This week I discuss: \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2017/04/13/leslie-sbroccos-check-please-bay-area-season-12-wine-and-spirits-tips/\">Hard Cider.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shop.chroniccellars.com/product/Chronic-16-Pink-Pedals\">2016 Chronic Cellars ‘Pink Pedals’ Rosé, Paso Robles, California $15\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe idea behind Chronic Cellars is to make seriously killer wine without taking themselves too seriously. Winemakers, Josh and Jake Beckett, are Paso Robles locals who wanted to launch a brand focused on easy-sipping wines made with great grapes. They call their label designs “off-color-yet-full-of-color” and the blonde skeleton pedaling a bike on this pink makes a sassy statement. A wallop of Grenache grapes with a splash of Syrah makes a succulent, watermelon and green apple-scented, dry-styled rosé perfect to pedal your cares away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://loveblockwine.com/our-wines/pinot-gris/\">2013 Loveblock Pinot Gris, Marlborough, New Zealand $26\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nErica and Kim Crawford (yes, Kim is a man) helped create Americans’ love for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The duo also ranks among my favorite vintners from the land of the long white cloud. After selling their namesake wine brand, Kim Crawford, they embarked on a passion project and founded Loveblock. A blend of hillside and valley floor grapes give weightiness yet delicacy to this lovely Pinot Gris. If you aren’t familiar with Kiwi Pinot Gris (same grape as Pinot Grigio but oh so different), this is a wine that will make you fall in love with the variety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shop.longmeadowranch.com/product/2015-Chardonnay-Anderson-Valley\">2015 Long Meadow Ranch Chardonnay, Anderson Valley, California $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nLong Meadow Ranch is an historic Napa property that’s home to a family creating a unique culinary community. With more than 2,000 acres of grapes, olive trees and pastures to graze cows, Laddie, Ted and Chris Hall are making a difference in how food and wine are grown and enjoyed. (They also own Farmstead restaurant in Napa, which was highlighted in \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2017/05/25/check-please-bay-area-season-12-reviews-monkey-king-pub-and-grub-farmstead-at-long-meadow-ranch-grand-lake-kitchen/\">Check, Please! Bay Area episode 1207\u003c/a>). This Chardonnay hails from Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. It’s a region influenced by sunny days and cool nights. What results is Chardonnay with a ping of minerality paired with flavor-packed citrus fruit. It’s the style of Chardonnay that I crave – highly satisfying on the drinkability scale but also makes you appreciate and think about what’s in your glass. A winning combination for any wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.blackstallionwinery.com/content/black-stallion/en_us/our-wines/wines-by-varietal.html\">2014 Black Stallion Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California $26\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThere are impressive places to visit in Napa Valley, but one you might not have on your radar is Black Stallion. The winery’s name is an homage to its past as an equestrian center. The powerfully sleek statue of a stallion welcomes guests, while their signature Cabernet Sauvignon sports the same unbridled power wrapped in a polished package. Classic Cabernet aromas of dark berry and cocoa, along with a full-bodied texture, makes it a red for appreciators of Napa Valley Cab. I call it a “twice-the-price” wine as it’s worth double what you pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bodegavistalba.com/en/argentinian-wines/vistalba/vistalba-corte-b/2014/\">2014 Vistalba ‘Corte B’ Red Blend, Mendoza, Argentina $25\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nVintner, Carlos Pulenta, has a rich family history in the wine business dating back nearly a century. His vision for Vistalba, founded in 2001, was to continue the family focus and create the best possible wines from his property in the famed Mendoza region of Luján de Cuyo. Three blends – Corte A, B and C – lead the project showcasing the magical combination of mostly Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of local grape, Bonarda. The best value, in my opinion, is the Corte B. The other two wines (less and more expensive respectively), are full of character as well, but the Corte B highlights Malbec’s rugged intensity and fruit-forward appeal. The wine is complex and layered but approachable. It’s one of my top picks of 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18542\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 20.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18542\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 20. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

The duo also ranks among my favorite vintners from the land of the long white cloud. After selling their namesake wine brand, Kim Crawford, they embarked on a passion project and founded Loveblock. A blend of hillside and valley floor grapes give weightiness yet delicacy to this lovely Pinot Gris. If you aren’t familiar with Kiwi Pinot Gris (same grape as Pinot Grigio but oh so different), this is a wine that will make you fall in love with the variety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shop.longmeadowranch.com/product/2015-Chardonnay-Anderson-Valley\">2015 Long Meadow Ranch Chardonnay, Anderson Valley, California $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nLong Meadow Ranch is an historic Napa property that’s home to a family creating a unique culinary community. With more than 2,000 acres of grapes, olive trees and pastures to graze cows, Laddie, Ted and Chris Hall are making a difference in how food and wine are grown and enjoyed. (They also own Farmstead restaurant in Napa, which was highlighted in \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2017/05/25/check-please-bay-area-season-12-reviews-monkey-king-pub-and-grub-farmstead-at-long-meadow-ranch-grand-lake-kitchen/\">Check, Please! Bay Area episode 1207\u003c/a>). This Chardonnay hails from Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. It’s a region influenced by sunny days and cool nights. What results is Chardonnay with a ping of minerality paired with flavor-packed citrus fruit. It’s the style of Chardonnay that I crave – highly satisfying on the drinkability scale but also makes you appreciate and think about what’s in your glass. A winning combination for any wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.blackstallionwinery.com/content/black-stallion/en_us/our-wines/wines-by-varietal.html\">2014 Black Stallion Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California $26\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThere are impressive places to visit in Napa Valley, but one you might not have on your radar is Black Stallion. The winery’s name is an homage to its past as an equestrian center. The powerfully sleek statue of a stallion welcomes guests, while their signature Cabernet Sauvignon sports the same unbridled power wrapped in a polished package. Classic Cabernet aromas of dark berry and cocoa, along with a full-bodied texture, makes it a red for appreciators of Napa Valley Cab. I call it a “twice-the-price” wine as it’s worth double what you pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bodegavistalba.com/en/argentinian-wines/vistalba/vistalba-corte-b/2014/\">2014 Vistalba ‘Corte B’ Red Blend, Mendoza, Argentina $25\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nVintner, Carlos Pulenta, has a rich family history in the wine business dating back nearly a century. His vision for Vistalba, founded in 2001, was to continue the family focus and create the best possible wines from his property in the famed Mendoza region of Luján de Cuyo. Three blends – Corte A, B and C – lead the project showcasing the magical combination of mostly Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of local grape, Bonarda. The best value, in my opinion, is the Corte B. The other two wines (less and more expensive respectively), are full of character as well, but the Corte B highlights Malbec’s rugged intensity and fruit-forward appeal. The wine is complex and layered but approachable. It’s one of my top picks of 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18542\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 20.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18542\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/Icp1220-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 20. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Ferrari has had roots in the northern Italian growing and producing region, which surrounds the city of Trentino, since the early 1900s. Today, this Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based bubbly made in the classic method is revered among the top ranks of Italy’s sparkling wines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.grothwines.com\">2015 Groth ‘Hillview Vineyard’ Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California $32\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nThe Groth family began their vinous journey in Napa in 1981. Since then, they have made a name for themselves as one of California’s top family-owned wineries. I’m a fan of Groth’s sleek, powerful bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, but this Chardonnay carries on their tradition of crafting complex wines with a high deliciousness factor. Fermentation in both old and new barrels, in addition to stirring of the lees, results in a Chardonnay with a creamy yet crisp character. The wine is balanced with fruit, spice, and oak notes forming a triangle of flavor perfection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.conchaytoro.com/descubre-vinos/fine-wine-collection/gran-reserva-serie-riberas-malbec-en/\">2014 Concha y Toro ‘Gran Reserva’ Ribera del Tinguirrica Malbec, Marchigüe, Colchagua Valley, Chile $17\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nMany American wine drinkers think that the Malbec is only from Argentina. Not true. There are delicious versions hailing from neighboring Chile, too. Classic producer, Concha y Toro’s lineup of wines is diverse, but their Gran Reserva wines rank among the best values on the market today. This Malbec, with a splash of Syrah, is from old vines planted on the hills near the banks of the Tinguiririca River. With dark berry intensity and a peppery finish, it’s a wine that is smooth and supple while still possessing fresh acidity and fruity brightness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shopbenziger.vintegrate.com\">2014 Benziger Family Winery Merlot, Sonoma County, California $19\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSince the early 1970s, the Benziger family has been a leader in California for certified sustainable and biodynamic viticulture. Their wines are well-crafted and aimed at respecting the vineyards, which show in the final bottlings. This Merlot is supple and velvety with a dark fruit character and hint of cocoa aromas. It’s what a Sonoma Merlot should be…and at a price that makes it easy to drink and enjoy daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bvwines.com/en/wine/reserve-wines/tapestry/2013\">2013 Beaulieu Vineyard BV ‘Reserve Tapestry’, Napa Valley, California $61\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTalking about historic producers of the Napa Valley inevitably leads to Beaulieu Vineyard, known as BV. Meaning “beautiful place” in French, the legendary Georges de Latour founded the property with his wife in the early 1900s. It now ranks among the most celebrated wineries of California and the Georges de Latour namesake Cabernet Sauvignon among the best of the best. The Tapestry is a blend of five Bordeaux grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. From the heralded 2013 vintage, it’s a wine to cellar for up to a decade or more.

