuscany. The iconic Italian wine family, Zonin, owns the stunning Rocca di Montemassi estate where it crafts world-class wines. This Sangiovese-focused red captures the grape variety’s grippy spiciness and wraps it in lush, dark fruit flavors. What a value! I consider it a wine worth twice the price. Spanning the pairing spectrum, it goes with fancy fare like filet mignon as easily as it does with casual burgers or pizza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schradercellars.com/double-diamond\">2017 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oakville, Napa Valley, California, $70\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen the family-owned Napa Valley producer, Schrader Cellars, released their first Double Diamond in 2001 it was a success. The boutique winery is heralded for age-worthy, world-class bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, so that was no surprise. But then there was a hiatus in production and the favored wine returned only recently. This 2017 bottling is made by winemaker, Thomas Brown, from fruit grown exclusively in Napa’s Oakville appellation. Its rich, full bodied flair is complemented by a supple structure and concentrated dark fruit notes. It’s a wine to age for a decade, but why wait?

It refers to sparkling wine produced in regions of France that aren’t in Champagne (yes, Champagne is a wine AND a place). These include Crémant de Loire, Alsace and Bourgogne. Crémant de Limoux, however, is the most important to know because it’s where France’s original sparkling wine – dating back to 1531 – was made. This pale pink sparkler is mostly Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc with Pinot Noir made in their original Méthode Traditionnelle (bubbles created in the bottle). Its succulent berry fruit notes are balanced with a soft effervesce that says, “party in a glass.” Pop this affordable find with sushi, satay skewers, or a charcuterie platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.globalvineyard.com/calcu/\">\u003cstrong>2019 Calcu Reserva Especial Rosé\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Colchagua Valley, Chile, $13\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nOne of the best-value pink wines on the market every year comes from Calcu. It’s a hidden gem from Chile’s Colchagua Valley. The name refers to the local language’s word for “a healing doctor” and the wines reflect this unique place. Calcu’s rosé is made with mostly Malbec and a dash of Petite Verdot crafted into a dry, delicate garnet wine. You will want to stock up on this beauty as it’s the ultimate in summer sipping. Fresh enough for an afternoon glass on the patio but flavorful enough to pair with flank steak and roast chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blackstallionwinery.com/all-wines?page=2\">\u003cstrong>2016 Black Stallion ‘Gaspare Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley, California, $75\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen Gaspare and Caterina Indelicato arrived to America from Sicily in 1924, they started growing grapes in central California. Their family eventually built a wine empire known as Delicato Family Wines. Their Gaspare Vineyard anchors the property and this 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyard is made in tribute to the family’s patriarch. Rich and bold with intense dark fruit flavors, it sports enough acidity and structure to age for a decade, but it’s also drinkable now. The tannins will pair well with a grilled steak or blue cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blackstallionwinery.com/product?productid=EB6DBC71-D4B6-B1DC-EA9B-BEEA219EE7B0\">\u003cstrong>2018 Black Stallion Heritage Chardonnay\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Napa Valley, California, $22\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of one of California’s iconic wine brands, Delicato, I’ve been taken with their latest endeavor, Black Stallion. Their Heritage bottling is well-priced, well-balanced, well-made and well…just delicious.

It refers to sparkling wine produced in regions of France that aren’t in Champagne (yes, Champagne is a wine AND a place). These include Crémant de Loire, Alsace and Bourgogne. Crémant de Limoux, however, is the most important to know because it’s where France’s original sparkling wine – dating back to 1531 – was made. This pale pink sparkler is mostly Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc with Pinot Noir made in their original Méthode Traditionnelle (bubbles created in the bottle). Its succulent berry fruit notes are balanced with a soft effervesce that says, “party in a glass.” Pop this affordable find with sushi, satay skewers, or a charcuterie platter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a hidden gem from Chile’s Colchagua Valley. The name refers to the local language’s word for “a healing doctor” and the wines reflect this unique place. Calcu’s rosé is made with mostly Malbec and a dash of Petite Verdot crafted into a dry, delicate garnet wine. You will want to stock up on this beauty as it’s the ultimate in summer sipping.

