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

Made in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, the sugarcane that goes into this Rum gains a certain sense of place, which lends distinct flavors to the Rum. The Signature Blend combines more than 15 different ages of Rum, which gives a smooth, citrusy edge to the spirit. One of my ideal ways to enjoy it is with a splash of ginger beer and sprig of mint.

About the different sizes of wine bottles.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.vonschubert.com/en/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 von Schubert, Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany\u003c/a> $29\u003cbr>\nOn my first trip to Germany, I had the fortune of visiting the bucolic winery, Weingut Maximin Grünhaus, and meeting Carl von Schubert, a legend in Riesling. The von Schubert family estate stretches as far as the eye can see up the steep slopes of the river valley and includes three famed vineyards: the Abtsberg, the Herrenberg, and the Bruderberg. All unique, each vineyard produces wines of distinction. I have a personal love for the Abtsberg, which refers to its history the place grapes were grown for the Abbey of St. Maximin. Vines have been planted in the blue slate soils for nearly 1,000 years. With just 7.5 percent alcohol, this ethereal, aromatic white smells of peaches and orange blossoms. The mouthfeel is delicate with a medium-sweet finish making it a wine to pair alongside fiery, spicy fare or fruit-based desserts. This is Riesling at its best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.martinraywinery.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 Martin Ray, Pinot Noir, Green Valley of Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California\u003c/a> $40\u003cbr>\nMartin Ray has a legacy as a California winemaking pioneer. Though the brand began in the Santa Cruz Mountains decades ago, it’s now based in one of the state’s oldest continually-working wineries in Sonoma county. This fleshy yet perfumed Pinot Noir showcases the effects of growing grapes in the rich Gold Ridge soil of Russian River Valley’s special Green Valley. Here the fog lingers keeping temperatures cool, which ultimately creates wines of elegance and style. A beautiful red that will surprise and impress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://19crimes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 “19 Crimes” Red Wine, South Eastern Australia\u003c/a> $12\u003cbr>\nThe story behind the 19 Crimes brand is whimsical, which is part of the enjoyment of drinking this juicy, peppery red blend. It’s not a serious wine, but seriously fun to sip. In the late 1700s when Australia was a British colony, criminals convicted of one of nineteen crimes were sent to live in Australia as punishment. They called it “conviction by transportation.” Today, we would call living Down Under winning the lottery! Ah, what a few hundred years does to our perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.broadbent.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broadbent Madeira Malmsey 10 Years Old, Portugal\u003c/a> $45\u003cbr>\nMadeira is one of the most famed wines and is undergoing a renaissance in the United States thanks in part to the efforts of Bartholomew Broadbent. Though he imports world-class wine from around the globe, his Broadbent Maderia label has special meaning. It was inspired by his wine-icon father, Master of Wine and writer, Michael Broadbent. With his father’s blending acumen at hand, Bartholomew founded his brand of fortified wines from Madeira, the Portuguese island located 400 miles off the coast of Africa. This Malmsey (name of a grape variety) is an aged, sweet style with toasted almond and toffee aromas layered with bright acidity and lusciously sweet yet balanced flavors. Pour as a perfect complement to an après-dinner cheese platter. Then, send the Broadbent boys a kiss of thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18192\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18192\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 6.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 6. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here is the recipe for the Pyrenees Cocktail that Leslie served to the guests in this episode:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18191\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18191\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1.jpg\" alt=\"Get a taste of the Pyrenees with this delicious and flavorful cocktail recipe featuring Pistachio oil!\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get a taste of the Pyrenees with this delicious and flavorful cocktail recipe featuring Pistachio oil! \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Pyrenees Cocktail\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes one cocktail\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 ounces Lustau Solera Reserva Brandy\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon egg whites\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Orange Blossom Water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon La Tourangelle Pistachio Oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled glass.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Serve immediately.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\n",

