Highlights include smoked and pickled fish boards, potato leek latkes, and hearty matzo ball soup; for a sweet finish, diners can savor their cinnamon or chocolate babkas. Next, \u003cstrong>Jackie’s Place\u003c/strong> in San Jose serves up soulful dishes seasoned with love, like fall-off-the-bone oxtails, smoky beef brisket, and creamy mac and cheese that keeps guests coming back for more. Lastly, \u003cstrong>Crescent Bistro\u003c/strong> in the heart of Pleasant Hill showcases elevated American cuisine infused with fresh Californian flair, including pork belly buns, cured salmon deviled eggs, and succulent red wine-braised short ribs.

It just so happens that Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in this warm yet breezy landscape. One of the best values on the red wine market today is the Cabernet Sauvignon from San Simeon by the Riboli Family of Wines. The vineyards are certified sustainable, and the Paso Robles winery is powered by solar panels, along with other eco-conscious practices. This is a wonderfully rich red with dark fruit notes and hints of spice.

Today, fourth-generation vintner Robin Daniel Lail continues the tradition of excellence with Lail Vineyards. The hallmark of their classic wines is elegance, complexity, and style. The 2022 BLUEPRINT Cabernet Sauvignon honors the family’s deep roots in design and architectural achievements over their storied history. The garnet-hued, youthful red is packed with aromas of dark berry fruit intensity, layered with notes of cocoa and savory spice. It is ready to drink now with a few hours of decanting—or, better yet, hold on to the bottle for up to a decade to unravel its age-worthy pedigree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTE: Lail Vineyards donates 10% of online sales of our Blueprint wines to organizations deep in the fight against climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Episode Transcript\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"394\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"354\">Leslie Sbrocco:\u003c/strong> Jewish deli delights in Santa Rosa…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"452\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"418\">Monicamary Falcon:\u003c/strong> I have to just keep going back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"507\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"473\">Leslie Sbrocco:\u003c/strong> Southern soul food in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"566\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"525\">Mike Nguyen:\u003c/strong> Mind-blowing.

Next, \u003cstrong>Jackie’s Place\u003c/strong> in San Jose serves up soulful dishes seasoned with love, like fall-off-the-bone oxtails, smoky beef brisket, and creamy mac and cheese that keeps guests coming back for more. Lastly, \u003cstrong>Crescent Bistro\u003c/strong> in the heart of Pleasant Hill showcases elevated American cuisine infused with fresh Californian flair, including pork belly buns, cured salmon deviled eggs, and succulent red wine-braised short ribs.

It just so happens that Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in this warm yet breezy landscape. One of the best values on the red wine market today is the Cabernet Sauvignon from San Simeon by the Riboli Family of Wines. The vineyards are certified sustainable, and the Paso Robles winery is powered by solar panels, along with other eco-conscious practices. This is a wonderfully rich red with dark fruit notes and hints of spice.

Today, fourth-generation vintner Robin Daniel Lail continues the tradition of excellence with Lail Vineyards. The hallmark of their classic wines is elegance, complexity, and style. The 2022 BLUEPRINT Cabernet Sauvignon honors the family’s deep roots in design and architectural achievements over their storied history. The garnet-hued, youthful red is packed with aromas of dark berry fruit intensity, layered with notes of cocoa and savory spice. It is ready to drink now with a few hours of decanting—or, better yet, hold on to the bottle for up to a decade to unravel its age-worthy pedigree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTE: Lail Vineyards donates 10% of online sales of our Blueprint wines to organizations deep in the fight against climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Episode Transcript\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"394\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"335\" data-end=\"354\">Leslie Sbrocco:\u003c/strong> Jewish deli delights in Santa Rosa…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"452\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"396\" data-end=\"418\">Monicamary Falcon:\u003c/strong> I have to just keep going back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"507\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"473\">Leslie Sbrocco:\u003c/strong> Southern soul food in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"566\">\u003cstrong data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"525\">Mike Nguyen:\u003c/strong> Mind-blowing.