Since then, they have made a name for themselves as one of California’s top family-owned wineries. I’m a fan of Groth’s sleek, powerful bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, but this Chardonnay carries on their tradition of crafting complex wines with a high deliciousness factor. Fermentation in both old and new barrels, in addition to stirring of the lees, results in a Chardonnay with a creamy yet crisp character. The wine is balanced with fruit, spice, and oak notes forming a triangle of flavor perfection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.conchaytoro.com/descubre-vinos/fine-wine-collection/gran-reserva-serie-riberas-malbec-en/\">2014 Concha y Toro ‘Gran Reserva’ Ribera del Tinguirrica Malbec, Marchigüe, Colchagua Valley, Chile $17\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nMany American wine drinkers think that the Malbec is only from Argentina. Not true. There are delicious versions hailing from neighboring Chile, too. Classic producer, Concha y Toro’s lineup of wines is diverse, but their Gran Reserva wines rank among the best values on the market today. This Malbec, with a splash of Syrah, is from old vines planted on the hills near the banks of the Tinguiririca River. With dark berry intensity and a peppery finish, it’s a wine that is smooth and supple while still possessing fresh acidity and fruity brightness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shopbenziger.vintegrate.com\">2014 Benziger Family Winery Merlot, Sonoma County, California $19\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSince the early 1970s, the Benziger family has been a leader in California for certified sustainable and biodynamic viticulture. Their wines are well-crafted and aimed at respecting the vineyards, which show in the final bottlings. This Merlot is supple and velvety with a dark fruit character and hint of cocoa aromas. It’s what a Sonoma Merlot should be…and at a price that makes it easy to drink and enjoy daily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bvwines.com/en/wine/reserve-wines/tapestry/2013\">2013 Beaulieu Vineyard BV ‘Reserve Tapestry’, Napa Valley, California $61\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTalking about historic producers of the Napa Valley inevitably leads to Beaulieu Vineyard, known as BV. Meaning “beautiful place” in French, the legendary Georges de Latour founded the property with his wife in the early 1900s. It now ranks among the most celebrated wineries of California and the Georges de Latour namesake Cabernet Sauvignon among the best of the best. The Tapestry is a blend of five Bordeaux grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. From the heralded 2013 vintage, it’s a wine to cellar for up to a decade or more. Saturated fruit flavors are wrapped in complex aromas of dark chocolate, mineral-laden earthiness, and even rose petals. Shored up with a structured core of balanced acidity and polished tannins, it’s a wine that reaches the heights of great reds. The quality of the 2013 Tapestry easily soars above blends that are twice the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18517\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18517\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 19.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/1219-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 19. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This week I discuss: \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2017/04/13/leslie-sbroccos-check-please-bay-area-season-12-wine-and-spirits-tips/\">Absinthe.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.legrandcourtage.com/\">Le Grand Courtâge, Brut Blanc de Blancs, France $18\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nIf you are a fan of sparkling wine, you’ll want to stock up on this bubbly for the upcoming holidays. Though crafted in France, it’s not Champagne (that only comes from the region of the same name). Made by American, Tawnya Falkner, who followed her passion to produce wine in Europe she puts her mantra on the bottles proclaiming, “Embrace Life. Dream Big. Accept All Invitations.” This delightfully dry, yet succulently fruity fizz is elegantly packaged making it an ideal gift item, too. Vive la France!