Grab a rack of ribs and settle in with a glass of this wine for a decadent night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.3fingerjack.com/global/2016_2017_Lodi_Cabernet_Sauvignon.html#2017lodi\">2017 Three Finger Jack ‘East Side Ridge’ Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California $22\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat a fun wine. The appealing bottle is what first catches your eye as its shape harkens to another era. It’s named for an outlaw, Three Finger Jack, who roamed California during the Gold Rush. Crafted from mostly Cabernet Sauvignon accented by Petite Sirah, Malbec and Merlot, it’s an offbeat blend with a bold taste. Hearty, spicy, full-bodied and ultra-smooth, you can saddle up next to a steak, pour yourself a glass, and toast the old days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20824 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1513R-Wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank recommended by host Leslie Sbrocco. \u003ccite>(Maya Wise/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

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

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

Sure, their signature Blanc de Blancs is complex and classy, but mostly it’s just a joy to sip. The historic house dates to 1760, so they’ve had a few hundred years to get things right…and right they do. This sparkler is made from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in the famed chalk soils of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne. Matured for years in bottle to gain creamy complexity, its tightly-wound core of minerality is draped with lemon crème lushness. Treat yourself to this treasure of pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.zoninusa.com/estate/tenuta-ca-bolani/\">2018 Ca’ Bolani Pinot Grigio\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Friuli Aquileia, Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA refreshingly crisp Pinot Grigio coming from an area between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea in Italy. This bucolic wine region is known for producing whites of purity and food-friendly zestiness. Tenuta Ca’Bolani encompasses the largest single vineyard in northeastern Italy and nearly 1,000 cypress trees surround the estate. The beauty of the place certainly translates to this wine. If you’re a lover of Pinot Grigio, it’s an affordable choice that over-delivers on quality. Layers of lemony flavor and a ping of minerality define the wine. Try with grilled fish, summer salads, fresh cheeses, or simply by sitting in the sunshine and enjoying life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé Toscana IGT\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nStylish packaging and an artful label with Michelangelo imagery is what catches your eye with this wine. However, the deliciously elegant pink inside is the reason to buy it. Italian Rosé is less prominent in the United States, which focuses on versions from the south of France and Spain. But, Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé is an example of why you should seek out the spicy yet delicate versions from Tuscany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/prodotto/44/lefocaie\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Le Focaie’ Maremma Toscana DOC\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSangiovese is the star red grape in central Italy’s region of Tuscany. American wine drinkers know and love Tuscan Chianti but are often less familiar with the wines of the Maremma area in coastal, southwestern Tuscany. The iconic Italian wine family, Zonin, owns the stunning Rocca di Montemassi estate where it crafts world-class wines. This Sangiovese-focused red captures the grape variety’s grippy spiciness and wraps it in lush, dark fruit flavors. What a value! I consider it a wine worth twice the price. Spanning the pairing spectrum, it goes with fancy fare like filet mignon as easily as it does with casual burgers or pizza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schradercellars.com/double-diamond\">2017 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oakville, Napa Valley, California, $70\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen the family-owned Napa Valley producer, Schrader Cellars, released their first Double Diamond in 2001 it was a success. The boutique winery is heralded for age-worthy, world-class bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, so that was no surprise. But then there was a hiatus in production and the favored wine returned only recently. This 2017 bottling is made by winemaker, Thomas Brown, from fruit grown exclusively in Napa’s Oakville appellation. Its rich, full bodied flair is complemented by a supple structure and concentrated dark fruit notes. It’s a wine to age for a decade, but why wait? Decant and drink now with hearty dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20794\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20794\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 11. \u003ccite>(Maya Wise/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