Their family eventually built a wine empire known as Delicato Family Wines. Their Gaspare Vineyard anchors the property and this 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyard is made in tribute to the family’s patriarch. Rich and bold with intense dark fruit flavors, it sports enough acidity and structure to age for a decade, but it’s also drinkable now. The tannins will pair well with a grilled steak or blue cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blackstallionwinery.com/product?productid=EB6DBC71-D4B6-B1DC-EA9B-BEEA219EE7B0\">\u003cstrong>2018 Black Stallion Heritage Chardonnay\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Napa Valley, California, $22\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of one of California’s iconic wine brands, Delicato, I’ve been taken with their latest endeavor, Black Stallion.

The area’s “anabatic winds” keep the vineyards cool, which allow the flavors of the grapes to gain complexity as they ripen slowly. The Sweazey family has created an oasis to take advantage of these climatic conditions that reminded founder, John Sweazey, of the Rhône Valley’s signature mistral winds. This dry-styled pink is a lovely expression of a Rhône variety, Grenache, with floral aromas and peachy juiciness. It’s complex and full of character. Note: the current vintage is 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.terlatovineyards.com/pinot-grigio\">\u003cstrong>2018 Terlato Vineyards Pinot Grigio\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fruili Colli Orientali, Italy, $25 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe Terlato family is famed in the wine world. They have spent more than 40 years seeking out and sharing discoveries with American drinkers. Though their portfolio includes lauded global names, I think of Terlato and Italy in the same breath. This regal Pinot Grigio focuses on the richness and depth the variety can achieve in northern Italy’s Friuli Colli Orientali region. With a streak of minerality and citrusy brightness, it showcases the sheer deliciousness of a serious Pinot Grigio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bodega-tapiz.com.ar/en/wines/zolo-wines\">\u003cstrong>2017 Zolo Reserve Cabernet Franc\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mendoza, Argentina, $21\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA beautifully built wine that defies its price tag, I recommend buying as much as you can find. When most people think of reds from Argentina, Malbec is what comes to mind. This wine, however, is made with only Cabernet Franc grapes grown high in Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Argentinean Fabián Valenzuela, along with Jean Claude Berrouet, a noted winemaker in France’s Pomerol region, share a pedigree for making world class Bordeaux-styled wines. The Zolo Cabernet Franc is smooth with sultry spice. Sure, it’s ideal with beef, but it’s also elegant enough to partner with roast chicken and even grilled swordfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mettlerwine.com/\">\u003cstrong>2017 Mettler Family Vineyards Old Vine ‘Epicenter’ Zinfandel\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA true family operation, the Mettler’s are iconic in the Lodi area of California. I’m a longtime fan of the region. Located in the Sacramento River Delta, Lodi has a warm Mediterranean climate but enjoys cooling breezes, which is a winning combination. Along with many century old-vine vineyards, it’s a unique spot. The Mettler’s have been grape growers in Lodi since the 1800s and are now on the 6th generation continuing the family business. To say they know how to grow and make Zinfandel – one of Lodi’s stars – is an understatement. This stunning red is rich and full-bodied, spicy and saturated with dark fruit notes. It’s an affordable luxury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hotalingandco.com/junipero/\">\u003cstrong>Hotaling & Company Junípero Gin\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>San Francisco, California, $40 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nGin is my jam when it comes to spirits. Yes, tequila is a favorite and so is whiskey, but for clear spirits, I’m a gin lover. This locally crafted bottling is all about power…San Francisco style. Its boozy power (98.6 proof!) makes it ideal for cocktails like martinis and negronis, but a simple gin and tonic takes on new dimensions with this spirit.

