Dry Creek Vineyard is a true California gem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19688\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19688\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 9.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1309-guests-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 9. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This deep-purple, slightly sweet red sparkling wine is a novelty to Americans. In Australia, however, sparkling Shiraz is a holiday classic. When it’s hot outside in December, they serve it ice cold with Christmas fare. Here in the States, I like to introduce red wine lovers to the unique bubbly paired alongside dark chocolate and tangy ribs slathered in barbecue sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.andrelurton.com/\">2016 Chateau Bonnet Rosé, Bordeaux, France $16\u003c/a> (2017 current vintage)\u003cbr>\nWith the popularity of pink wine these days, it’s worth looking outside the south of France for options. Bordeaux is a place to discover when it comes to Rosé. Several years ago I spent a week there enjoying Rosés in all styles from light to rich and pale to dark-hued. This example from Lurton is one of my favorites. Crafted from equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s medium-bodied with a garnet color. A dry, delicious pink wine ideal for year-round sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.talbottvineyards.com/\">2015 Talbott ‘Sleepy Hollow Vineyard’ Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands, California $42\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSince 1982, the Talbott family has been making iconic wines in Monterey County. Their Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir is an example of why the wines are known for their Burgundian-style but California heritage. It’s saturated with red-berry fruit notes underscored with earthy, spicy complexity. Add a medium-full body and supple texture, and you have a wine that’s the best of Old World influences with New World exuberance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://minerwines.com/\">2015 Miner Family ‘Emily’s’ Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California $50\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTo experience a family-run winery in Napa, make sure to stop at Oakville’s Miner. With family members firmly at the helm for more than 20 years, it is a winery that focuses on expressing the character of their Napa Valley vineyards. None of their wines does it better than the ‘Emily’s’ Cab, which is named to honor co-founder, Emily Miner. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon rounded out with Merlot and Petit Verdot, it’s an elegant red with a powerful personality. An age-worthy wine that can be cellared for a decade, it’s also smooth enough to decant and drink tonight. A portion of proceeds from this wine are donated to cancer research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19654\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 8.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 8. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Bordeaux is a place to discover when it comes to Rosé. Several years ago I spent a week there enjoying Rosés in all styles from light to rich and pale to dark-hued. This example from Lurton is one of my favorites. Crafted from equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s medium-bodied with a garnet color.

Their Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir is an example of why the wines are known for their Burgundian-style but California heritage. It’s saturated with red-berry fruit notes underscored with earthy, spicy complexity. Add a medium-full body and supple texture, and you have a wine that’s the best of Old World influences with New World exuberance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://minerwines.com/\">2015 Miner Family ‘Emily’s’ Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California $50\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTo experience a family-run winery in Napa, make sure to stop at Oakville’s Miner. With family members firmly at the helm for more than 20 years, it is a winery that focuses on expressing the character of their Napa Valley vineyards. None of their wines does it better than the ‘Emily’s’ Cab, which is named to honor co-founder, Emily Miner. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon rounded out with Merlot and Petit Verdot, it’s an elegant red with a powerful personality. An age-worthy wine that can be cellared for a decade, it’s also smooth enough to decant and drink tonight. A portion of proceeds from this wine are donated to cancer research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19654\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 8.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1308-guests-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 8. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Prosecco from northern Italy is ubiquitous, but not ones from the designated DOCG Valdobbiadene area. Located a few hours north of Venice, is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. For more than four decades the Rebuli family has been producing high-quality sparkling from this place (though they have been growing grapes for generations). Sporting a whisper of sweetness, which oddly enough is what the Extra Dry category means, the wine is crisp yet creamy with an appealing fruit-driven elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.frogsleap.com/\">2016 Frog’s Leap Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California $32\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have long been a fan of the wines from Frog’s Leap. With a Napa pedigree dating to 1980, the winery has always been about quality, authenticity, and a sense of fun. This balanced Chardonnay expresses the philosophy of letting the organically-grown grapes speak. Fermentation in oak barrels gives a richness, which is complemented by aging on the lees in concrete tanks. Its not about hitting you over the head with oak character, it’s about deftly crafting a wine that shows off purity of fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://windchaserwine.com\">2015 Windchaser Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, California $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhat do you name a winery that celebrates winemaker Dave Gifford’s passion for windsurfing? Windchaser, of course. This stylish Pinot Noir captures the rich, spiciness of grapes grown in Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. It’s a wine made with minimal intervention leaving the sense of place to shine through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chryseia.com/\">2015 Quinta de Roriz “Prazo de Roriz” Douro, Portugal $15\u003c/a> (current release is 2016)\u003cbr>\nIt’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Portuguese wine. And, not just the famed dessert sipper, Port. No, whether it’s sparkling wine from Bairrada or Alvarinho from Vinho Verde, distinctive wines abound in this small country. One of the most recognized producers of Port, the Symington family, is also hailed for their dry reds from the Douro Valley made in partnership with Bordeaux’s Bruno Prats. This great-value red blends mainly native grapes Touriga Franca, Touringa Nacional, and Tinta Roriz. Light and bright yet still substantial on the palate, it’s a wine to enjoy now or age up to five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.venusspirits.com/\">Venus Barrel Aged Gin Blend No. 2, California $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSean Venus – yes, his real name – is a distiller of small-batch spirits from whiskey to gin.

Prosecco from northern Italy is ubiquitous, but not ones from the designated DOCG Valdobbiadene area. Located a few hours north of Venice, is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. For more than four decades the Rebuli family has been producing high-quality sparkling from this place (though they have been growing grapes for generations). Sporting a whisper of sweetness, which oddly enough is what the Extra Dry category means, the wine is crisp yet creamy with an appealing fruit-driven elegance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With a Napa pedigree dating to 1980, the winery has always been about quality, authenticity, and a sense of fun. This balanced Chardonnay expresses the philosophy of letting the organically-grown grapes speak. Fermentation in oak barrels gives a richness, which is complemented by aging on the lees in concrete tanks. Its not about hitting you over the head with oak character, it’s about deftly crafting a wine that shows off purity of fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://windchaserwine.com\">2015 Windchaser Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, California $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhat do you name a winery that celebrates winemaker Dave Gifford’s passion for windsurfing? Windchaser, of course. This stylish Pinot Noir captures the rich, spiciness of grapes grown in Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. It’s a wine made with minimal intervention leaving the sense of place to shine through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chryseia.com/\">2015 Quinta de Roriz “Prazo de Roriz” Douro, Portugal $15\u003c/a> (current release is 2016)\u003cbr>\nIt’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Portuguese wine. And, not just the famed dessert sipper, Port. No, whether it’s sparkling wine from Bairrada or Alvarinho from Vinho Verde, distinctive wines abound in this small country. One of the most recognized producers of Port, the Symington family, is also hailed for their dry reds from the Douro Valley made in partnership with Bordeaux’s Bruno Prats. This great-value red blends mainly native grapes Touriga Franca, Touringa Nacional, and Tinta Roriz. Light and bright yet still substantial on the palate, it’s a wine to enjoy now or age up to five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.venusspirits.com/\">Venus Barrel Aged Gin Blend No. 2, California $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSean Venus – yes, his real name – is a distiller of small-batch spirits from whiskey to gin.