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

This bucolic wine region is known for producing whites of purity and food-friendly zestiness. Tenuta Ca’Bolani encompasses the largest single vineyard in northeastern Italy and nearly 1,000 cypress trees surround the estate. The beauty of the place certainly translates to this wine. If you’re a lover of Pinot Grigio, it’s an affordable choice that over-delivers on quality. Layers of lemony flavor and a ping of minerality define the wine. Try with grilled fish, summer salads, fresh cheeses, or simply by sitting in the sunshine and enjoying life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé Toscana IGT\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nStylish packaging and an artful label with Michelangelo imagery is what catches your eye with this wine. However, the deliciously elegant pink inside is the reason to buy it. Italian Rosé is less prominent in the United States, which focuses on versions from the south of France and Spain. But, Rocca di Montemassi ‘Renaissance’ Rosé is an example of why you should seek out the spicy yet delicate versions from Tuscany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roccadimontemassi.it/prodotto/44/lefocaie\">2018 Rocca di Montemassi ‘Le Focaie’ Maremma Toscana DOC\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Italy, $15\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nSangiovese is the star red grape in central Italy’s region of Tuscany. American wine drinkers know and love Tuscan Chianti but are often less familiar with the wines of the Maremma area in coastal, southwestern Tuscany. The iconic Italian wine family, Zonin, owns the stunning Rocca di Montemassi estate where it crafts world-class wines. This Sangiovese-focused red captures the grape variety’s grippy spiciness and wraps it in lush, dark fruit flavors. What a value! I consider it a wine worth twice the price. Spanning the pairing spectrum, it goes with fancy fare like filet mignon as easily as it does with casual burgers or pizza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schradercellars.com/double-diamond\">2017 Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oakville, Napa Valley, California, $70\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen the family-owned Napa Valley producer, Schrader Cellars, released their first Double Diamond in 2001 it was a success. The boutique winery is heralded for age-worthy, world-class bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, so that was no surprise. But then there was a hiatus in production and the favored wine returned only recently. This 2017 bottling is made by winemaker, Thomas Brown, from fruit grown exclusively in Napa’s Oakville appellation. Its rich, full bodied flair is complemented by a supple structure and concentrated dark fruit notes. It’s a wine to age for a decade, but why wait? Decant and drink now with hearty dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20794\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20794\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1511wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 11. \u003ccite>(Maya Wise/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

