Bay Area\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>. Each week, I will be sharing my tasting notes about the wine the guests and I drank on set during the taping of the show. Also, in my “What to Sip” suggestions, I choose one restaurant from each show and offer tips for selecting libations to enjoy with your meal.\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nChatting with \u003cstrong>Joyce Goldstein\u003c/strong> — a Bay Area treasure — was sheer pleasure. What added to our conversation was sipping bubbly during the show. I chose to pour Schramsberg, Napa’s sparkling wine star. Their selection of sparklers is world class. From the affordable Mirabelle bottling to the coveted J. Schram, Schramsberg’s lineup shines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended wines:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Schramsberg “Mirabelle” Brut Rosé, $24\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDelicate aromas of strawberry and floral notes lead into a refreshing sparkler that is perfect for any holiday meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2005 Schramsberg “Blanc de Blancs” $35\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCrisp, elegant, and complex, this lovely Chardonnay-based bubbly is a top choice for a range of shellfish from oysters to crab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to Sip: Medjool, B44, and DaFlora\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Medjool\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe hip restaurant-cum-nightclub, Medjool, has an enviable wine list. There’s much to be said for restraint when it comes to a well-chosen list. Bigger is not always better. Medjool’s one-page list is organized by style category with headers such as “voluptuous whites and vivacious reds.” Winners abound with pricing mostly in the under $50 category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My don’t-miss wines include the luscious white blend of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, and Aligote from \u003cstrong>Au Bon Climat\u003c/strong> in California’s Santa Maria Valley \u003cstrong>($38)\u003c/strong>, and the eclectic, earthy red, \u003cstrong>Cuvee Rouge from Chateau Musar in Lebanon ($38)\u003c/strong>. Both of these selections are ideal with the Mediterranean-influenced cuisine served up at Medjool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>B44\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTake a virtual vinous trip to Spain just by perusing the fantastic wine list at B44. The selections are primarily Spanish but are peppered with well-chosen French and California options, as well. Organized by style with price ranges for all budgets, it’s an exciting task to pick a wine (or wines) for your meal. I recommend seeking out hot Spanish winemaker \u003cstrong>Telmo Rodriquez\u003c/strong>’s crisp white from Rueda in Spain \u003cstrong>($22)\u003c/strong> made with Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo, and Viura grapes. Also, a unique white to sample is from \u003cstrong>Segura Viudas\u003c/strong> named \u003cstrong>“Creu de Lavit”\u003c/strong>. Priced at a cool \u003cstrong>$30\u003c/strong>, it’s a winner for shellfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With hearty fare, spend a bit more on \u003cstrong>Vall Llach’s “Idus” ($99)\u003c/strong> from the rugged Priorat region of northeastern Spain. Made with red grapes Carinena and Garnacha, it’s earthy and powerful. Some of my favorite but hard-to-find reds hail from the Bierzo region of Spain. The grape variety is the rare Mencia and it produces elegant, Pinot Noir-like reds. B44’s list has two to try: the \u003cstrong>Domino de Tares\u003c/strong> for a deliciously affordable price of \u003cstrong>$35\u003c/strong> and the \u003cstrong>Descendientes de Jose Palacios Petalos de Bierzo\u003c/strong> for a mere \u003cstrong>$45\u003c/strong>. I’m on my way to enjoy a dish of paella and a bottle of this beautiful wine right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Da Flora\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis small, North Beach spot is a culinary treasure. Not only did the Venetian-inspired cuisine garner raves from our guests, the wine list is one worth exploring again and again. Owner Flora Gaspar has compiled an eclectic array of Italian wines that rotates regularly. The picks I’ve chosen may not be available on your next visit, but have no fear as Flora’s frequent jaunts to Italy result in fairly-priced, sure-fire selections. Though each of the wine options has an accompanying description, I recommend asking Flora for her help when navigating the terrific list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2004 Sergio Zenato, Lugana San Benedetto, Veneto $32\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt’s tough to find wines priced under $40 on high-end lists in the city, but Flora offers a selection of them. This white — made from the Trebbiano grape variety — comes from northern Italy around the shores of beautiful Lake Garda. Juicy and smooth, it drinks well as a cocktail before dinner or with the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2001 Arnoldo Caprai, Sagrantino di Montefalco “Collepiano,” Umbria $95\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis is a rare red made from the Sagrantino variety in Umbria, which is Tuscany’s neighbor. Deeply-colored and dripping with wild berry flavors, this is a powerful wine to experience with hearty meat dishes. A sexy stunner.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Bay Area\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>. Each week, I will be sharing my tasting notes about the wine the guests and I drank on set during the taping of the show. Also, in my “What to Sip” suggestions, I choose one restaurant from each show and offer tips for selecting libations to enjoy with your meal.