Find Gruet and buy, buy, buy. The French-bred Gruet family had been crafting Champagne in France, but on a trip to the States in the early 1980s, founder Gilbert Gruet fell in love with New Mexico. He took a leap of faith and planted vineyards. The family has now been creating sparkling and still wines for more than 25 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wine is a classic blend of mostly Pinot Noir with Chardonnay. It’s an appealing lightly pink-hued sparkler with a dry finish. Priced well below what international bubblies charge, this American-born wine made in the labor-intensive traditional Champagne method of ageing in bottle. It’s has a tremendous value-to-quality ratio and is one of the best bargains you will find in the wine world today. Period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bbvwine.com/wine-culture#vermentino\">2015 Barboursville Vineyards, Vermentino Reserve, Virginia $23\u003c/a> (current release is 2016)\u003cbr>\nOne of the things I love most about being a wine professional is the process of discovery. Tasting wines that I may have heard about but have yet to embrace is one of those discoveries. This is surely the case for Virginia wines. I have known for years that Virginia is producing high-quality wines. I have sampled some and been impressed. I put a visit to Virginia on my “to do” list years ago. This year I finally checked it off. What a beautiful, historic, emerging region for unique world-class wines. I can’t recommend it highly enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Located a few hours from Washington D.C., Barboursville Vineyards encompasses not only a winery, restaurant and inn, but the property showcases one of Thomas Jefferson’s architectural masterpieces. The winery was founded by Gianni Zonin of the well-known Italian wine family, Zonin. Winemaker Luca Paschina is also from Italy, so many of the wines celebrate their Italian heritage. The Vermentino is one such wine. Vermentino is a white grape hailing from Italy’s coastal regions of Liguria and Sardinia so it takes well to Virginia’s warm climate. This white has a full-bodied flair but is more earthy than fruity and more mineral than citrusy, but it still maintains a signature freshness. This Virginia wine will take you on a journey of discovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.camlowcellars.com/2014-release.html\">2014 Magna Porcum Pinot Noir, Green Valley of Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSonoma wine country is made of up wineries large, small, and very small. Camlow Cellars is a two-person operation that’s truly a passion project. Photographer, Alan Campbell, and winegrower, Craig Strehlow, paired up to make Pinot Noir with stuffing and elegance. Their Big Pig Vineyard (hence the Magna Porcum name) is the source for their flagship bottling. It’s a wine that’s lush and dark-fruited, but also light on its feet with spicy complexity. These wines sell out quickly, so you might want to sign up for their newsletter and – as the duo says – “join us in the pig pen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.villamassa.com/\">Villa Massa Limoncello of Sorrento, Italy $28\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nNot many Americans drink, or even know about limoncello. Made with Sorrento lemons, sugar and water, it’s a lemon-scented, richly-flavored classic liqueur. Villa Massa’s version is the best-selling limoncello in Italy and is making a splash on our shores now. The family recipe dates to 1890 and has been handed from generation to generation. Typically, you would sip a well-chilled glass of limoncello at the end of a meal as it’s very sweet. Drinking Villa Massa that way will certainty evoke the feeling of basking in stunning Sorrentine peninsula sunshine. But, I also like to use it in limoncello-based cocktails. Add a dash of sparkling wine and garnish of orange peel. Top it with tonic and a sprig of mint. You’ll be transported to Italy in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19512\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 6.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 6. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

I have known for years that Virginia is producing high-quality wines. I have sampled some and been impressed. I put a visit to Virginia on my “to do” list years ago. This year I finally checked it off. What a beautiful, historic, emerging region for unique world-class wines. I can’t recommend it highly enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Located a few hours from Washington D.C., Barboursville Vineyards encompasses not only a winery, restaurant and inn, but the property showcases one of Thomas Jefferson’s architectural masterpieces. The winery was founded by Gianni Zonin of the well-known Italian wine family, Zonin. Winemaker Luca Paschina is also from Italy, so many of the wines celebrate their Italian heritage. The Vermentino is one such wine. Vermentino is a white grape hailing from Italy’s coastal regions of Liguria and Sardinia so it takes well to Virginia’s warm climate. This white has a full-bodied flair but is more earthy than fruity and more mineral than citrusy, but it still maintains a signature freshness. This Virginia wine