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

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

It’s a hidden gem from Chile’s Colchagua Valley. The name refers to the local language’s word for “a healing doctor” and the wines reflect this unique place. Calcu’s rosé is made with mostly Malbec and a dash of Petite Verdot crafted into a dry, delicate garnet wine. You will want to stock up on this beauty as it’s the ultimate in summer sipping. Fresh enough for an afternoon glass on the patio but flavorful enough to pair with flank steak and roast chicken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blackstallionwinery.com/all-wines?page=2\">\u003cstrong>2016 Black Stallion ‘Gaspare Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley, California, $75\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen Gaspare and Caterina Indelicato arrived to America from Sicily in 1924, they started growing grapes in central California. Their family eventually built a wine empire known as Delicato Family Wines. Their Gaspare Vineyard anchors the property and this 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyard is made in tribute to the family’s patriarch. Rich and bold with intense dark fruit flavors, it sports enough acidity and structure to age for a decade, but it’s also drinkable now. The tannins will pair well with a grilled steak or blue cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.blackstallionwinery.com/product?productid=EB6DBC71-D4B6-B1DC-EA9B-BEEA219EE7B0\">\u003cstrong>2018 Black Stallion Heritage Chardonnay\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Napa Valley, California, $22\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs a fan of one of California’s iconic wine brands, Delicato, I’ve been taken with their latest endeavor, Black Stallion. Their Heritage bottling is well-priced, well-balanced, well-made and well…just delicious. Utilizing French oak barrels to impart a hint of spicy vanilla notes, the stylish white wine is also aged on its lees to give creamy complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.gnarlyhead.com/global/wines/old-vine-zinfandel.html\">2018 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $10\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe name of this wine refers to the gnarled old Zinfandel vines that produce the grapes. Spicy, peppery and powerful, it’s a big red that represents the region of Lodi. Pair with barbecue ribs, smokey mole or food that has some spice and complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20749\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20749\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1510leslie-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1510leslie-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1510leslie-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1510leslie-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1510leslie-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/06/1510leslie-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank recommended by host Leslie Sbrocco. \u003ccite>(Maya Wise/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>You can find more of my wine, beer and spirits tips for you \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/checkplease/category/wine-tips\">here\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Founded in 1970, it’s now the fifth generation of the Forner family at the helm. From their elegant reds to refreshing rosado, this is a name to seek out for sheer deliciousness. Their Cava is one of the best sparkling values on the market today. Crafted with traditional Spanish varieties for Cava – Xarel.lo, Macabeo and Parellada – from 25-year-old vines in the famed Penedès area, it’s made in the traditional method. Crisp and classy, I call it a “stock-up sparkling star.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.vineyardbrands.com/producer.aspx?id=31\">\u003cstrong>2017 Domaine Matrot Bourgogne Blanc\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Burgundy, France, $29\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe Matrot family has been iconic in the Burgundy region of France for more than a century. Today, it’s run by Thierry and Pascale Matrot who are working alongside their daughters, Adèle and Elsa. Located in the heralded white-wine mecca, Meursault, their organically farmed vineyards represent some of Burgundy’s best. This white is made with Chardonnay grown near the appellation of Meursault from 30-year-old vines. It sports a kiss of creamy complexity from barrel fermentation, but the lemony ping and purity of fruit are what shine through. A gorgeously affordable version of white Burgundy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lailvineyards.com/product/2018-Blueprint-Sauvignon-Blanc\">\u003cstrong>2018 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Napa Valley, California, $40\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nBlueprint is a stylish wine label making a statement. Created by Napa Valley wine royalty, Robin Daniel Lail, it honors climate change pioneers who according to the winery, “put the health of our planet ahead of quarterly reports and the bottom line.” Robin grew up as part of the family behind the legendary, Inglenook winery. She also co-founded two benchmark wineries: Dominus with Christian Moueix and Merryvale Vineyards with Bill Harlan. In other words, she knows Napa Valley. So does winemaker, Philippe Melka, who has crafted a white of precision and purity. A serious Sauvignon Blanc that doesn’t sacrifice juicy citrus succulence and pure drinking pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shafervineyards.com/wine/hillside-select.php\">\u003cstrong>2015 Shafer ‘Hillside Select’ Estate Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, $310\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen people ask me about collectible reds, I recommend my short list of “GWTBD Wines: Greatest Wines to Try Before You Die”. Shafer’s Hillside Select is on that list as it’s simply one of THE best wines in the world. Every vintage is age-worthy and classic. Why? Because of the meticulous care and focus in the vineyards and cellar of both Doug Shafer and winemaker, Elias Fernandez. When I’m lucky enough to open and enjoy a bottle, I’m always left with a sense of awe. The 2015 is perfectly balanced power. Ripe, dark fruit notes lushly wrap the structured core of polished tannins and sleek acidity to create an opulent red. You can decant the bottle and drink it now, but this is one that will age with grace for decades. If you ever want to splurge on wine to impress others (or most importantly…to impress yourself), Shafer Hillside Select is my top recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://michters.com/us1-toasted-barrel-finish-sour-mash/\">\u003cstrong>Michter’s ‘Toasted Barrel Finish’ Sour Mash Whiskey\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Louisville, Kentucky, $180 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis is a spirit for the ages. In 2019, the Michter’s ‘Toasted Barrel Finish’ Limited Release was named “Whisky Of The Year” by The Whisky Exchange. Never before has an American whiskey taken that honor. It’s no surprise, though. Let me state that I’m a Michter’s fan, too. Every bottle I’ve ever sipped from them has been a treat. But this one is unique. It uses their US1 Sour Mash Whiskey as the base to age in custom made barrels. These barrels are toasted but not charred, which imparts a soft, caramel-like sweetness to the whiskey. My favorite way to sip this brown-spirit-treasure is to pour a small amount in a glass and savor it for hours. It continually changes and evolves down to the last drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20721\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20721\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 9. \u003ccite>(Anthonia Onyejekwe/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

