Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

At an affordable price, it’s a casual wine for everyday enjoyment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://macchiawines.orderport.net/product-details/0515/2014-Graciano-Gracious\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 Macchia “Gracious” Graciano, Lodi, California\u003c/a> $25\u003cbr>\nIn the Spanish region of Rioja, the grape Graciano is known to impart an inky concentration to red blends. Rarely have I seen it planted in California as it’s a tricky variety. However, I discovered Macchia’s version and am impressed. Lush with juicy flavors and plush in texture, it shows New World fruit with Old World character. Winemakers Tim and Lani Holdener started the winery in 2001 and reds are their passion. You can tell with this bold, graciously-styled wine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17714\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17714\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the thirteenth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1113-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the thirteenth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I recommend it highly to anyone with a passion for fabulous fizz. This Spanish Cava is delicately fruity with medium-bodied freshness. It is a dry style with mouth-filling flavor. With a sleek bottle design and bubbly that over-delivers in quality, it’s a wine to buy by the case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.truveewines.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2015 McBride Sisters “Truvée” Rosé, Central Coast, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $16\u003cbr>\nRobin and Andrea McBride have a story as beautiful as this wine. They didn’t know that they were sisters until their late teens and early 20s. With one living in New Zealand and the other California, they connected as their father’s final wish and became close. Sharing a passion for wine, they formed a company and Truvée (meaning found) was created. This dry-styled pink wine from Grenache and Syrah is succulent. Its juicy yet still fleshy making it a rosé for year-long sipping. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://rivermysthaven.com/shop-rmh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2014 RMH Wines Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $52\u003cbr>\nThis stylish Pinot from River Mist Haven winery is focused on single vineyard wines. Hailing from the Moshin vineyard in Russian River Valley, the wine serves up spicy, red berry fruit aromas and a silky texture. Serve it alongside grilled Portobello mushrooms stuffed with chicken sausage for an earthy, other-worldly delight. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.delfossewine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Delfosse Petit Verdot, Monticello, Virginia \u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $35\u003cbr>\nYou may not know about Virginia wines, but you should. This winery sits at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains and is in the heart of the Monticello wine-growing region. Virginia has become an emerging area for varieties such as Viognier and Cabernet Franc and we can now add Petit Verdot to the list. A Bordeaux variety that seems to take well to the climate and soils of this area, it showcases dark fruit notes along with a velvety softness on the palate. Winning the Governor’s Cup award for one of Virginia’s best wines, it’s a terrific bottle to start on your exploration of this world-class area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17641\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the eleventh episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17641\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the eleventh episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

With a sleek bottle design and bubbly that over-delivers in quality, it’s a wine to buy by the case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.truveewines.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2015 McBride Sisters “Truvée” Rosé, Central Coast, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $16\u003cbr>\nRobin and Andrea McBride have a story as beautiful as this wine. They didn’t know that they were sisters until their late teens and early 20s. With one living in New Zealand and the other California, they connected as their father’s final wish and became close. Sharing a passion for wine, they formed a company and Truvée (meaning found) was created. This dry-styled pink wine from Grenache and Syrah is succulent. Its juicy yet still fleshy making it a rosé for year-long sipping. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://rivermysthaven.com/shop-rmh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2014 RMH Wines Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $52\u003cbr>\nThis stylish Pinot from River Mist Haven winery is focused on single vineyard wines. Hailing from the Moshin vineyard in Russian River Valley, the wine serves up spicy, red berry fruit aromas and a silky texture. Serve it alongside grilled Portobello mushrooms stuffed with chicken sausage for an earthy, other-worldly delight. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.delfossewine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Delfosse Petit Verdot, Monticello, Virginia \u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $35\u003cbr>\nYou may not know about Virginia wines, but you should. This winery sits at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains and is in the heart of the Monticello wine-growing region. Virginia has become an emerging area for varieties such as Viognier and Cabernet Franc and we can now add Petit Verdot to the list. A Bordeaux variety that seems to take well to the climate and soils of this area, it showcases dark fruit notes along with a velvety softness on the palate. Winning the Governor’s Cup award for one of Virginia’s best wines, it’s a terrific bottle to start on your exploration of this world-class area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17641\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the eleventh episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17641\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/09/cp1111-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the eleventh episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Being a big supporter of women and wine (even those of mythological status), I’ve always found Siduri falls into the goddess category.