The von Schubert family estate stretches as far as the eye can see up the steep slopes of the river valley and includes three famed vineyards: the Abtsberg, the Herrenberg, and the Bruderberg. All unique, each vineyard produces wines of distinction. I have a personal love for the Abtsberg, which refers to its history the place grapes were grown for the Abbey of St. Maximin. Vines have been planted in the blue slate soils for nearly 1,000 years. With just 7.5 percent alcohol, this ethereal, aromatic white smells of peaches and orange blossoms. The mouthfeel is delicate with a medium-sweet finish making it a wine to pair alongside fiery, spicy fare or fruit-based desserts. This is Riesling at its best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Though the brand began in the Santa Cruz Mountains decades ago, it’s now based in one of the state’s oldest continually-working wineries in Sonoma county. This fleshy yet perfumed Pinot Noir showcases the effects of growing grapes in the rich Gold Ridge soil of Russian River Valley’s special Green Valley. Here the fog lingers keeping temperatures cool, which ultimately creates wines of elegance and style. A beautiful red that will surprise and impress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://19crimes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 “19 Crimes” Red Wine, South Eastern Australia\u003c/a> $12\u003cbr>\nThe story behind the 19 Crimes brand is whimsical, which is part of the enjoyment of drinking this juicy, peppery red blend. It’s not a serious wine, but seriously fun to sip. In the late 1700s when Australia was a British colony, criminals convicted of one of nineteen crimes were sent to live in Australia as punishment. They called it “conviction by transportation.” Today, we would call living Down Under winning the lottery! Ah, what a few hundred years does to our perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.broadbent.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broadbent Madeira Malmsey 10 Years Old, Portugal\u003c/a> $45\u003cbr>\nMadeira is one of the most famed wines and is undergoing a renaissance in the United States thanks in part to the efforts of Bartholomew Broadbent. Though he imports world-class wine from around the globe, his Broadbent Maderia label has special meaning. It was inspired by his wine-icon father, Master of Wine and writer, Michael Broadbent. With his father’s blending acumen at hand, Bartholomew founded his brand of fortified wines from Madeira, the Portuguese island located 400 miles off the coast of Africa. This Malmsey (name of a grape variety) is an aged, sweet style with toasted almond and toffee aromas layered with bright acidity and lusciously sweet yet balanced flavors. Pour as a perfect complement to an après-dinner cheese platter. Then, send the Broadbent boys a kiss of thanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18192\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18192\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 6.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 6. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here is the recipe for the Pyrenees Cocktail that Leslie served to the guests in this episode:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18191\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18191\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1.jpg\" alt=\"Get a taste of the Pyrenees with this delicious and flavorful cocktail recipe featuring Pistachio oil!\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1206-guests-cocktail1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get a taste of the Pyrenees with this delicious and flavorful cocktail recipe featuring Pistachio oil! \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Pyrenees Cocktail\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes one cocktail\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2 ounces Lustau Solera Reserva Brandy\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tablespoon egg whites\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Orange Blossom Water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon La Tourangelle Pistachio Oil\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled glass.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Serve immediately.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

With a world-class art gallery and unique tasting experiences, the winery is one of my top picks when visiting Napa. It’s a destination worthy of its famed reputation due to the wines, too, with stars including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. This bottling demonstrates Hess Collection’s focus on quality.

With a world-class art gallery and unique tasting experiences, the winery is one of my top picks when visiting Napa. It’s a destination worthy of its famed reputation due to the wines, too, with stars including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. This bottling demonstrates Hess Collection’s focus on quality. From their Su’skol vineyard, which is influenced by the cooling breezes of San Pablo Bay, the wine is all about balance. The crisp acidity is layered with creamy complexity from a small percentage of oak aging and malolactic fermentation. With an affordable price tag, it’s one to enjoy regularly (daily would be ideal).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Packed with bittersweet chocolate notes and a decadent roasted richness, it’s a beer that will drape you in deliciousness. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18112\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wine, beer and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 4.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1657\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18112\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-160x138.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-800x690.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-768x663.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-1020x880.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-1180x1018.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-960x829.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-240x207.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-375x324.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/05/cp1204-wine-520x449.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wine, beer and spirits that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 4. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A popular brew from Belgium, Palm dates to 1747 and integrates quality English hops with French barley and Belgian yeast. An international sip that will transport you to Europe in a glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.latisimports.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rodenbach Caractère Rouge, Belgium\u003c/a> $24 (per 750 ml bottle)\u003cbr>\nPalm also produces a deliciously different sour red/brown beer from Rodenbach brewery. This tart and zesty ale is made by soaking sour cherries, raspberries, and cranberries with the beer for six months. It’s like sipping a fruit bowl of freshness and flavor. The fermentation process is unique, too, as top yeasts and flora mature for 24 months in 150-year-old oak casks. I was surprisingly pleased by the mouth-puckering, elegant quality of this beer. It’s almost like drinking a light-hearted Pinot Noir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.weingutwittmann.de/en/wine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2015 Wittmann Riesling Troken, Rheinhessen, Germany\u003c/a> $20\u003cbr>\nAs a Riesling lover, I’m constantly searching for bottles that showcase the best of the variety. This mineral-laden, citrus-scented, dry-styled beauty is one to seek out. Crafted by the Wittmann’s whose family-owned winery in the Rheinhessen has a viticultural history back to 1663, the grapes are biodynamically grown. Pick up a few bottles and try it for yourself with spicy food or a selection of fresh cheeses. You, too, will fall under the spell of Riesling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranchvineyards.com/products/detail/2013-reata-three-county-pinot-noir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013 Reata “Three County” Pinot Noir, California\u003c/a> $35\u003cbr>\nReata’s full-bodied Pinot Noir is a blend of grapes from Monterey, San Benito and Sonoma counties. It’s a Pinot with suppleness and ripe fruit notes. Enjoy it alongside a pork loin roast glazed with a wine reduction sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.blandys.com/wines/our-wines.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blandy’s Sercial Dry Madeira 10 Years, Portugal\u003c/a> $30 (500 ml bottle size)\u003cbr>\nThe oldest wine I’ve ever had the privilege of tasting was an 1811 Blandy’s Madiera. It was remarkable and ageless. It was as if the picture of Dorian Gray came to life in my glass. Can a wine still have life after 200 years? Yes, if it’s Madeira. A fortified made on the Portuguese island of Madiera located 400 miles off the coast of Africa, Madeira is the world’s longest-lived wine. It is also an underappreciated food wine. The Blandy’s dry Sercial is appealingly fresh with nutty aromas and an earthy elegance.