The area’s “anabatic winds” keep the vineyards cool, which allow the flavors of the grapes to gain complexity as they ripen slowly. The Sweazey family has created an oasis to take advantage of these climatic conditions that reminded founder, John Sweazey, of the Rhône Valley’s signature mistral winds. This dry-styled pink is a lovely expression of a Rhône variety, Grenache, with floral aromas and peachy juiciness. It’s complex and full of character. Note: the current vintage is 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They have spent more than 40 years seeking out and sharing discoveries with American drinkers. Though their portfolio includes lauded global names, I think of Terlato and Italy in the same breath. This regal Pinot Grigio focuses on the richness and depth the variety can achieve in northern Italy’s Friuli Colli Orientali region. With a streak of minerality and citrusy brightness, it showcases the sheer deliciousness of a serious Pinot Grigio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bodega-tapiz.com.ar/en/wines/zolo-wines\">\u003cstrong>2017 Zolo Reserve Cabernet Franc\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mendoza, Argentina, $21\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA beautifully built wine that defies its price tag, I recommend buying as much as you can find. When most people think of reds from Argentina, Malbec is what comes to mind. This wine, however, is made with only Cabernet Franc grapes grown high in Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Argentinean Fabián Valenzuela, along with Jean Claude Berrouet, a noted winemaker in France’s Pomerol region, share a pedigree for making world class Bordeaux-styled wines. The Zolo Cabernet Franc is smooth with sultry spice. Sure, it’s ideal with beef, but it’s also elegant enough to partner with roast chicken and even grilled swordfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mettlerwine.com/\">\u003cstrong>2017 Mettler Family Vineyards Old Vine ‘Epicenter’ Zinfandel\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA true family operation, the Mettler’s are iconic in the Lodi area of California. I’m a longtime fan of the region. Located in the Sacramento River Delta, Lodi has a warm Mediterranean climate but enjoys cooling breezes, which is a winning combination. Along with many century old-vine vineyards, it’s a unique spot. The Mettler’s have been grape growers in Lodi since the 1800s and are now on the 6th generation continuing the family business. To say they know how to grow and make Zinfandel – one of Lodi’s stars – is an understatement. This stunning red is rich and full-bodied, spicy and saturated with dark fruit notes. It’s an affordable luxury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hotalingandco.com/junipero/\">\u003cstrong>Hotaling & Company Junípero Gin\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>San Francisco, California, $40 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nGin is my jam when it comes to spirits. Yes, tequila is a favorite and so is whiskey, but for clear spirits, I’m a gin lover. This locally crafted bottling is all about power…San Francisco style. Its boozy power (98.6 proof!) makes it ideal for cocktails like martinis and negronis, but a simple gin and tonic takes on new dimensions with this spirit. Comprised of 12 botanicals, Junípero is juniper-forward with focused intensity. A true San Francisco treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20692\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20692\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 8. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

They’re generally not as familiar, however, with the historic spot in Northern Italy where many of the best versions are produced: Valdobbiadene. The area’s steep hillside vineyards are a picturesque patchwork of green against a pristine blue sky. Planted to the variety, Glera, these white grapes give Prosecco its aromatic succulence. Bellenda Winery’s ‘Prima’ is flavorful fizz. Affordable yet impressive, it’s a stylish Prosecco ideal for special occasions or everyday sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.clarendelle.com/en/la-famille-clarendelle/clarendelle-blanc/\">2018 Clarendelle Bordeaux Blanc\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Bordeaux, France, $20\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt’s a treat to indulge in wines from one of Bordeaux’s famed names at a price that pleases. As owners of the classic (and expensive) first-growth, Château Haut-Brion, the Dillon family’s Clarence Dillon négociant wines are inspired by the great house. The Clarendelle line offers top-notch value with a focus on quality. This dry, elegant white wine is a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Light and lemon-scented with a hint of honeyed richness, I call it a “twice-the-price” wine as its worth double the price tag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.villamatilde.it/en/rocca-dei-leoni.php\">2018 Villa Matilde ‘Rocca Dei Leoni’ Falanghina, Campania IGP\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nItaly, $20\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nItalian whites are some of my global favorites because they blend the ping of food-friendly freshness with unique minerally notes. In other words, they’re wines with more complexity than just fruitiness. This crisp white is made from a grape called Falanghina (pronounced fal-en-gheena). It’s hails from the southern Italian region of Campania surrounding the city of Naples where pizza was born. Try alongside a pesto-laden vegetable pie and take a sip-trip to Italia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.travelingvineyard.com/guide/shop/product/PSR107/\">\u003cstrong>2018 5 String Partner’s Reserve Petite Sirah\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Paso Robles, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of reds from California’s Paso Robles region on the state’s Central Coast, this lush wine is a crowd-pleaser. Don’t let the petite in the name fool you, this is a hearty big red. The grape variety produces powerful wines with peppery notes and full-bodied flair. As the Director of Sommology for Traveling Vineyard, I recommend pairing this wine with pulled pork in a sweet/spicy barbeque sauce topped with crunchy coleslaw. The combination will warm your heart with palate-pleasing deliciousness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ginmare.com/en/\">Gin Mare Mediterranean Gin\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Spain, $40\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nImagine gazing at pure blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea while sipping a gin cocktail and basking in sunshine on the Costa Brava. Well, this unique gin will take you there. It’s a virtual vacation in a glass. What makes it special? Hailing from Spain, the botanicals Gin Mare uses are a cornucopia of aromas from around the Mediterranean basin. Thyme from Turkey, rosemary from Greece, Spanish olives and Italian basil impart savory notes that I adore but rarely find in gin. It’s the ideal base for two of my go-to cocktails, a Negroni and a Martini.