will take you on a journey of discovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.camlowcellars.com/2014-release.html\">2014 Magna Porcum Pinot Noir, Green Valley of Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSonoma wine country is made of up wineries large, small, and very small. Camlow Cellars is a two-person operation that’s truly a passion project. Photographer, Alan Campbell, and winegrower, Craig Strehlow, paired up to make Pinot Noir with stuffing and elegance. Their Big Pig Vineyard (hence the Magna Porcum name) is the source for their flagship bottling. It’s a wine that’s lush and dark-fruited, but also light on its feet with spicy complexity. These wines sell out quickly, so you might want to sign up for their newsletter and – as the duo says – “join us in the pig pen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.villamassa.com/\">Villa Massa Limoncello of Sorrento, Italy $28\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nNot many Americans drink, or even know about limoncello. Made with Sorrento lemons, sugar and water, it’s a lemon-scented, richly-flavored classic liqueur. Villa Massa’s version is the best-selling limoncello in Italy and is making a splash on our shores now. The family recipe dates to 1890 and has been handed from generation to generation. Typically, you would sip a well-chilled glass of limoncello at the end of a meal as it’s very sweet. Drinking Villa Massa that way will certainty evoke the feeling of basking in stunning Sorrentine peninsula sunshine. But, I also like to use it in limoncello-based cocktails. Add a dash of sparkling wine and garnish of orange peel. Top it with tonic and a sprig of mint. You’ll be transported to Italy in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19512\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19512\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 6.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/07/cp1306-wine3-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 6. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I will also share some \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/category/wine-tips/\">wine, beer and spirits tips\u003c/a> with each episode. This week I discuss: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/19327/check-please-bay-area-wine-tips-all-about-merlot\">Merlot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.enzaprosecco.com/our-wine.php\">Enza ‘Extra Dry’ Prosecco, DOC Italy $15\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen I think of Prosecco, I imagine a taste similar to Enza. Light, refreshing and juicy. This easy-drinking bubbly captures the friendliness of Prosecco at a price that pleases. Made from Glera grapes – the true name for the Prosecco grape variety – in north east Italy’s Prosecco DOC region, it’s a fun wine to sip on a summer day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mtbeautiful.com\">2016 Mt. Beautiful Sauvignon Blanc, North Canterbury, New Zealand $17\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe name of this winery describes its wine style – beautiful. Mt. Beautiful is located not in the familiar Marlborough region of New Zealand’s South Island. Rather, it’s situated further south in the North Canterbury region. Their range of wines all display a streak of elegance and restraint, but this Sauvignon Blanc truly displays the winery’s philosophy. Not overtly green and grassy, it captures the sun-splashed, citrus-scented fruitiness of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. A classy white. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lafite.com/en/the-collection/legende/the-wines/legende-saint-emilion/\">2014 Domaines Barons de Rothschild ‘Légende’ Saint-Emilion, France $35\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe name is lauded in the world of wine – Barons de Rothschild. Most often thought of with high-dollar amounts next to their wines, their Légende’ series is well-priced and educational. By that I mean the goal of the set of five wines is to showcase the diversity and personality of Bordeaux. From their easy-drinking Bordeaux Rouge and Blanc bottlings to the more focused appellation bottlings from the Left Bank classics of Médoc and Pauillac, drinkers can experience a sense of place in the glass. This stylish Right Bank red from Saint-Emilion is a traditional blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. Smooth and supple, it’s like drinking silk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pollakvineyards.com\">2015 Pollack Vineyards Cabernet Franc, Monticello, Virginia $30\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nCabernet Franc is a grape that I love. Known for creating the Right Bank beauties of Bordeaux’s Saint-Emilion region, it’s emerging as a go-to grape for varietal bottlings from California to Virginia. This one – from the small, family-owned Pollack Vineyards – is lush and ripe. It’s a new-world style from an old-world grape. For the price, it’s also a wine to seek out and enjoy now. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.suntorytokitime.com\">Suntory ‘Toki’ Japanese Whisky $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n With the popularity of Japanese whisky at an all-time high in this country, it’s time to discover the spirit. Suntory’s ‘Toki’ is one of my favorite bottles to drink and share with others. The House of Suntory was founded in 1923 and has created the rich history of Japanese whisky. ‘Toki’ means time in Japanese and the idea of heritage and tradition is captured in this spirit. Smooth and lighter in style with an alluring elegance, it’s a whisky I sip alone or top with ice, soda water and a twist of lemon zest for a classic Highball cocktail. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19336\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 5.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19336\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 5. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Light, refreshing and juicy. This easy-drinking bubbly captures the friendliness of Prosecco at a price that pleases. Made from Glera grapes – the true name for the Prosecco grape variety – in north east Italy’s Prosecco DOC region, it’s a fun wine to sip on a summer day. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Beautiful Sauvignon Blanc, North Canterbury, New Zealand $17\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe name of this winery describes its wine style – beautiful. Mt. Beautiful is located not in the familiar Marlborough region of New Zealand’s South Island. Rather, it’s situated further south in the North Canterbury region. Their range of wines all display a streak of elegance and restraint, but this Sauvignon Blanc truly displays the winery’s philosophy. Not overtly green and grassy, it captures the sun-splashed, citrus-scented fruitiness of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. A classy white. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lafite.com/en/the-collection/legende/the-wines/legende-saint-emilion/\">2014 Domaines Barons de Rothschild ‘Légende’ Saint-Emilion, France $35\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe name is lauded in the world of wine – Barons de Rothschild. Most often thought of with high-dollar amounts next to their wines, their Légende’ series is well-priced and educational. By that I mean the goal of the set of five wines is to showcase the diversity and personality of Bordeaux. From their easy-drinking Bordeaux Rouge and Blanc bottlings to the more focused appellation bottlings from the Left Bank classics of Médoc and Pauillac, drinkers can experience a sense of place in the glass. This stylish Right Bank red from Saint-Emilion is a traditional blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. Smooth and supple, it’s like drinking silk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pollakvineyards.com\">2015 Pollack Vineyards Cabernet Franc, Monticello, Virginia $30\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nCabernet Franc is a grape that I love. Known for creating the Right Bank beauties of Bordeaux’s Saint-Emilion region, it’s emerging as a go-to grape for varietal bottlings from California to Virginia. This one – from the small, family-owned Pollack Vineyards – is lush and ripe. It’s a new-world style from an old-world grape. For the price, it’s also a wine to seek out and enjoy now. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.suntorytokitime.com\">Suntory ‘Toki’ Japanese Whisky $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n With the popularity of Japanese whisky at an all-time high in this country, it’s time to discover the spirit. Suntory’s ‘Toki’ is one of my favorite bottles to drink and share with others. The House of Suntory was founded in 1923 and has created the rich history of Japanese whisky. ‘Toki’ means time in Japanese and the idea of heritage and tradition is captured in this spirit. Smooth and lighter in style with an alluring elegance, it’s a whisky I sip alone or top with ice, soda water and a twist of lemon zest for a classic Highball cocktail. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19336\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 5.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19336\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1305-group-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 5. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

As the originators of the Cava category, I think sparklers by Codorníu offer the best value proposition on the market. This Chardonnay-based bubbly honoring the heiress of the family, Anna, also uses the traditional Cava varieties, Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel·lo. It’s classy to look at and to drink. And, at this price, it’s a wine to keep on hand for daily pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thelarsenprojekt.com/\">2016 The Larsen Projekt Grenache Rosé, North Coast, California $18\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen Robert and Laura Larsen started their vinous passion project, they gave a nod to Robert’s Danish heritage (hence the spelling) and their shared love of Grenache. Add Laura’s artistic touch designing labels, and you get a collaboration worth seeking out.

These are wines to shout about. One of the superstars of my tasting was the Veritas. It is rare to bottle Petit Verdot alone and this one captures the rich, lushness of the red variety.