A popular brew from Belgium, Palm dates to 1747 and integrates quality English hops with French barley and Belgian yeast. An international sip that will transport you to Europe in a glass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This tart and zesty ale is made by soaking sour cherries, raspberries, and cranberries with the beer for six months. It’s like sipping a fruit bowl of freshness and flavor. The fermentation process is unique, too, as top yeasts and flora mature for 24 months in 150-year-old oak casks. I was surprisingly pleased by the mouth-puckering, elegant quality of this beer. It’s almost like drinking a light-hearted Pinot Noir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.weingutwittmann.de/en/wine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2015 Wittmann Riesling Troken, Rheinhessen, Germany\u003c/a> $20\u003cbr>\nAs a Riesling lover, I’m constantly searching for bottles that showcase the best of the variety. This mineral-laden, citrus-scented, dry-styled beauty is one to seek out. Crafted by the Wittmann’s whose family-owned winery in the Rheinhessen has a viticultural history back to 1663, the grapes are biodynamically grown. Pick up a few bottles and try it for yourself with spicy food or a selection of fresh cheeses. You, too, will fall under the spell of Riesling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiesonranchvineyards.com/products/detail/2013-reata-three-county-pinot-noir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013 Reata “Three County” Pinot Noir, California\u003c/a> $35\u003cbr>\nReata’s full-bodied Pinot Noir is a blend of grapes from Monterey, San Benito and Sonoma counties. It’s a Pinot with suppleness and ripe fruit notes. Enjoy it alongside a pork loin roast glazed with a wine reduction sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.blandys.com/wines/our-wines.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blandy’s Sercial Dry Madeira 10 Years, Portugal\u003c/a> $30 (500 ml bottle size)\u003cbr>\nThe oldest wine I’ve ever had the privilege of tasting was an 1811 Blandy’s Madiera. It was remarkable and ageless. It was as if the picture of Dorian Gray came to life in my glass. Can a wine still have life after 200 years? Yes, if it’s Madeira. A fortified made on the Portuguese island of Madiera located 400 miles off the coast of Africa, Madeira is the world’s longest-lived wine. It is also an underappreciated food wine. The Blandy’s dry Sercial is appealingly fresh with nutty aromas and an earthy elegance. Pair with aged cheeses and nuts or even braised meats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18069\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18069\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 3.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/CP1203-wine-1920-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 3. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This version of Sauvignon hails from the cool climate Casablanca Valley, which is home to many of the country’s top whites and Pinot Noirs. Located on the western coast of Chile running alongside the coastal mountain range, Casablanca is influenced by cold Pacific Ocean currents providing a long, slow growing season. Ritual’s version of Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and fresh with a ping of vibrant acidity making it an ideal wine to pair with fish of any kind and fresh-from-the-garden salads. The wine marries layers of complexity with affordability and versatility. Stock up as it will become a household favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amavicellars.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 Amavi Semillon, Walla Walla Valley, Washington\u003c/a> $24\u003cbr>\nI have long adored the wines of Amavi Cellars in Washington’s Walla Walla Valley. Their focus on sustainability and quality is unmatched. This Semillon – a white variety known in the Bordeaux region of France – showcases how well the grape has taken to Washington’s sunny yet cool climate. Like its European brethren, Amavi blends a touch of Sauvignon Blanc with Semillon to balance its richness. Flashing a generous amount of ripe melon and citrus fruit character on the nose and palate, it also teases with minerality and brightness. A white with class and style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.donnafugata.it/en/wines/mille-e-una-notte/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 Donnafugata “Mille e una Notte” Sicily, Italy\u003c/a> $80\u003cbr>\nWhen I opened this wine, I let a genie out of the bottle and the magical carpet ride of aromas and flavors began. Swirling dark berry fruit notes kicked off the vinous journey quickly followed by wafts of black licorice, earthiness and spice. Once I sipped the wine, the texture took over wrapping me in a plush cashmere-like cloak. It’s no doubt I was enamored as Donnafugata is one of Sicily’s famed producers. With a 160-year history and a name that means woman in flight, there is a whimsical yet serious approach to all their wines. The “Mille e una Notte” is a blend of the island’s signature red grape, Nero d’Avola, along with Petit Verdot and Syrah. It ranks among the top tier of wines I’ve sampled in the past several years. I encourage you to experience Donnafugata’s adventure in a glass. It’s worth every cent…and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.broadsidewine.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 Broadside Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, California\u003c/a> $15\u003cbr>\nWhen it comes to affordable Cabernet Sauvignon to grace your dinner table and share with friends and family, look no further than Broadside. This Paso Robles winery shines a light on the type of powerful yet balanced reds that can be produced in the region. It’s brambly, blackberry-like fruit flavors are interlaced with notes of pepper and brown spice. A remarkably easy wine to sip and enjoy with grilled steak, roast pork or stuffed mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Duplais Swiss Absinthe Verte, Switzerland\u003c/strong> $80\u003cbr>\nWhen the Green Fairy –“la fey verte” — visits, it’s said to bring transformation and enlightenment. Better known as Absinthe, this green-hued, aromatic elixir is crafted from a neutral spirit infused with a variety of herbs and plants like anise, fennel and wormwood, from which it takes its name. Dating back to 18th century Switzerland and France, it was sold as a medicinal remedy for just about everything before it was banned in 1910. No longer banned, Absinthe is undergoing a renaissance and Duplais is the place to start (and finish) your exploration. It’s the first post-ban Absinthe back on the market nearly a century later and is based on the original recipe from Switzerland. Traditionally served in a small glass with a sugar cube drizzled with water, pour yourself a glass and head to green fairyland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18050\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 2. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