They’re generally not as familiar, however, with the historic spot in Northern Italy where many of the best versions are produced: Valdobbiadene. The area’s steep hillside vineyards are a picturesque patchwork of green against a pristine blue sky. Planted to the variety, Glera, these white grapes give Prosecco its aromatic succulence. Bellenda Winery’s ‘Prima’ is flavorful fizz. Affordable yet impressive, it’s a stylish Prosecco ideal for special occasions or everyday sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.clarendelle.com/en/la-famille-clarendelle/clarendelle-blanc/\">2018 Clarendelle Bordeaux Blanc\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Bordeaux, France, $20\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIt’s a treat to indulge in wines from one of Bordeaux’s famed names at a price that pleases. As owners of the classic (and expensive) first-growth, Château Haut-Brion, the Dillon family’s Clarence Dillon négociant wines are inspired by the great house. The Clarendelle line offers top-notch value with a focus on quality. This dry, elegant white wine is a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Light and lemon-scented with a hint of honeyed richness, I call it a “twice-the-price” wine as its worth double the price tag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.villamatilde.it/en/rocca-dei-leoni.php\">2018 Villa Matilde ‘Rocca Dei Leoni’ Falanghina, Campania IGP\u003c/a> \u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nItaly, $20\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nItalian whites are some of my global favorites because they blend the ping of food-friendly freshness with unique minerally notes. In other words, they’re wines with more complexity than just fruitiness. This crisp white is made from a grape called Falanghina (pronounced fal-en-gheena). It’s hails from the southern Italian region of Campania surrounding the city of Naples where pizza was born. Try alongside a pesto-laden vegetable pie and take a sip-trip to Italia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.travelingvineyard.com/guide/shop/product/PSR107/\">\u003cstrong>2018 5 String Partner’s Reserve Petite Sirah\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Paso Robles, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of reds from California’s Paso Robles region on the state’s Central Coast, this lush wine is a crowd-pleaser. Don’t let the petite in the name fool you, this is a hearty big red. The grape variety produces powerful wines with peppery notes and full-bodied flair. As the Director of Sommology for Traveling Vineyard, I recommend pairing this wine with pulled pork in a sweet/spicy barbeque sauce topped with crunchy coleslaw. The combination will warm your heart with palate-pleasing deliciousness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ginmare.com/en/\">Gin Mare Mediterranean Gin\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Spain, $40\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nImagine gazing at pure blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea while sipping a gin cocktail and basking in sunshine on the Costa Brava. Well, this unique gin will take you there. It’s a virtual vacation in a glass. What makes it special? Hailing from Spain, the botanicals Gin Mare uses are a cornucopia of aromas from around the Mediterranean basin. Thyme from Turkey, rosemary from Greece, Spanish olives and Italian basil impart savory notes that I adore but rarely find in gin. It’s the ideal base for two of my go-to cocktails, a Negroni and a Martini.