I haven’t found too many versions of the variety that I’ve enjoyed as they’re often earthy and lean. In order to give the wine flesh and fruit, PinoPasso’s winemaker made a wacky decision drying a portion of the grapes. This is called Passimento (hence the name) and it concentrates the sugar and flavors. With some Shiraz thrown in, what results is succulently juicy wine ideal for grilled meats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ramsgatewinery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Ram’s Gate “Estate” Pinot Noir, Carneros, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $72\u003cbr>\nOnly 420 bottles were made of this lush, plush Pinot. The Carneros growing region leisurely stretches across the San Pablo Bay and is known for its cool, long growing season producing wines like this with intensity and style. The same can be said about the Ram’s Gate Winery, which is a study in rustic elegance.

It’s fine-boned structure laced with mineral complexity makes it an age-worthy white worth the splurge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I haven’t found too many versions of the variety that I’ve enjoyed as they’re often earthy and lean. In order to give the wine flesh and fruit, PinoPasso’s winemaker made a wacky decision drying a portion of the grapes. This is called Passimento (hence the name) and it concentrates the sugar and flavors. With some Shiraz thrown in, what results is succulently juicy wine ideal for grilled meats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ramsgatewinery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Ram’s Gate “Estate” Pinot Noir, Carneros, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $72\u003cbr>\nOnly 420 bottles were made of this lush, plush Pinot. The Carneros growing region leisurely stretches across the San Pablo Bay and is known for its cool, long growing season producing wines like this with intensity and style. The same can be said about the Ram’s Gate Winery, which is a study in rustic elegance.

Secondly, it has a Bay Area connection worth explaining. Simply put, vintner Tawnya Falkner, is my hero. A handful of years ago she gave up her design job in San Francisco to move to Nuits St. Georges in Burgundy and pursue her passion for food and wine. What resulted is Le Grand Courtâge wines.

John Legend, the famous musician, and Jean-Charles Boisset, the wine business’s version of a rockstar, have joined forces to create LVE. The wines are created by Boisset’s Napa property, the historic Raymond Vineyards, with input from Legend. The Cabernet Sauvignon is a stylish sip. Lush, opulent and sexy, it’s destined for wine collectors’ cellars but can be enjoyed now. Pour it alongside a seared sirloin while listening to music from who else? Legend-ary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.adelaida.com/About-Us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Adelaida Version Red “Anna’s Vineyard” Adelaida District, Paso Robles, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $50\u003cbr>\nPaso Robles is becoming a destination for lovers of Rhone-style wines and Adelaida is one of the reasons why. With a rich, 34-year-old history, the producer is recognized as a regional pioneer for helping to shape the Adelaida District within the Paso Robles AVA (American Viticultural Area). Vineyards planted on steep mountainsides only 14 miles from the ocean create unique growing conditions with warm daytime temperatures, cooling afternoon breezes and cold nights. The combination – along with calcareous soils – result in wine layered with intensity and character. This Rhone-style blend of primarily Syrah and Mourvedre with a dash of Grenache, is weighty and plush with a silky texture. Held together by a core of vibrant dark fruit and taut minerality, it’s complex wine that delivers a peppery punch. A gorgeous red that captures a sense of place wrapped in pure pleasure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17531\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the eighth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17531\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the eighth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

They represent her journey (courtage means a long voyage) to discover what is important in life. I think she found it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