From the same team that makes the stylish Kikori Japanese Whisky, this citrus-scented sipper is made with yuzu fruit, rice and water. They describe yuzu as the “love child of lemon and mandarin with traces of grapefruit.” It’s tart. It’s sweet. It’s simply delicious. Add to gin and tonic, or top your whiskey. Yes, it is a mixer, but it also stands alone for those of us who love mouth-puckering freshness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19302\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19302\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 4.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1304-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 4. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

As the originators of the Cava category, I think sparklers by Codorníu offer the best value proposition on the market. This Chardonnay-based bubbly honoring the heiress of the family, Anna, also uses the traditional Cava varieties, Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel·lo. It’s classy to look at and to drink. And, at this price, it’s a wine to keep on hand for daily pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Complexity coupled with creamy crispness made me think I was sipping a high-end, grower Champagne. Well, that wasn’t too far from the truth. I was simply in the wrong country. This beautiful wine is from Virginia. That’s right…Virginia. A state now ranking high on my list of great wine regions in the United States. This bubbly is crafted by Claude Thibaut and Manuel Janisson, both of whom bring generations of tradition from their homeland of Champagne, France. (I knew Champagne had to figure in somewhere with this gorgeous wine.) Crafted from all chardonnay grapes in the traditional method, it’s a sparkling that deserves accolades. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mezzacorona.it/en-us/products/i-classici/pinot-grigio\">2017 Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio, Trentino DOC, Italy $11\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTypical Italian Pinot Grigio is like a good friend – fun and easy to enjoy. This Pinot Grigio, however, is more like your BEST friend – smart, stylish and full of character. Made from fruit grown in the shadow of the towering Italian Alps in a valley carved by the Adige river, this Pinot Grigio has intense citrus and apple flavors. There’s a mouth-watering mineral streak at its core and a lip-smacking finish that makes it ideal with food from fresh salads to tangy cheeses and light pasta dishes. I visited the Mezzacorona winery recently and fell in love with the beauty of the city of Trento and the surrounding area. I know this wine is crafted with care and more importantly, overdelivers on the price point. And, just like your best friend…it will always make you smile. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.antinori.it/en/26-generazioni/villa-antinori-chianti-classico-riserva-2013\">2013 Villa Antinori Chianti Classico DOCG Riserva, Italy $38\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen we speak of history in the wine world, hardly anything can compare to the 26 generations of Antinoris that have been producing wine since 1385. Their Chianti Classico Riserva demonstrates why they have been at the top of their game for so long. It’s a red wine with attitude and pedigree. Made from Sangiovese grapes with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the prized Chianti Classico zone in Tuscany, it’s been aged in barrel for several years and bottle since the fall of 2015. This extra ageing gives the elegantly earthy, tannic red time to relax into itself and express its layers of flavor and complexity. This is not a cocktail sipper. It’s a structured wine meant for the dinner table. Pair with braised meats, pasta with savory marinara sauce and pungent, aged cheeses. It’s a classic to stock your cellar by the bottle…or case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.refinddistillery.com/vodka-gin.html\">RE:FIND [e] VODKA FINISHED IN BARREL, Paso Robles, California $60\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of wines from the rugged Paso Robles wine region of California, I was duly impressed when I sampled the unique spirits from the owners of \u003ca href=\"http://www.villicanawinery.com\">Villicana Winery\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex and Monica Villicana are an entrepreneurial and creative duo who have been turning wine “leftovers” into liquid gold. The idea of RE:FIND began when the eco-conscious couple was looking for a way to use their saignée, or extra free run juice. They decided to turn wine in to vodka, and a business was born. They handcraft gin, vodka, bourbon, and more using grapes. This grape-based vodka is aged in barrels giving it a whisky-esque character with spicy, full-bodied flair. It’s worthy of drinking neat or in a top-notch cocktail. I hope you find RE:FIND. I’m sure you’ll be just as impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 3.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19256\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 3. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Their Chianti Classico Riserva demonstrates why they have been at the top of their game for so long. It’s a red wine with attitude and pedigree. Made from Sangiovese grapes with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the prized Chianti Classico zone in Tuscany, it’s been aged in barrel for several years and bottle since the fall of 2015. This extra ageing gives the elegantly earthy, tannic red time to relax into itself and express its layers of flavor and complexity. This is not a cocktail sipper. It’s a structured wine meant for the dinner table. Pair with braised meats, pasta with savory marinara sauce and pungent, aged cheeses. It’s a classic to stock your cellar by the bottle…or case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.refinddistillery.com/vodka-gin.html\">RE:FIND [e] VODKA FINISHED IN BARREL, Paso Robles, California $60\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of wines from the rugged Paso Robles wine region of California, I was duly impressed when I sampled the unique spirits from the owners of \u003ca href=\"http://www.villicanawinery.com\">Villicana Winery\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alex and Monica Villicana are an entrepreneurial and creative duo who have been turning wine “leftovers” into liquid gold. The idea of RE:FIND began when the eco-conscious couple was looking for a way to use their saignée, or extra free run juice. They decided to turn wine in to vodka, and a business was born. They handcraft gin, vodka, bourbon, and more using grapes. This grape-based vodka is aged in barrels giving it a whisky-esque character with spicy, full-bodied flair. It’s worthy of drinking neat or in a top-notch cocktail. I hope you find RE:FIND. I’m sure you’ll be just as impressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 3.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19256\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/cp1303-wine-set-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 3. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Packed with compelling richness layered with vibrancy, it’s a wine that serves up the unexpected. The white grape – Petit Manseng – is known in the French Jurancon region as one that begets sweeter wines pinging with acidity. Michael Shaps’ version is dry and full-bodied with lemon-custard-like decadence that still maintains an elusive sense of freshness. Michael is a talented winemaker on both sides of the pond crafting wine in not only Virginia, but also in Burgundy, France. This is a white to seek out for adventurous lovers of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://usa.mionetto.com/us/products/luxury-collection/cuvee-anniversario-1887-2017\">Mionetto ‘Cuvée Anniversario 1887-2017’ Brut Nature, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, Italy $25\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWant to impress a bubbly aficionado (that includes yourself, of course) but don’t want to spend a fortune for high-end Champagne? This is the wine for you. Beautifully presented in an elegant black bottle, it surprises in price, delights in taste, and delivers extraordinary quality. Mionetto is one of Italy’s best-known producers crafting sparkling wine since 1887. Valdobbiadene (pronounced Valdo-bee-AH-den-aye) is the prime area of the Prosecco zone located a few hours from Venice. It’s here that much of Italy’s best Prosecco is made. Mionetto’s ‘Cuvée Anniversario’ is one such Prosecco. Paying homage to the history of the property, it’s a bone dry but aromatically explosive sparkling that sports style and stature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chryseia.com/wines/post-scriptum/2015\">2015 P + S ‘Post Scriptum’ by Chryseia, Douro, Portugal $25\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen Portugal’s famed Symington family forged a partnership with one of France’s most regarded vintners – Bruno Prats of Chateau Cos d’Estournel – P + S was born. The team has focused on creating the most highly-regard dry wines from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The rugged region is known as home to grapes used for making Port. These same Port grapes (names such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz) can also produce world-class dry reds. Post Scriptum is one of the best value wines on the market today. By “value” I mean a wine that overdelivers in quality for the dollar amount. Post Scriptum is made with the second selection of grapes destined for the expensive P + S Chryseia, the company’s flagship red. Peppery, spicy, supple and structured, Post Scriptum is a concentrated beauty with power at a pleasing price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nikka.com/eng/products/pure-malt/taketsuru.html\">Nikka ‘Taketsuru Pure Malt’ Japanese Blended Malt Whisky, Japan $65\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhisky is hot. Whether you drink American Bourbon, Irish whiskey or Scotch, these brown spirits are on trend. Japanese whisky may just rank at the top of that trend list. If you’re not familiar with the category, the Nikka ‘Taketsuru Pure Malt’ is a perfect place to start your journey of discovery. A blended whisky that contains malt from several sources, as well as whisky aged in variety of casks, this smooth sipper is fruity with a hint of earthy complexity. It’s named in honor of the man considered the father of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru. He learned how to distill in Scotland and in 1920, brought his magic touch back to Japan to create the foundation of all Japanese whisky styles. This whisky is like an elegant silk scarf wrapping you in pure pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19197\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19197\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 2. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Packed with compelling richness layered with vibrancy, it’s a wine that serves up the unexpected. The white grape – Petit Manseng – is known in the French Jurancon region as one that begets sweeter wines pinging with acidity. Michael Shaps’ version is dry and full-bodied with lemon-custard-like decadence that still maintains an elusive sense of freshness. Michael is a talented winemaker on both sides of the pond crafting wine in not only Virginia, but also in Burgundy, France. This is a white to seek out for adventurous lovers of wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This is the wine for you. Beautifully presented in an elegant black bottle, it surprises in price, delights in taste, and delivers extraordinary quality. Mionetto is one of Italy’s best-known producers crafting sparkling wine since 1887. Valdobbiadene (pronounced Valdo-bee-AH-den-aye) is the prime area of the Prosecco zone located a few hours from Venice. It’s here that much of Italy’s best Prosecco is made. Mionetto’s ‘Cuvée Anniversario’ is one such Prosecco. Paying homage to the history of the property, it’s a bone dry but aromatically explosive sparkling that sports style and stature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chryseia.com/wines/post-scriptum/2015\">2015 P + S ‘Post Scriptum’ by Chryseia, Douro, Portugal $25\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen Portugal’s famed Symington family forged a partnership with one of France’s most regarded vintners – Bruno Prats of Chateau Cos d’Estournel – P + S was born. The team has focused on creating the most highly-regard dry wines from Portugal’s Douro Valley. The rugged region is known as home to grapes used for making Port. These same Port grapes (names such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz) can also produce world-class dry reds. Post Scriptum is one of the best value wines on the market today. By “value” I mean a wine that overdelivers in quality for the dollar amount. Post Scriptum is made with the second selection of grapes destined for the expensive P + S Chryseia, the company’s flagship red. Peppery, spicy, supple and structured, Post Scriptum is a concentrated beauty with power at a pleasing price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nikka.com/eng/products/pure-malt/taketsuru.html\">Nikka ‘Taketsuru Pure Malt’ Japanese Blended Malt Whisky, Japan $65\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhisky is hot. Whether you drink American Bourbon, Irish whiskey or Scotch, these brown spirits are on trend. Japanese whisky may just rank at the top of that trend list. If you’re not familiar with the category, the Nikka ‘Taketsuru Pure Malt’ is a perfect place to start your journey of discovery. A blended whisky that contains malt from several sources, as well as whisky aged in variety of casks, this smooth sipper is fruity with a hint of earthy complexity. It’s named in honor of the man considered the father of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru. He learned how to distill in Scotland and in 1920, brought his magic touch back to Japan to create the foundation of all Japanese whisky styles. This whisky is like an elegant silk scarf wrapping you in pure pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19197\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19197\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/05/1302-wine-on-set-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 2. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A cross between Grenache Gris and Muscat, it’s often made in an overly sweet style. Theopolis does it right, though. This crisp white wine captures the grape’s aromatic floral notes and fruity flavors, but balances them with racy acidity. It’s an ideal pairing with spicy curry dishes or Sunday brunch. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mulderbosch.com/\">2017 Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rose, Coastal region, South Africa $13\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nKnown as one of South Africa’s top producers, Mulderbosch makes a pink with power. This wine — made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes — sports a slightly deeper color than many other roses. Dark cherry fruit aromas jump from the glass followed by a refreshing kick of spice. While other pink wines are perfect for sipping alone, this one sings when matched alongside casual fare such as barbecue chicken, grilled portobello mushrooms or turkey burgers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.forknapa.com/\">2014 Fork in the Road Vineyards Pinot Noir, Los Carneros Napa Valley, California $68\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPinot Noir is a wine that should dance across your palate like a star on stage. Smooth, supple and effortless, this Pinot is just such a wine. Red berry and tea leaf aromas start the journey-in-a-glass that ends with dark cherry richness. It’s wine for a Saturday date-night splurge…or a treat to yourself any night of the week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.symington.com/\">2015 Vale do Bomfim, Douro DOC, Portugal $13\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nI am a big fan of dry Portuguese red wines and sipping Vale do Bomfim, it’s easy to see why — you can indulge in a powerhouse dry Douro red or get playful with this juicy, refreshing one. From the famed Port house of Dow, which is owned by the Symington family, this blend of unique red grapes is led by Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional. These grapes form the backbone of sweet Port wine, but when crafted in a dry style they showcase deeply-hued deliciousness. I enjoy the Bomfim slightly chilled with foods from piquant chili to grilled salmon smothered in sautéed mushrooms. It’s an affordable red wine to buy by the case for spring and summer drinking. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_19079\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 1.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19079\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2018/04/groupshot-wine-1301-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 13 episode 1. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",