A venerable producer with century-old Rioja roots, Faustino’s fizz is one to put on your shopping list. Their rosado is made from red garnacha grapes, imparting a deep pink hue. Fruity but dry in style, the reserva is a pairing for spring salads, grilled fish and relaxed Sunday brunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cliffamily.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 Clif Family Winery Viognier\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Napa Valley, California, $32\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nIf you’re thinking the name sounds familiar, you’re right. The owners of this Napa Valley-based operation, Gary Erikson and Kit Crawford, have family ties to the Clif Bar energy food empire. The wines reflect a commitment to their philosophy of respecting natural resources and enjoying wine with simply prepared, healthy meals. This lovely, limited-edition viognier captures the white grape variety’s floral aromatics and spicy finish. It’s ideal paired with curry dishes and creamy cheeses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ponzivineyards.com/Shop/Our-Wines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>2017 Ponzi ‘Aurora Vineyard’ Chardonnay\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chehalem Mountains, Oregon, $65\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe Ponzi family is celebrating 50 years of making wine in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Their ancestors helped create the Oregon wine industry, and now second-generation family members Luisa and Anna Maria run the business. With multiple tiers of wine, from affordable (try their pinot gris) to esoteric (arneis, anyone?), Ponzi is a brand that always overdelivers in quality. To splurge, try their ‘Aurora Vineyard’ Chardonnay hailing from decades-old plantings of Dijon clone vines. Its richly layered aromas pair with a kiss of creaminess on the palate and medium-bodied elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ponzivineyards.com/Shop/Our-Wines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2017 Ponzi ‘Avellana Vineyard’ Pinot Noir\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chehalem Mountains, Oregon, $105\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nFor a matched set that’s a nod to Burgundy’s influence on the Willamette Valley, pair the Ponzi chardonnay with the pinot noir. Their ‘Avellana Vineyard’ is planted to 20 different clones of pinot noir vines, which impart complexity and character to the final wine. Saturated with dark-berry fruit notes and anchored by spicy, savory touches, it’s a wine to drink now with braised beef or to cellar for up to a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://eu.heavensake.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>Heavensake Junmai 12 Sake\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Japan, $30\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSake is an underappreciated drink in this country. For heaven’s sake, I hope that changes with this silky sip—it’s delicious! A beverage often referred to as rice wine, sake is actually brewed more like beer since rice starch is converted into sugar, then fermented to alcohol. Quality sake is served slightly chilled and carries a designation such as junmai (pronounced june-my). Heavensake is a Franco-Japanese venture between French cellar master, Regis Camus, and a brewery in Japan. Their classy junmai 12 is low in alcohol (only 12 percent) so it’s light and oh-so-smooth. Superb with sushi, of course, but perfect as an aperitif after a long day’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20562\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20562 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 2.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 3. \u003ccite>(Anthonia Onyejekwe/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

The owners of this Napa Valley-based operation, Gary Erikson and Kit Crawford, have family ties to the Clif Bar energy food empire. The wines reflect a commitment to their philosophy of respecting natural resources and enjoying wine with simply prepared, healthy meals. This lovely, limited-edition viognier captures the white grape variety’s floral aromatics and spicy finish. It’s ideal paired with curry dishes and creamy cheeses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ponzivineyards.com/Shop/Our-Wines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>2017 Ponzi ‘Aurora Vineyard’ Chardonnay\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chehalem Mountains, Oregon, $65\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe Ponzi family is celebrating 50 years of making wine in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Their ancestors helped create the Oregon wine industry, and now second-generation family members Luisa and Anna Maria run the business. With multiple tiers of wine, from affordable (try their pinot gris) to esoteric (arneis, anyone?), Ponzi is a brand that always overdelivers in quality. To splurge, try their ‘Aurora Vineyard’ Chardonnay hailing from decades-old plantings of Dijon clone vines. Its richly layered aromas pair with a kiss of creaminess on the palate and medium-bodied elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ponzivineyards.com/Shop/Our-Wines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2017 Ponzi ‘Avellana Vineyard’ Pinot Noir\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chehalem Mountains, Oregon, $105\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nFor a matched set that’s a nod to Burgundy’s influence on the Willamette Valley, pair the Ponzi chardonnay with the pinot noir. Their ‘Avellana Vineyard’ is planted to 20 different clones of pinot noir vines, which impart complexity and character to the final wine. Saturated with dark-berry fruit notes and anchored by spicy, savory touches, it’s a wine to drink now with braised beef or to cellar for up to a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://eu.heavensake.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>Heavensake Junmai 12 Sake\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Japan, $30\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSake is an underappreciated drink in this country. For heaven’s sake, I hope that changes with this silky sip—it’s delicious! A beverage often referred to as rice wine, sake is actually brewed more like beer since rice starch is converted into sugar, then fermented to alcohol. Quality sake is served slightly chilled and carries a designation such as junmai (pronounced june-my). Heavensake is a Franco-Japanese venture between French cellar master, Regis Camus, and a brewery in Japan. Their classy junmai 12 is low in alcohol (only 12 percent) so it’s light and oh-so-smooth. Superb with sushi, of course, but perfect as an aperitif after a long day’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20562\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20562 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 2.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1503-E1-wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 3. \u003ccite>(Anthonia Onyejekwe/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