Founded in 1970, it’s now the fifth generation of the Forner family at the helm. From their elegant reds to refreshing rosado, this is a name to seek out for sheer deliciousness. Their Cava is one of the best sparkling values on the market today. Crafted with traditional Spanish varieties for Cava – Xarel.lo, Macabeo and Parellada – from 25-year-old vines in the famed Penedès area, it’s made in the traditional method. Crisp and classy, I call it a “stock-up sparkling star.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Today, it’s run by Thierry and Pascale Matrot who are working alongside their daughters, Adèle and Elsa. Located in the heralded white-wine mecca, Meursault, their organically farmed vineyards represent some of Burgundy’s best. This white is made with Chardonnay grown near the appellation of Meursault from 30-year-old vines. It sports a kiss of creamy complexity from barrel fermentation, but the lemony ping and purity of fruit are what shine through. A gorgeously affordable version of white Burgundy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lailvineyards.com/product/2018-Blueprint-Sauvignon-Blanc\">\u003cstrong>2018 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Napa Valley, California, $40\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nBlueprint is a stylish wine label making a statement. Created by Napa Valley wine royalty, Robin Daniel Lail, it honors climate change pioneers who according to the winery, “put the health of our planet ahead of quarterly reports and the bottom line.” Robin grew up as part of the family behind the legendary, Inglenook winery. She also co-founded two benchmark wineries: Dominus with Christian Moueix and Merryvale Vineyards with Bill Harlan. In other words, she knows Napa Valley. So does winemaker, Philippe Melka, who has crafted a white of precision and purity. A serious Sauvignon Blanc that doesn’t sacrifice juicy citrus succulence and pure drinking pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://shafervineyards.com/wine/hillside-select.php\">\u003cstrong>2015 Shafer ‘Hillside Select’ Estate Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, $310\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen people ask me about collectible reds, I recommend my short list of “GWTBD Wines: Greatest Wines to Try Before You Die”. Shafer’s Hillside Select is on that list as it’s simply one of THE best wines in the world. Every vintage is age-worthy and classic. Why? Because of the meticulous care and focus in the vineyards and cellar of both Doug Shafer and winemaker, Elias Fernandez. When I’m lucky enough to open and enjoy a bottle, I’m always left with a sense of awe. The 2015 is perfectly balanced power. Ripe, dark fruit notes lushly wrap the structured core of polished tannins and sleek acidity to create an opulent red. You can decant the bottle and drink it now, but this is one that will age with grace for decades. If you ever want to splurge on wine to impress others (or most importantly…to impress yourself), Shafer Hillside Select is my top recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://michters.com/us1-toasted-barrel-finish-sour-mash/\">\u003cstrong>Michter’s ‘Toasted Barrel Finish’ Sour Mash Whiskey\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Louisville, Kentucky, $180 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis is a spirit for the ages. In 2019, the Michter’s ‘Toasted Barrel Finish’ Limited Release was named “Whisky Of The Year” by The Whisky Exchange. Never before has an American whiskey taken that honor. It’s no surprise, though. Let me state that I’m a Michter’s fan, too. Every bottle I’ve ever sipped from them has been a treat. But this one is unique. It uses their US1 Sour Mash Whiskey as the base to age in custom made barrels. These barrels are toasted but not charred, which imparts a soft, caramel-like sweetness to the whiskey. My favorite way to sip this brown-spirit-treasure is to pour a small amount in a glass and savor it for hours. It continually changes and evolves down to the last drop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20721\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20721\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/lesliewine1509-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 9. \u003ccite>(Anthonia Onyejekwe/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

The area’s “anabatic winds” keep the vineyards cool, which allow the flavors of the grapes to gain complexity as they ripen slowly. The Sweazey family has created an oasis to take advantage of these climatic conditions that reminded founder, John Sweazey, of the Rhône Valley’s signature mistral winds. This dry-styled pink is a lovely expression of a Rhône variety, Grenache, with floral aromas and peachy juiciness. It’s complex and full of character. Note: the current vintage is 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.terlatovineyards.com/pinot-grigio\">\u003cstrong>2018 Terlato Vineyards Pinot Grigio\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fruili Colli Orientali, Italy, $25 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe Terlato family is famed in the wine world. They have spent more than 40 years seeking out and sharing discoveries with American drinkers. Though their portfolio includes lauded global names, I think of Terlato and Italy in the same breath. This regal Pinot Grigio focuses on the richness and depth the variety can achieve in northern Italy’s Friuli Colli Orientali region. With a streak of minerality and citrusy brightness, it showcases the sheer deliciousness of a serious Pinot Grigio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bodega-tapiz.com.ar/en/wines/zolo-wines\">\u003cstrong>2017 Zolo Reserve Cabernet Franc\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mendoza, Argentina, $21\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA beautifully built wine that defies its price tag, I recommend buying as much as you can find. When most people think of reds from Argentina, Malbec is what comes to mind. This wine, however, is made with only Cabernet Franc grapes grown high in Mendoza’s Uco Valley. Argentinean Fabián Valenzuela, along with Jean Claude Berrouet, a noted winemaker in France’s Pomerol region, share a pedigree for making world class Bordeaux-styled wines. The Zolo Cabernet Franc is smooth with sultry spice. Sure, it’s ideal with beef, but it’s also elegant enough to partner with roast chicken and even grilled swordfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mettlerwine.com/\">\u003cstrong>2017 Mettler Family Vineyards Old Vine ‘Epicenter’ Zinfandel\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Lodi, California, $25\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nA true family operation, the Mettler’s are iconic in the Lodi area of California. I’m a longtime fan of the region. Located in the Sacramento River Delta, Lodi has a warm Mediterranean climate but enjoys cooling breezes, which is a winning combination. Along with many century old-vine vineyards, it’s a unique spot. The Mettler’s have been grape growers in Lodi since the 1800s and are now on the 6th generation continuing the family business. To say they know how to grow and make Zinfandel – one of Lodi’s stars – is an understatement. This stunning red is rich and full-bodied, spicy and saturated with dark fruit notes. It’s an affordable luxury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hotalingandco.com/junipero/\">\u003cstrong>Hotaling & Company Junípero Gin\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>San Francisco, California, $40 \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nGin is my jam when it comes to spirits. Yes, tequila is a favorite and so is whiskey, but for clear spirits, I’m a gin lover. This locally crafted bottling is all about power…San Francisco style. Its boozy power (98.6 proof!) makes it ideal for cocktails like martinis and negronis, but a simple gin and tonic takes on new dimensions with this spirit. Comprised of 12 botanicals, Junípero is juniper-forward with focused intensity. A true San Francisco treat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20692\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20692\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1508wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 8. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