John Legend, the famous musician, and Jean-Charles Boisset, the wine business’s version of a rockstar, have joined forces to create LVE. The wines are created by Boisset’s Napa property, the historic Raymond Vineyards, with input from Legend. The Cabernet Sauvignon is a stylish sip. Lush, opulent and sexy, it’s destined for wine collectors’ cellars but can be enjoyed now. Pour it alongside a seared sirloin while listening to music from who else? Legend-ary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.adelaida.com/About-Us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Adelaida Version Red “Anna’s Vineyard” Adelaida District, Paso Robles, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $50\u003cbr>\nPaso Robles is becoming a destination for lovers of Rhone-style wines and Adelaida is one of the reasons why. With a rich, 34-year-old history, the producer is recognized as a regional pioneer for helping to shape the Adelaida District within the Paso Robles AVA (American Viticultural Area). Vineyards planted on steep mountainsides only 14 miles from the ocean create unique growing conditions with warm daytime temperatures, cooling afternoon breezes and cold nights. The combination – along with calcareous soils – result in wine layered with intensity and character. This Rhone-style blend of primarily Syrah and Mourvedre with a dash of Grenache, is weighty and plush with a silky texture. Held together by a core of vibrant dark fruit and taut minerality, it’s complex wine that delivers a peppery punch. A gorgeous red that captures a sense of place wrapped in pure pleasure. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17531\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the eighth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17531\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/06/cp1108-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the eighth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Known for structured Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s rare to find a single varietal bottling of another famed Bordeaux grape, Cabernet Franc. But, Duckhorn has been crafting intense yet elegant versions for years. I can pick out their Cab Franc because of its signature mineral, rose petal and blueberry aromas along with a silky yet plush mouthfeel. This is a stunner and one wine collectors and appreciators should seek out to cellar or simply enjoy with dinner. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17485\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the seventh episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17485\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the seventh episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Crisp and dry with a luscious mouthfeel and freshly-baked bread aromas, it’s a classy bubbly that will surprise and please. Uncork a bottle to celebrate something special or simply to toast a Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As remote (a six-hour flight from Sydney) as it is pristine, Margaret River is home to noted Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. Robert Oatley is an iconic Aussie producer and winemaker Larry Cherubino crafts SB with citrus-scented purity.

It also sits with the best international wineries on my worldwide “top wineries” list. Known for structured Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s rare to find a single varietal bottling of another famed Bordeaux grape, Cabernet Franc. But, Duckhorn has been crafting intense yet elegant versions for years. I can pick out their Cab Franc because of its signature mineral, rose petal and blueberry aromas along with a silky yet plush mouthfeel. This is a stunner and one wine collectors and appreciators should seek out to cellar or simply enjoy with dinner. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17485\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the seventh episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17485\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1107-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the seventh episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Its popularity has increased over the years with accolades from press and consumers. This Chardonnay shows why Joseph Carr wines have resonated with wine drinkers. A blend of grapes from cool-climate vineyards in the Russian River and the Sonoma Coast, it’s fruit-driven friendliness is what draws you in. That’s soon followed by a core of taut minerality wrapped with a creamy texture. With my eyes closed, I just might think this is a premier cru from Burgundy in France, but for a fraction of the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.josephcarrwine.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Joseph Carr Cabernet Sauvignon, Coombsville, Napa Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $40\u003cbr>\nWinemaker Aaron Pott — one of the most respected craftsmen in Napa and France — joined forces with Joseph Carr in 2010 to bring the wines to a world-class level. The goal of both men is to create wines that express their birthplace. This Cabernet hails from Napa’s newest recognized growing region (or AVA) named Coombsville. Grown in vineyards with volcanic soil deposited from the nearby Vaca mountain range, the long growing season allows for elegance yet intensity in this velvety red. It’s a wine worth twice the price. I challenge you to taste it alongside Napa Cabs in the $100 range and you will be impressed with its complexity and quiet power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jansz.com.au/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Jansz Rose Sparkling Wine, Tasmania, Australia\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $25\u003cbr>\nNamed as an ode to the Dutch explorer who discovered the Australian island in 1642, this stunning sparkler showcases an emerging frontier for bubbly. Originally crafted 30 years ago with input from Champagne’s famed house of Louis Roederer, the winery is now owned by one of Australia’s first families of wine, the Hill-Smiths. The island is cool (if not downright cold) and home to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that ranks with the best in the world. This pale-hued pink fizz captures wild strawberry fruit notes with a sassy freshness that is perfectly paired with a variety of foods from salty nuts and popcorn to seared salmon. #Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17466\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17466\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the sixth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the sixth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Its popularity has increased over the years with accolades from press and consumers. This Chardonnay shows why Joseph Carr wines have resonated with wine drinkers. A blend of grapes from cool-climate vineyards in the Russian River and the Sonoma Coast, it’s fruit-driven friendliness is what draws you in. That’s soon followed by a core of taut minerality wrapped with a creamy texture. With my eyes closed, I just might think this is a premier cru from Burgundy in France, but for a fraction of the price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The goal of both men is to create wines that express their birthplace. This Cabernet hails from Napa’s newest recognized growing region (or AVA) named Coombsville. Grown in vineyards with volcanic soil deposited from the nearby Vaca mountain range, the long growing season allows for elegance yet intensity in this velvety red. It’s a wine worth twice the price. I challenge you to taste it alongside Napa Cabs in the $100 range and you will be impressed with its complexity and quiet power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.jansz.com.au/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Jansz Rose Sparkling Wine, Tasmania, Australia\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $25\u003cbr>\nNamed as an ode to the Dutch explorer who discovered the Australian island in 1642, this stunning sparkler showcases an emerging frontier for bubbly. Originally crafted 30 years ago with input from Champagne’s famed house of Louis Roederer, the winery is now owned by one of Australia’s first families of wine, the Hill-Smiths. The island is cool (if not downright cold) and home to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that ranks with the best in the world. This pale-hued pink fizz captures wild strawberry fruit notes with a sassy freshness that is perfectly paired with a variety of foods from salty nuts and popcorn to seared salmon. #Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17466\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17466\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the sixth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/wine-1106-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the sixth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This legendary time frame has afforded them ranking among the best producers of the Loire Valley. But, they don’t rest on their laurels and accolades. General Manager Arnaud Saget has taken the reins and is focused on innovation as well with a new line of affordable Vin de France wines dubbed “La Petite Perriere.” This wine, however, falls into their masters category. Made from Sauvignon Blanc planted in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, this classic style of white encompasses citrus and passion fruit aromas with a driving force of minerality. Pure, focused flavors fleshed out with a luscious texture make it a wine to pair with oysters, scallops or salmon, but also to enjoy on its own as a respite from the day. Though collector-level quality, it’s priced with drinking in mind so stock up for summer time sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lombardiwines.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Lombardi Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $38\u003cbr>\nTony Lombardi has a long background in the wine business especially with Pinot Noir. He has captured his love of the grape’s elegance with this eponymous project crafting complex Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Hailing from ultra cool climate vineyards the wine’s hallmarks are freshness layered with cherry fruit notes and a spicy kick. It drinks like silk feels — smooth and sexy. With a few vintages under his belt, this small-production, family-owned operation is one to add to your “must buy” list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pineridgevineyards.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2014 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $15\u003cbr>\nPine Ridge has a long history in Napa Valley beginning their awarded journey in 1978. Known for intense and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, I tend to recommend their lighthearted, versatile white blend year in and year out. A deliciously fun sip that surprises, it’s comprised of mostly Chenin Blanc with a splash of Viognier. Chenin Blanc is vibrant, citrus-scented and refreshing while Viognier gives roundness and floral aromatics. Try this with piquant, spicy dishes and fresh, tangy cheeses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17360\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17360\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the fifth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the fifth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