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pazodesenorans.com/\">2016 Pazo Señoráns Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain $20\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nHaving had the pleasure of visiting the wine region of Rias Baixas numerous times over the past decade, each time I return home with a deeper love of Albariño. The white grape is grown in this lush, green portion of western Spain – site of the famed pilgrimage city of Santiago de Campostela. This coastal area is home to fish of all shapes and sizes and is the natural partner for crisp, refreshing Albariño-based wines. Pazo de Señoráns is a family-owned, historic property that produces expressive whites layered with complexity. It ranks among the region’s best. Floral aromas combine with flavors of Asian pear and zesty minerality in a wine made to pair with myriad dishes — from oysters to salads to young cheeses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.goldeneyewinery.com/\">2014 Goldeneye Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, California $56\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPinot Noir is a diva grape variety that produces some of the world’s most ethereal wine. But, it is also difficult to grow properly and only does well in select regions of the world. Anderson Valley is one of those regions. It’s influenced by coastal breezes, which seals in the ripe yet vibrant flavors created by California sunshine. Part of the Duckhorn family of wines, Goldeneye’s signature Anderson Valley Pinot is lush with red fruit-driven flavors and a kick of freshness. It’s a wine crafted with class and finesse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.globalvineyard.com/gillmorewines/\">2012 Gillmore ‘Hacedor De Mundos’ Old Vines Cabernet Franc, Maule Valley, Chile $40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nI don’t give points to wine but if I did, this would receive a near-perfect, 100-point score. I adore it and it ranks among the best wines I’ve had in the past decade. Deep purple in hue with notes of dark fruits, tobacco, brown spices and tea leaves, it marries juicy fruit flavors with underlying earthy depth. The texture is supple with perfectly polished tannins. Made from dry-farmed, old vines planted in the 1940s then grafted to European varieties in the remote area of Chile’s Maule Valley, the limited-production yet affordable wine is breathtaking. The Gillmore family is at the helm of the winery and are producing wines (their flagship Carignan makes me swoon, too) with true character that express the terroir of this hidden-treasure wine region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.laurelglen.com/\">2013 Laurel Glen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Mountain, Sonoma County, California $70\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nCollectors of California Cabernet who know their history might be able to tell you about Laurel Glen, but my guess is not many. The winery started in 1968 and has quietly been crafting age-worthy, award-winning wines of intensity and stature. Planted high atop Sonoma Mountain, their rugged vineyards beget inky-purple wine with classic Cabernet flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and dusty cocoa. The lauded 2013 vintage is one to cellar for decades, but if you just can’t wait to sample this beautifully masculine wine, decant it for at least two hours and serve alongside grilled steak or roast beef. You’ll taste history in a glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18492\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 18.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/10/cp1218-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 18. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Not only is it globally recognized as one of this country’s best producers of age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, their Chardonnay is crafted in a style that makes me swoon. Crisp, bright, and complex, it sports a medium-bodied vibrancy that makes me want another glass (or three). Winemaker, Rob Davis, has been at the helm since 1976 and this consistency has helped create a legacy of quality.

Not a bad track record. Their Malbec bottlings pair top quality with affordability as evidenced by this Reserva. Dark fruit aromas are layered with peppery spice and a snip of black licorice flavors. It is a mouth-filling, lush red, but the grapes are grown high in the Andes mountains where cool night temperatures help maintain freshness.