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

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

But, the bubbly benchmarks in Willamette Valley are those from Argyle. Rollin Soles founded the winery back in 1987 with the goal of making serious sparklers. He did, and now winemaker, Nate Klostermann, is continuing the winery’s passion for excellence. This pink bubbly is a delicious detour from drinking Champagne or California sparkling wine. Crisp and complex, it’s a Pinot Noir-based bottle of effervescence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.merryedwards.com/xe/xe.asp?page=viewitem&p=18sb7x&cat=cv%2Drrv%2Dsauvignon%2Dblanc\">\u003cstrong>2018 Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003cem> Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California $36\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhen talking about leading women of wine in the world, Merry Edwards ranks among the top tier. She is a California winemaking icon that has crafted classy wines for more than four decades. Though handing over the winemaking reins to Heidi von der Mehden, Merry’s mission remains the same – letting the vineyards shine. This Sauvignon Blanc is one of California’s best. It uses barrel fermentation for complexity and showcases the aromatic qualities of the clone, Sauvignon Musqué. Ripe fruit and floral notes draw you in, then one sip leads to another as you savor the crisp, minerally white. When I see this wine on any restaurant wine list, I grab it. It’s a beauty to explore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.merryedwards.com/xe/xe.asp?page=viewitem&p=17me7x&cat=cv%2Dmeredith%2Destate%2Dpinot%2Dnoir\">2017 Merry Edwards ‘Meredith Estate’ Pinot Noir\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, $68\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis special Meredith Estate Pinot Noir is the pride and joy of the winery. Using estate fruit, it’s a Pinot Noir that embodies the silky qualities of the grape. Smooth and sultry with red berry flavors and a dark spice kick on the finish, it’s a wine to pair with dishes from bacon-wrapped, orange marmalade-glazed pork tenderloin to creamy, pungent cheeses. It’s also a treat to simply uncork the bottle and enjoy a glass in your pajamas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theracingserieswines.com/\">\u003cstrong>2016 Adobe Road Winery ‘Shift’ Red Blend\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Sonoma County, California, $56\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat a cool bottle. That’s all I can say. When this wine arrived in my office from a local producer (I also live in Sonoma County’s town of Petaluma where the tasting room is based), I immediately stopped to admire it. Resembling a vintage gear shaft with the cork as a shift knob, it’s eye-catching. My car is a stick shift, so I fell for it just from the package alone. The owner, Kevin Buckler, is a legendary race car driver so it makes sense. The wine is delicious fun, too. A blend of Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache and Petite Sirah, it’s bold and rich. An indulgence with grilled steak or a superb gift for the car lover in your life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eltesorotequila.com/our-tequilas/paradiso\">\u003cstrong>El Tesoro ‘Paradiso’ Extra Anejo Tequila\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mexico, $120\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs an unabashed lover of tequila, I’m always on the hunt for delicious versions. This superbly special bottling from El Tesoro ranks among the best I’ve ever sipped. A collaboration between Mexico’s El Tesoro and France’s Cognac producer, A. de Fussigny, it’s a tequila that qualifies as liquid gold. Aged for five years (hence the Extra Anejo designation) in French oak barrels that were previously used to age Cognac, it’s underlying agave earthiness is layered with notes of vanilla, caramel and toffee. Buy the bottle, then treat yourself to a nightly sip. It’s a splurge worthy of Paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20679\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20679\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 7. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