\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003cbr>\nChatting with \u003cstrong>Joyce Goldstein\u003c/strong> — a Bay Area treasure — was sheer pleasure. What added to our conversation was sipping bubbly during the show. I chose to pour Schramsberg, Napa’s sparkling wine star. Their selection of sparklers is world class. From the affordable Mirabelle bottling to the coveted J. Schram, Schramsberg’s lineup shines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended wines:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Schramsberg “Mirabelle” Brut Rosé, $24\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDelicate aromas of strawberry and floral notes lead into a refreshing sparkler that is perfect for any holiday meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2005 Schramsberg “Blanc de Blancs” $35\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCrisp, elegant, and complex, this lovely Chardonnay-based bubbly is a top choice for a range of shellfish from oysters to crab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to Sip: Medjool, B44, and DaFlora\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Medjool\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe hip restaurant-cum-nightclub, Medjool, has an enviable wine list. There’s much to be said for restraint when it comes to a well-chosen list. Bigger is not always better. Medjool’s one-page list is organized by style category with headers such as “voluptuous whites and vivacious reds.” Winners abound with pricing mostly in the under $50 category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My don’t-miss wines include the luscious white blend of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, and Aligote from \u003cstrong>Au Bon Climat\u003c/strong> in California’s Santa Maria Valley \u003cstrong>($38)\u003c/strong>, and the eclectic, earthy red, \u003cstrong>Cuvee Rouge from Chateau Musar in Lebanon ($38)\u003c/strong>. Both of these selections are ideal with the Mediterranean-influenced cuisine served up at Medjool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>B44\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nTake a virtual vinous trip to Spain just by perusing the fantastic wine list at B44. The selections are primarily Spanish but are peppered with well-chosen French and California options, as well. Organized by style with price ranges for all budgets, it’s an exciting task to pick a wine (or wines) for your meal. I recommend seeking out hot Spanish winemaker \u003cstrong>Telmo Rodriquez\u003c/strong>’s crisp white from Rueda in Spain \u003cstrong>($22)\u003c/strong> made with Sauvignon Blanc, Verdejo, and Viura grapes. Also, a unique white to sample is from \u003cstrong>Segura Viudas\u003c/strong> named \u003cstrong>“Creu de Lavit”\u003c/strong>. Priced at a cool \u003cstrong>$30\u003c/strong>, it’s a winner for shellfish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With hearty fare, spend a bit more on \u003cstrong>Vall Llach’s “Idus” ($99)\u003c/strong> from the rugged Priorat region of northeastern Spain. Made with red grapes Carinena and Garnacha, it’s earthy and powerful. Some of my favorite but hard-to-find reds hail from the Bierzo region of Spain. The grape variety is the rare Mencia and it produces elegant, Pinot Noir-like reds. B44’s list has two to try: the \u003cstrong>Domino de Tares\u003c/strong> for a deliciously affordable price of \u003cstrong>$35\u003c/strong> and the \u003cstrong>Descendientes de Jose Palacios Petalos de Bierzo\u003c/strong> for a mere \u003cstrong>$45\u003c/strong>. I’m on my way to enjoy a dish of paella and a bottle of this beautiful wine right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Da Flora\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis small, North Beach spot is a culinary treasure. Not only did the Venetian-inspired cuisine garner raves from our guests, the wine list is one worth exploring again and again. Owner Flora Gaspar has compiled an eclectic array of Italian wines that rotates regularly. The picks I’ve chosen may not be available on your next visit, but have no fear as Flora’s frequent jaunts to Italy result in fairly-priced, sure-fire selections. Though each of the wine options has an accompanying description, I recommend asking Flora for her help when navigating the terrific list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2004 Sergio Zenato, Lugana San Benedetto, Veneto $32\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt’s tough to find wines priced under $40 on high-end lists in the city, but Flora offers a selection of them. This white — made from the Trebbiano grape variety — comes from northern Italy around the shores of beautiful Lake Garda. Juicy and smooth, it drinks well as a cocktail before dinner or with the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2001 Arnoldo Caprai, Sagrantino di Montefalco “Collepiano,” Umbria $95\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis is a rare red made from the Sagrantino variety in Umbria, which is Tuscany’s neighbor. Deeply-colored and dripping with wild berry flavors, this is a powerful wine to experience with hearty meat dishes. A sexy stunner.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A family-owned property founded in 1849, the winery ranks among my favorites from Down Under. Their lush, dark-berry scented Shiraz is actually co-fermented with a dash of the white grape Viognier to add complexity, intensity, and elegance to the wine. Try this beauty with lamb, sausage pizza, or duck breast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to Sip: Kirala\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf you’re not acquainted with sake — the Japanese alcoholic beverage made from rice — then Kirala is the spot to learn. You can take a delicious journey through various types of sake and discover the differences with their signature sampling menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make sake, rice is polished then fermented. Depending upon the polishing level of the rice, sake is separated into categories including junmai (pronounced june-mi), gingo (gin-joe), and finally, daigingo (dye-gin-joe). These correspond to the various styles and quality of sake, and all three are worth a taste test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirala offers traditional carafes of sake, so you can enjoy a small amount or you can order a whole bottle. I recommend the “Intro Tasting Flight” for less than $10 to sample selections from all three categories. If you are already an aficionado and want to splurge on a whole bottle of ethereal yet sultry sake, try the Masumi “Yumedono” Daigingo for a mere $128. Serious sake.