A beauty of a red that showcases this Napa classic at its best. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18472\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 17.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18472\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1217wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 17. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

L Dry Riesling, Mosel, Germany $15\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOne of my most memorable wine trips (and I’ve taken hundreds of them) was to visit Ernst Loosen (pronounced low-zen) at his winery by the steep, slate-based slopes of the Mosel river. He is a charismatic vintner with a passion for Riesling and his brilliant bottlings are favorites of mine. The family’s Dr. L line of wines is an ideal way to start your exploration of German Riesling. They do offer a sweeter version, but this dry, citrus and mineral-scented white with a zing of\u003cbr>\nGranny Smith-apple acidity, is a food wine extraordinaire. Spicy curry…check. Grilled fish…check. Fresh cheeses…check. It’s a white for year-round sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.longmeadowranch.com/\">2015 Long Meadow Ranch Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, California$40\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen I first met Ted and Laddie Hall at their remarkable property in Napa called Long Meadow Ranch, I was enamored by their passion and commitment to living from and with the land. They grow olive trees (and make delicious olive oil), apple trees, and even graze cattle. Their son, Chris, is at the helm of their inspired eatery, Farmstead. Their wines have always impressed me as well. Over the years, they’ve added vineyards to their Napa portfolio and this elegant Pinot Noir from northern Napa neighbor, Alexander Valley, is silky, stylish and a pure pleasure to drink. A beautiful example of the delicately complex Pinots that have made Alexander Valley famous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.dutchercrossingwinery.com/\">2014 Dutcher Crossing, ‘Maple Vineyard’ Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley, California $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOwner, Debra Mathy, had always dreamed of owning a winery and realized that dream more than a decade ago with Dutcher Crossing. A rustically elegant place that produces a wide range of wine, it carries the Zin torch with aplomb. Dry Creek Valley is arguably the best place for Zinfandel in northern California and this vineyard-designate version captures a sense of place. It is balanced with dark fruit flavors, intense spicy aromas, and richness that wraps your palate in pleasure. Make a stop there on your next trip to Sonoma and taste through a variety of their Zins. Tell them Leslie sent you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.seasmoke.com\">2014 Sea Smoke Cellars, ‘Ten’ Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, California $82\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen Pinot Noir is remarkable, there’s nothing like it. I have imbibed my fair share of great examples, but Sea Smoke ranks among my most treasured tastes of Pinot Noir. Hailing from a stunning hillside, fog-laden (hence the name) estate vineyard in the cool Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara, Sea Smoke’s Pinots have garnered rave reviews for a reason. They’re damn fine. I had the opportunity to visit the property a number of years ago and it is impressive. (Just peruse their website for photos and prepare to be transported.) Their flagship bottling is dubbed ‘Ten’ as it uses ten different clones of Pinot Noir from their vineyard. This gives layers of complexity and character. The wine is lush, full and deeply fruited. It definitely lives up to the name — I give it a perfect 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://distillery209.passionspirits.com/distillery-no-209/no-209-chardonnay-barrel-reserve-gin.html\">No. 209 Barrel Reserve Gin $60\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen you look at the color of this spirit – a light amber hue – your brain doesn’t go to Gin. No, maybe a lighter style of Bourbon or Scotch whisky. Could be a Cognac. But, alas, it’s Gin. Gin aged in barrels used to make Chardonnay, that is. This process gives the spirit its color and toffee-like notes while maintaining the still-prevalent Gin character of herbal aromas, orange peel and juniper. Crafted in San Francisco at the No. 209 distillery, which has a rich history and connection to Napa Valley’s wine country, it’s a marriage of two worlds. I love to pour a glass and simply sip this unique spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 16.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18431\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 16. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

L Dry Riesling, Mosel, Germany $15\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOne of my most memorable wine trips (and I’ve taken hundreds of them) was to visit Ernst Loosen (pronounced low-zen) at his winery by the steep, slate-based slopes of the Mosel river. He is a charismatic vintner with a passion for Riesling and his brilliant bottlings are favorites of mine. The family’s Dr. L line of wines is an ideal way to start your exploration of German Riesling. They do offer a sweeter version, but this dry, citrus and mineral-scented white with a zing of\u003cbr>\nGranny Smith-apple acidity, is a food wine extraordinaire. Spicy curry…check. Grilled fish…check. Fresh cheeses…check. It’s a white for year-round sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They grow olive trees (and make delicious olive oil), apple trees, and even graze cattle. Their son, Chris, is at the helm of their inspired eatery, Farmstead. Their wines have always impressed me as well. Over the years, they’ve added vineyards to their Napa portfolio and this elegant Pinot Noir from northern Napa neighbor, Alexander Valley, is silky, stylish and a pure pleasure