He did, and now winemaker, Nate Klostermann, is continuing the winery’s passion for excellence. This pink bubbly is a delicious detour from drinking Champagne or California sparkling wine. Crisp and complex, it’s a Pinot Noir-based bottle of effervescence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She is a California winemaking icon that has crafted classy wines for more than four decades. Though handing over the winemaking reins to Heidi von der Mehden, Merry’s mission remains the same – letting the vineyards shine. This Sauvignon Blanc is one of California’s best. It uses barrel fermentation for complexity and showcases the aromatic qualities of the clone, Sauvignon Musqué. Ripe fruit and floral notes draw you in, then one sip leads to another as you savor the crisp, minerally white. When I see this wine on any restaurant wine list, I grab it. It’s a beauty to explore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.merryedwards.com/xe/xe.asp?page=viewitem&p=17me7x&cat=cv%2Dmeredith%2Destate%2Dpinot%2Dnoir\">2017 Merry Edwards ‘Meredith Estate’ Pinot Noir\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, $68\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThis special Meredith Estate Pinot Noir is the pride and joy of the winery. Using estate fruit, it’s a Pinot Noir that embodies the silky qualities of the grape. Smooth and sultry with red berry flavors and a dark spice kick on the finish, it’s a wine to pair with dishes from bacon-wrapped, orange marmalade-glazed pork tenderloin to creamy, pungent cheeses. It’s also a treat to simply uncork the bottle and enjoy a glass in your pajamas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.theracingserieswines.com/\">\u003cstrong>2016 Adobe Road Winery ‘Shift’ Red Blend\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Sonoma County, California, $56\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nWhat a cool bottle. That’s all I can say. When this wine arrived in my office from a local producer (I also live in Sonoma County’s town of Petaluma where the tasting room is based), I immediately stopped to admire it. Resembling a vintage gear shaft with the cork as a shift knob, it’s eye-catching. My car is a stick shift, so I fell for it just from the package alone. The owner, Kevin Buckler, is a legendary race car driver so it makes sense. The wine is delicious fun, too. A blend of Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache and Petite Sirah, it’s bold and rich. An indulgence with grilled steak or a superb gift for the car lover in your life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eltesorotequila.com/our-tequilas/paradiso\">\u003cstrong>El Tesoro ‘Paradiso’ Extra Anejo Tequila\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Mexico, $120\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAs an unabashed lover of tequila, I’m always on the hunt for delicious versions. This superbly special bottling from El Tesoro ranks among the best I’ve ever sipped. A collaboration between Mexico’s El Tesoro and France’s Cognac producer, A. de Fussigny, it’s a tequila that qualifies as liquid gold. Aged for five years (hence the Extra Anejo designation) in French oak barrels that were previously used to age Cognac, it’s underlying agave earthiness is layered with notes of vanilla, caramel and toffee. Buy the bottle, then treat yourself to a nightly sip. It’s a splurge worthy of Paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_20679\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20679\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2020/05/1507wine-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine and spirits guests drank on the set of season 15 episode 7. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Thirsty for more beverage advice?

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

The label is an ode to their 50 harvests in the Golden State. Winemaker Paul Scotto and Napa winemaking legend, Mitch Cosentino, have married nearly equal parts semillon and sauvignon blanc in a lusciously rich Bordeaux-style blend I call a “white wine for red wine lovers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.rameywine.com/wine-release/2016-chardonnay-rochioli-vineyard-russian-river-valley/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cb>2016 Ramey Chardonnay, Rochioli Vineyard\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ci>Russian River Valley, California, $65\u003c/i>\u003cbr>\nDavid Ramey is one of the noted names of California winemaking and the Rochioli family’s vineyards rank among the world’s best. Together, their talents result in this classy chardonnay. In “wine geek” speak, David uses native yeast for complexity. He lets the wine undergo full malolactic fermentation in oak barrels resting sur lie. What does this mean? Deliciousness.

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

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

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

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

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