But, there’s also a serious side to this sparkler that offers not only a pleasing price tag, but the highest quality. This Prosecco is dubbed Superiore and hails from the region of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene (DOCG is a stamp of quality guaranteeing the origin of the wine). Sommariva’s deliciously juicy sparkler is made from the glera grape variety grown on the area’s steep hillsides about an hour’s drive from Venice.

The label is an ode to their 50 harvests in the Golden State. Winemaker Paul Scotto and Napa winemaking legend, Mitch Cosentino, have married nearly equal parts semillon and sauvignon blanc in a lusciously rich Bordeaux-style blend I call a “white wine for red wine lovers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.rameywine.com/wine-release/2016-chardonnay-rochioli-vineyard-russian-river-valley/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2016 Ramey Chardonnay, Rochioli Vineyard\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Russian River Valley, California, $65\u003c/i>\u003cbr>\nDavid Ramey is one of the noted names of California winemaking and the Rochioli family’s vineyards rank among the world’s best. Together, their talents result in this classy chardonnay. In “wine geek” speak, David uses native yeast for complexity. He lets the wine undergo full malolactic fermentation in oak barrels resting sur lie. What does this mean? Deliciousness. The Ramey chardonnay is a vibrant yet creamy, lemon-pie scented indulgence worthy of a splurge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"https://www.inglenook.com/Wines/cabernet-cask#2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nNapa Valley, California, $100\u003cbr>\nLike its owner, Francis Ford Coppola, whose movies are an homage to times past, this layered, lush and age-worthy Inglenook cabernet pays tribute to vintner John Daniel Jr. Back in 1941 he helped produce the famed Inglenook cabernet sauvignon with vine cuttings brought to California from Bordeaux by founder Gustave Niebaum.

Each gin is distinctive due to its particular distilling process and botanical blend. Gray Whale is one of the best gins I’ve ever savored. Why? Its complex, slightly herbal character is compelling. The texture is smooth and supple. But the story says it all. Appealingly packaged in an eye-catching blue bottle, this gin celebrates an ancient migratory route of gray whales in the Pacific. Their 12,000-mile journey from Baja to Mendocino, California is echoed in the gin’s botanical blend. Foraged limes from Baja, juniper from Big Sur, almonds from California’s Central Valley, fir trees from Sonoma, mint from Santa Cruz, and Pacific Ocean sea kelp are distilled to their elegant essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20533\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20533\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 2.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 2. \u003ccite>(Anthonia Onyejekwe/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