This legendary time frame has afforded them ranking among the best producers of the Loire Valley. But, they don’t rest on their laurels and accolades. General Manager Arnaud Saget has taken the reins and is focused on innovation as well with a new line of affordable Vin de France wines dubbed “La Petite Perriere.” This wine, however, falls into their masters category. Made from Sauvignon Blanc planted in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, this classic style of white encompasses citrus and passion fruit aromas with a driving force of minerality. Pure, focused flavors fleshed out with a luscious texture make it a wine to pair with oysters, scallops or salmon, but also to enjoy on its own as a respite from the day. Though collector-level quality, it’s priced with drinking in mind so stock up for summer time sipping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He has captured his love of the grape’s elegance with this eponymous project crafting complex Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Hailing from ultra cool climate vineyards the wine’s hallmarks are freshness layered with cherry fruit notes and a spicy kick. It drinks like silk feels — smooth and sexy. With a few vintages under his belt, this small-production, family-owned operation is one to add to your “must buy” list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pineridgevineyards.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2014 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $15\u003cbr>\nPine Ridge has a long history in Napa Valley beginning their awarded journey in 1978. Known for intense and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, I tend to recommend their lighthearted, versatile white blend year in and year out. A deliciously fun sip that surprises, it’s comprised of mostly Chenin Blanc with a splash of Viognier. Chenin Blanc is vibrant, citrus-scented and refreshing while Viognier gives roundness and floral aromatics. Try this with piquant, spicy dishes and fresh, tangy cheeses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17360\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17360\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the fifth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1105-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the fifth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When the brand’s owner, Leslie Rudd, bought the historic Edge Hill wine estate in Napa Valley, he uncovered an old building with the words “Registered distillery no. 209” painted above the door. He traced the background of the verbiage to the property’s original owner, William Sheffler, who was an award-winning distiller in the late 1880s. Using this as inspiration, a new distillery was built in San Francisco on Pier 50. The gin now being crafted there is a marriage of botanicals such as juniper – the key ingredient in gin – as well as up to 11 other botanicals from bergamot orange and lemon peel to coriander seeds. It’s a crisp yet aromatic gin that I love with a simple splash of tonic and fresh lime or as the base for a classic martini. Bottoms up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gonzalezbyass.com/en/wines/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Gonzales Byass “Tio Pepe” Fino Sherry, Jerez, Spain\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $19\u003cbr>\nSherry may be an underappreciated wine style, but through education and exposure many new wine drinkers are gaining an understanding of and desire for the historic beverage. Hailing from the south of Spain, it is a fortified wine made in a variety of styles from dry to dessert worthy. This famous version is Muy Seco or very dry and since people often think Sherry is only sweet, it’s a discovery for most. Zesty and light with a refreshingly nutty tang, well-chilled Fino Sherry is ideal with appetizers, nuts, cheeses and Spanish jamon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hesscollection.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Hess Collection “Small Batch Collection Series” Gewurztraminer, Anderson Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nIn honor of the 30th vintage of world-class wines from Hess Collection on Napa’s Mt. Veeder, we hit the cellar and pulled out an older bottle to share with the guests. Usually a wine with a few years of age would be red, but white wine can age beautifully, too, as evidenced by this spicy, floral-scented Gewurztraminer. The winery’s small batch collection series is available at the winery and is only one reason to plan a trip. Visiting Hess Collection Visitor’s Center and Art Museum is an experience in itself. If you enjoy art and wine, this is THE destination in wine country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17339\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17339\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Gin and wines that guests drank on the set of the fourth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gin and wines that guests drank on the set of the fourth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