to drink. A beautiful example of the delicately complex Pinots that have made Alexander Valley famous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.dutchercrossingwinery.com/\">2014 Dutcher Crossing, ‘Maple Vineyard’ Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley, California $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOwner, Debra Mathy, had always dreamed of owning a winery and realized that dream more than a decade ago with Dutcher Crossing. A rustically elegant place that produces a wide range of wine, it carries the Zin torch with aplomb. Dry Creek Valley is arguably the best place for Zinfandel in northern California and this vineyard-designate version captures a sense of place. It is balanced with dark fruit flavors, intense spicy aromas, and richness that wraps your palate in pleasure. Make a stop there on your next trip to Sonoma and taste through a variety of their Zins. Tell them Leslie sent you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.seasmoke.com\">2014 Sea Smoke Cellars, ‘Ten’ Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, California $82\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen Pinot Noir is remarkable, there’s nothing like it. I have imbibed my fair share of great examples, but Sea Smoke ranks among my most treasured tastes of Pinot Noir. Hailing from a stunning hillside, fog-laden (hence the name) estate vineyard in the cool Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara, Sea Smoke’s Pinots have garnered rave reviews for a reason. They’re damn fine. I had the opportunity to visit the property a number of years ago and it is impressive. (Just peruse their website for photos and prepare to be transported.) Their flagship bottling is dubbed ‘Ten’ as it uses ten different clones of Pinot Noir from their vineyard. This gives layers of complexity and character. The wine is lush, full and deeply fruited. It definitely lives up to the name — I give it a perfect 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://distillery209.passionspirits.com/distillery-no-209/no-209-chardonnay-barrel-reserve-gin.html\">No. 209 Barrel Reserve Gin $60\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen you look at the color of this spirit – a light amber hue – your brain doesn’t go to Gin. No, maybe a lighter style of Bourbon or Scotch whisky. Could be a Cognac. But, alas, it’s Gin. Gin aged in barrels used to make Chardonnay, that is. This process gives the spirit its color and toffee-like notes while maintaining the still-prevalent Gin character of herbal aromas, orange peel and juniper. Crafted in San Francisco at the No. 209 distillery, which has a rich history and connection to Napa Valley’s wine country, it’s a marriage of two worlds. I love to pour a glass and simply sip this unique spirit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 16.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18431\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1216-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 16. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This unique bubbly crafted by iconic winemaker, Fred Loimer, is made in the traditional method of ageing in bottle. A blend of grapes including Zweigelt, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the organically-grown wine is taut and tantalizing. Floral aromas and red berry freshness make this stylishly dry rosé one to sip as an aperitif or with lighter fish dishes. It’s an Austrian treasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.naturawines.com\">2016 Emiliana “Natura” Un-Oaked Chardonnay, Valle del Bio-Bio, Chile $11\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOn several of my trips to Chile’s wine country, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Emiliana. It’s a stunning, but low-key property devoted to creating wines focused on the principles of organics and biodynamics. Their label “Natura” is one I recommend frequently for its affordability and drinkability. Sure, it’s made with organically grown grapes, but the wines are just plain delicious. This oak-free style of Chardonnay is crisp with bright citrus and green apple notes and a smack of mouthwatering acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.butywinery.com\">2014 Buty “Conner Lee Vineyard” Merlot/Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley, Washington $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen I first tasted the wines from Buty (pronounced beauty) I called them one of Washington state’s best producers. Being lucky enough to sample their wines year after year, that declaration still holds true. The wines from Buty are beautiful. This supple, elegant red is two-thirds Merlot and one third Cabernet Franc grown in the famed Conner Lee Vineyard. It’s a wine to age for up to a decade or drink alongside rosemary-infused roast chicken and potato gratin. Now I’m hungry…and thirsty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chimneyrock.com\">2013 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California $85\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWinemakers Elizabeth Viana and Doug Fletcher have helped build Chimney Rock into a quiet giant of quality. The eye-catching Napa Valley winery dates to 1980 and for the past 37 years has created world-class wines focused on Cabernet Sauvignon. This powerhouse red showcases intensity of fruit from the Stags Leap District, while displaying impeccable balance worthy of the cellar or tonight’s dinner table. The 2013 vintage is a lauded one so if you can still get your hands on it, do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18408\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18408\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 15.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 15. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