The label is an ode to their 50 harvests in the Golden State. Winemaker Paul Scotto and Napa winemaking legend, Mitch Cosentino, have married nearly equal parts semillon and sauvignon blanc in a lusciously rich Bordeaux-style blend I call a “white wine for red wine lovers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.rameywine.com/wine-release/2016-chardonnay-rochioli-vineyard-russian-river-valley/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2016 Ramey Chardonnay, Rochioli Vineyard\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Russian River Valley, California, $65\u003c/i>\u003cbr>\nDavid Ramey is one of the noted names of California winemaking and the Rochioli family’s vineyards rank among the world’s best. Together, their talents result in this classy chardonnay. In “wine geek” speak, David uses native yeast for complexity. He lets the wine undergo full malolactic fermentation in oak barrels resting sur lie. What does this mean? Deliciousness. The Ramey chardonnay is a vibrant yet creamy, lemon-pie scented indulgence worthy of a splurge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003ca href=\"https://www.inglenook.com/Wines/cabernet-cask#2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nNapa Valley, California, $100\u003cbr>\nLike its owner, Francis Ford Coppola, whose movies are an homage to times past, this layered, lush and age-worthy Inglenook cabernet pays tribute to vintner John Daniel Jr. Back in 1941 he helped produce the famed Inglenook cabernet sauvignon with vine cuttings brought to California from Bordeaux by founder Gustave Niebaum. Today, the Napa Valley winery—lovingly restored by the Coppolas—is a must-see historical (and theatrical) destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.graywhalegin.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>Gray Whale Gin\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>California, $46\u003c/i>\u003cbr>\nAs a devoted gin fan, the allure of the spirit is taking an adventure with every sip. Each gin is distinctive due to its particular distilling process and botanical blend. Gray Whale is one of the best gins I’ve ever savored. Why? Its complex, slightly herbal character is compelling. The texture is smooth and supple. But the story says it all. Appealingly packaged in an eye-catching blue bottle, this gin celebrates an ancient migratory route of gray whales in the Pacific. Their 12,000-mile journey from Baja to Mendocino, California is echoed in the gin’s botanical blend. Foraged limes from Baja, juniper from Big Sur, almonds from California’s Central Valley, fir trees from Sonoma, mint from Santa Cruz, and Pacific Ocean sea kelp are distilled to their elegant essence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20533\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20533\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 2.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/04/1502winepic-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 2. \u003ccite>(Anthonia Onyejekwe/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

First, because it’s sparkling wine and that always makes me happy. But more importantly, because Paula is a rare breed in California. Her father, Hanns Kornell, is a legendary pioneer of sparkling wine production in Napa Valley since 1958. After decades of dormancy, she has brought the family name back to where it belongs—on a bottle and in a flute. This stylish sparkler with citrus aromas and juicy flavors is primarily chardonnay with pinot noir. It’s vivacious and full of personality… just like Paula herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://raeburnwinery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2019 Raeburn Rosé\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Russian River Valley, California, $15\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a deep respect for nature and family, Derek Benham founded Raeburn Winery in 2012. His mother was a devoted naturalist, and he grew up in California with his hands in the dirt. Raeburn is an old English term meaning “the river where one goes to drink,” and \u003ci>drink\u003c/i> you will. This is a refreshingly fruity and appealingly affordable pink. The rosé is a blend of grapes, including pinot noir and grenache, made in a Provençal style that captures lightness and brightness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.edenrift.com/Story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2017 Eden Rift Estate Pinot Noir\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Cienega Valley, California, $48\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone who has visited well over a thousand worldwide wineries/vineyards in my career, I can honestly say that Eden Rift is one of the most dramatically beautiful I’ve ever seen. Owned by Burgundy lover Christian Pillsbury, it’s located in the little-known but historic Cienega Valley, south of San Jose. With close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the rolling hillsides blanketed with vineyards benefit from cooling breezes that keep the grapes happy. And pinot noir vines adore the ancient limestone and granitic soils of the property. The setting–along with talented winemaking–allows Eden Rift to produce wines of profound complexity. This silky wine is tinged with mineral notes and a dark berry fruit character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://toymakercellars.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2015 ToyMaker Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Napa Valley, California, $295\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to cult cabs from Napa Valley, there are a handful of bottles I think worthy of their price tags. This is one. Powerful and structured, it has the bones to age gracefully, but concentrated fruit notes and polished tannins create a suppleness that makes it deliciously approachable now. The unique project was born from the founder’s love of collecting both Bordeaux and toys (Marvel action figures, to be precise). Noted winemaker Martha McClellan has a passion for crafting world-class cabernet sauvignon, and the ToyMaker is a bold beauty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://michters.com/10-year-kentucky-straight-bourbon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>$120\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone who has read my reviews over the past seasons knows that I’m not only a bourbon and whiskey fan, but a Michter’s devotee. They can trace their heritage back to 1753, making them a rarity in American distilling. Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon is also a rarity. This limited-production bottling is hard to find, but oh-so worth the effort. It’s been voted at the top of Best American Whiskey lists and ranks high on my “swoon-worthy” whiskey scale. Seductive, sultry, smoky and smooth, the amber elixir gained its character by patiently aging in specially charred American white oak barrels. If you can’t find this particular bottle, explore Michter’s more available whiskeys. After one sip, you’ll understand why I’m enamored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In honor of \u003cem>Hamilton\u003c/em>, make sure to seek out the delicious \u003ca href=\"http://www.federalistwines.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Federalist\u003c/a> wines, which I sipped at the show’s San Francisco opening party.