This week I discuss: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2016/04/14/leslie-sbroccos-check-please-bay-area-season-11-wine-tips/\"> the wines of Calistoga.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://distillery209.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Distillery No. 209 Gin\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $35\u003cbr>\nBeing a gin devotee, one of my favorite picks is Distillery No. 209. When the brand’s owner, Leslie Rudd, bought the historic Edge Hill wine estate in Napa Valley, he uncovered an old building with the words “Registered distillery no. 209” painted above the door. He traced the background of the verbiage to the property’s original owner, William Sheffler, who was an award-winning distiller in the late 1880s. Using this as inspiration, a new distillery was built in San Francisco on Pier 50. The gin now being crafted there is a marriage of botanicals such as juniper – the key ingredient in gin – as well as up to 11 other botanicals from bergamot orange and lemon peel to coriander seeds. It’s a crisp yet aromatic gin that I love with a simple splash of tonic and fresh lime or as the base for a classic martini. Bottoms up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hailing from the south of Spain, it is a fortified wine made in a variety of styles from dry to dessert worthy. This famous version is Muy Seco or very dry and since people often think Sherry is only sweet, it’s a discovery for most. Zesty and light with a refreshingly nutty tang, well-chilled Fino Sherry is ideal with appetizers, nuts, cheeses and Spanish jamon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hesscollection.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Hess Collection “Small Batch Collection Series” Gewurztraminer, Anderson Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nIn honor of the 30th vintage of world-class wines from Hess Collection on Napa’s Mt. Veeder, we hit the cellar and pulled out an older bottle to share with the guests. Usually a wine with a few years of age would be red, but white wine can age beautifully, too, as evidenced by this spicy, floral-scented Gewurztraminer. The winery’s small batch collection series is available at the winery and is only one reason to plan a trip. Visiting Hess Collection Visitor’s Center and Art Museum is an experience in itself. If you enjoy art and wine, this is THE destination in wine country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17339\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17339\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Gin and wines that guests drank on the set of the fourth episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/05/cp1104-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gin and wines that guests drank on the set of the fourth episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

I come across a myriad of brands with eye-catching labels, but this trio is the most creative I’ve seen in years.

I come across a myriad of brands with eye-catching labels, but this trio is the most creative I’ve seen in years. Offering up a smile-inducing lineup of wines entitled Toast, Butter and JaM, each has a purpose and unique character. All three pack a high-quality punch while telling you exactly what you’re getting in each bottle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