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A family-owned property founded in 1849, the winery ranks among my favorites from Down Under. Their lush, dark-berry scented Shiraz is actually co-fermented with a dash of the white grape Viognier to add complexity, intensity, and elegance to the wine. Try this beauty with lamb, sausage pizza, or duck breast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to Sip: Kirala\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf you’re not acquainted with sake — the Japanese alcoholic beverage made from rice — then Kirala is the spot to learn. You can take a delicious journey through various types of sake and discover the differences with their signature sampling menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make sake, rice is polished then fermented. Depending upon the polishing level of the rice, sake is separated into categories including junmai (pronounced june-mi), gingo (gin-joe), and finally, daigingo (dye-gin-joe). These correspond to the various styles and quality of sake, and all three are worth a taste test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kirala offers traditional carafes of sake, so you can enjoy a small amount or you can order a whole bottle. I recommend the “Intro Tasting Flight” for less than $10 to sample selections from all three categories. If you are already an aficionado and want to splurge on a whole bottle of ethereal yet sultry sake, try the Masumi “Yumedono” Daigingo for a mere $128. Serious sake.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The food is authentic Italian, the atmosphere is welcoming, the service is impeccable, and the 2-page wine list is a taste treat. It offers a selection of California classics, but I suggest sipping Italian all night long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, kick off with the aromatic dry rose from northern Italian wine superstar \u003cstrong>Alois Lageder\u003c/strong>. Juicy, spicy and fresh, it’s offered by the glass or bottle ($9 and $36) so you can enjoy a sip while unwinding or paired with one of Stella Alpina’s beautiful salads. Next, make sure to ask for a special order of the stuffed gnocchi with truffle in brown butter sauce and uncork a bottle of Vietti’s elegant red, \u003cstrong>Barbera D’Asti “Tre Vigne”\u003c/strong> ($45).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, for those who crave hearty fare, don’t miss Chef Ferrari’s signature Spezzatino al Barolo beef stew served over polenta. Pair it with a bottle of \u003cstrong>Sylla Sebasate Barolo Bussio\u003c/strong>, which is a well-aged, supple, and stylish red ($48 half bottle/$95 full bottle). The magnificent combination will transport you to Italy…if only for an evening.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Due to ageing in stainless steel and not oak barrels, this refreshing white captures Chardonnay’s bright fruit flavors with a tinge of minerality on the palate. Grab some oysters and a bottle and prepare for pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What to Sip: Stella Alpina Osteria:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If I lived anywhere near this restaurant, I would be a regular. The food is authentic Italian, the atmosphere is welcoming, the service is impeccable, and the 2-page wine list is a taste treat. It offers a selection of California classics, but I suggest sipping Italian all night long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, kick off with the aromatic dry rose from northern Italian wine superstar \u003cstrong>Alois Lageder\u003c/strong>. Juicy, spicy and fresh, it’s offered by the glass or bottle ($9 and $36) so you can enjoy a sip while unwinding or paired with one of Stella Alpina’s beautiful salads. Next, make sure to ask for a special order of the stuffed gnocchi with truffle in brown butter sauce and uncork a bottle of Vietti’s elegant red, \u003cstrong>Barbera D’Asti “Tre Vigne”\u003c/strong> ($45).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, for those who crave hearty fare, don’t miss Chef Ferrari’s signature Spezzatino al Barolo beef stew served over polenta. Pair it with a bottle of \u003cstrong>Sylla Sebasate Barolo Bussio\u003c/strong>, which is a well-aged, supple, and stylish red ($48 half bottle/$95 full bottle). The magnificent combination will transport you to Italy…if only for an evening.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Then look to Alsace for a food-friendly half bottle of \u003cstrong>Riesling from Domaine Weinbach ($60)\u003c/strong>.

A \u003cstrong>1978 Chateau de Beaucastel\u003c/strong> for $425. Italian superstars like \u003cstrong>Brunello di Montalcino 1995\u003c/strong> from Soldera will tip the scales at more than $1,000.

Fueling the fun is a wine list that focuses on Italian selections with a handful of California bottles for good measure. With a group and don’t want to spend a fortune on vino? Order a bottle of the crowd-pleasing \u003cstrong>Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio ($36)\u003c/strong>. This light white hails from Tuscany and is ideal with antipasto. Another interesting white to try is \u003cstrong>Arancio Grillo from Sicily ($32)\u003c/strong>. With aromas of ripe fruit and toasted nuts, it’s a wine to handle rich pastas or fish. You can spend hundreds to sip a top red from Brunello di Montalcinos to Super Tuscans like Ornellaia, but you can also swirl the elegant \u003cstrong>Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico\u003c/strong> or earthy \u003cstrong>Valpolicella Ripasso\u003c/strong> for under $50. Both wines will complement meat dishes, cheeses, and red sauces while inspiring great conversation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