First, because it’s sparkling wine and that always makes me happy. But more importantly, because Paula is a rare breed in California. Her father, Hanns Kornell, is a legendary pioneer of sparkling wine production in Napa Valley since 1958. After decades of dormancy, she has brought the family name back to where it belongs—on a bottle and in a flute. This stylish sparkler with citrus aromas and juicy flavors is primarily chardonnay with pinot noir. It’s vivacious and full of personality… just like Paula herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His mother was a devoted naturalist, and he grew up in California with his hands in the dirt. Raeburn is an old English term meaning “the river where one goes to drink,” and \u003ci>drink\u003c/i> you will. This is a refreshingly fruity and appealingly affordable pink. The rosé is a blend of grapes, including pinot noir and grenache, made in a Provençal style that captures lightness and brightness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.edenrift.com/Story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2017 Eden Rift Estate Pinot Noir\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Cienega Valley, California, $48\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone who has visited well over a thousand worldwide wineries/vineyards in my career, I can honestly say that Eden Rift is one of the most dramatically beautiful I’ve ever seen. Owned by Burgundy lover Christian Pillsbury, it’s located in the little-known but historic Cienega Valley, south of San Jose. With close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the rolling hillsides blanketed with vineyards benefit from cooling breezes that keep the grapes happy. And pinot noir vines adore the ancient limestone and granitic soils of the property. The setting–along with talented winemaking–allows Eden Rift to produce wines of profound complexity. This silky wine is tinged with mineral notes and a dark berry fruit character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://toymakercellars.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2015 ToyMaker Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Napa Valley, California, $295\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to cult cabs from Napa Valley, there are a handful of bottles I think worthy of their price tags. This is one. Powerful and structured, it has the bones to age gracefully, but concentrated fruit notes and polished tannins create a suppleness that makes it deliciously approachable now. The unique project was born from the founder’s love of collecting both Bordeaux and toys (Marvel action figures, to be precise). Noted winemaker Martha McClellan has a passion for crafting world-class cabernet sauvignon, and the ToyMaker is a bold beauty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://michters.com/10-year-kentucky-straight-bourbon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>Michter’s 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>$120\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone who has read my reviews over the past seasons knows that I’m not only a bourbon and whiskey fan, but a Michter’s devotee. They can trace their heritage back to 1753, making them a rarity in American distilling. Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon is also a rarity. This limited-production bottling is hard to find, but oh-so worth the effort. It’s been voted at the top of Best American Whiskey lists and ranks high on my “swoon-worthy” whiskey scale. Seductive, sultry, smoky and smooth, the amber elixir gained its character by patiently aging in specially charred American white oak barrels. If you can’t find this particular bottle, explore Michter’s more available whiskeys. After one sip, you’ll understand why I’m enamored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In honor of \u003cem>Hamilton\u003c/em>, make sure to seek out the delicious \u003ca href=\"http://www.federalistwines.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Federalist\u003c/a> wines, which I sipped at the show’s San Francisco opening party.