It’s a stunning, but low-key property devoted to creating wines focused on the principles of organics and biodynamics. Their label “Natura” is one I recommend frequently for its affordability and drinkability. Sure, it’s made with organically grown grapes, but the wines are just plain delicious. This oak-free style of Chardonnay is crisp with bright citrus and green apple notes and a smack of mouthwatering acidity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.butywinery.com\">2014 Buty “Conner Lee Vineyard” Merlot/Cabernet Franc, Columbia Valley, Washington $45\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWhen I first tasted the wines from Buty (pronounced beauty) I called them one of Washington state’s best producers. Being lucky enough to sample their wines year after year, that declaration still holds true. The wines from Buty are beautiful. This supple, elegant red is two-thirds Merlot and one third Cabernet Franc grown in the famed Conner Lee Vineyard. It’s a wine to age for up to a decade or drink alongside rosemary-infused roast chicken and potato gratin. Now I’m hungry…and thirsty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.chimneyrock.com\">2013 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California $85\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nWinemakers Elizabeth Viana and Doug Fletcher have helped build Chimney Rock into a quiet giant of quality. The eye-catching Napa Valley winery dates to 1980 and for the past 37 years has created world-class wines focused on Cabernet Sauvignon. This powerhouse red showcases intensity of fruit from the Stags Leap District, while displaying impeccable balance worthy of the cellar or tonight’s dinner table. The 2013 vintage is a lauded one so if you can still get your hands on it, do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18408\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18408\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 15.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/09/cp1215-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 15. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The winemaker, Lucio Matricardi, is passionate about his wines, which are made at their beautiful Feudo Arancio property. What’s impressive about this blend of primarily Nero d’Avola with Cabernet Sauvignon is that it acts (and tastes) like an expensive wine, but in reality ranks among my top-value picks. Notes of dark, saturated fruit and savory earthiness swirl together in a funnel cloud of flavor. The texture is supple yet vibrant, which makes it an ideal pairing for the tangy Sicilian dish, Caponata, or fish simmered with tomatoes. Pick up a few bottles and see if you don’t get transported to Sicily with a sip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tablascreek.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2015 Tablas Creek “Patelin de Tablas Blanc” Paso Robles, California\u003c/a> $25\u003cbr>\nAs an icon in the Paso Robles region, Tablas Creek is a winery I look to as leading the Rhone-style movement in California. Founded by the Perrin family of France’s Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas of Vineyard Brands import company, the winery crafts the best domestic wines with a French Rhone focus. This blend is my favorite of their lineup. It’s an ode to the white grapes of the Rhone marrying Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne from a selection of noted vineyards in Paso Robles. Stone fruit and nutty aromas are backed up with a smooth yet vibrant mouthfeel making it a wine not only for the dinner table, but also for cocktail hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tenutailpoggione.it/en/274/estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2015 Il Poggione “Brancato” Rosato di Toscana, Italy\u003c/a> $18\u003cbr>\nWhen I see Il Poggione on a wine label, my thoughts turn to hearty, world-class reds known as Brunello di Montalcino. Indeed, the famed producer dates back more than a century and is one of founding members of the Brunello di Montelcino consortium. Being a pink wine lover, however, when I tasted this rose I was blown away. A brilliant garnet color, the 100 percent Sangiovese rosato showcases succulent strawberry aromas and pink grapefruit flavors with pithy complexity. There is so much character packed into this wine, you might forget it’s “just” pink. \u003cstrong>\u003cem>Note:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> \u003cem>Current release is 2016.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://palm.be/en/rodenbach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rodenbach Grand Cru Ale, Belgium\u003c/a> (four pack $16)\u003cbr>\nThis classic Belgian brew is the global benchmark for sour ale. For more than 200 years Rodenbach has been crafting beer and their experience shows. The Grand Cru is a blend of two-year-old, mature ales with younger ales. This gives not only layers of complexity, but a uniquely elegant character. Being a wine lover — especially wines with bright acidity — this tart and refreshing beer is a welcome addition to my drinking portfolio. When pouring alongside food, I tend to treat it more like a wine, too. With its sour, zesty flavors it is a great match for roast pork loin in a cherry sauce or baked salmon with lemony beurre blanc topping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.appletonestate.com/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Appleton Estate Rum Signature Blend, Jamaica\u003c/a> $23\u003cbr>\nThough Rum has a rich past dating to the 1700s, the famous spirit is undergoing a renaissance with drinkers. No longer the domain of simply, “Rum and Coke, please,” the variety and depth of Rum choices on the market are allowing imbibers to take a journey of discovery. Appelton is a must-stop on that journey. With over 265 years of history, its a category staple. Made in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, the sugarcane that goes into this Rum gains a certain sense of place, which lends distinct flavors to the Rum. The Signature Blend combines more than 15 different ages of Rum, which gives a smooth, citrusy edge to the spirit. One of my ideal ways to enjoy it is with a splash of ginger beer and sprig of mint.