This version of Sauvignon hails from the cool climate Casablanca Valley, which is home to many of the country’s top whites and Pinot Noirs. Located on the western coast of Chile running alongside the coastal mountain range, Casablanca is influenced by cold Pacific Ocean currents providing a long, slow growing season. Ritual’s version of Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and fresh with a ping of vibrant acidity making it an ideal wine to pair with fish of any kind and fresh-from-the-garden salads. The wine marries layers of complexity with affordability and versatility. Stock up as it will become a household favorite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Their focus on sustainability and quality is unmatched. This Semillon – a white variety known in the Bordeaux region of France – showcases how well the grape has taken to Washington’s sunny yet cool climate. Like its European brethren, Amavi blends a touch of Sauvignon Blanc with Semillon to balance its richness. Flashing a generous amount of ripe melon and citrus fruit character on the nose and palate, it also teases with minerality and brightness. A white with class and style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.donnafugata.it/en/wines/mille-e-una-notte/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2011 Donnafugata “Mille e una Notte” Sicily, Italy\u003c/a> $80\u003cbr>\nWhen I opened this wine, I let a genie out of the bottle and the magical carpet ride of aromas and flavors began. Swirling dark berry fruit notes kicked off the vinous journey quickly followed by wafts of black licorice, earthiness and spice. Once I sipped the wine, the texture took over wrapping me in a plush cashmere-like cloak. It’s no doubt I was enamored as Donnafugata is one of Sicily’s famed producers. With a 160-year history and a name that means woman in flight, there is a whimsical yet serious approach to all their wines. The “Mille e una Notte” is a blend of the island’s signature red grape, Nero d’Avola, along with Petit Verdot and Syrah. It ranks among the top tier of wines I’ve sampled in the past several years. I encourage you to experience Donnafugata’s adventure in a glass. It’s worth every cent…and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.broadsidewine.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 Broadside Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, California\u003c/a> $15\u003cbr>\nWhen it comes to affordable Cabernet Sauvignon to grace your dinner table and share with friends and family, look no further than Broadside. This Paso Robles winery shines a light on the type of powerful yet balanced reds that can be produced in the region. It’s brambly, blackberry-like fruit flavors are interlaced with notes of pepper and brown spice. A remarkably easy wine to sip and enjoy with grilled steak, roast pork or stuffed mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Duplais Swiss Absinthe Verte, Switzerland\u003c/strong> $80\u003cbr>\nWhen the Green Fairy –“la fey verte” — visits, it’s said to bring transformation and enlightenment. Better known as Absinthe, this green-hued, aromatic elixir is crafted from a neutral spirit infused with a variety of herbs and plants like anise, fennel and wormwood, from which it takes its name. Dating back to 18th century Switzerland and France, it was sold as a medicinal remedy for just about everything before it was banned in 1910. No longer banned, Absinthe is undergoing a renaissance and Duplais is the place to start (and finish) your exploration. It’s the first post-ban Absinthe back on the market nearly a century later and is based on the original recipe from Switzerland. Traditionally served in a small glass with a sugar cube drizzled with water, pour yourself a glass and head to green fairyland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_18050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18050\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 2.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2017/04/cp1202-wine-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of season 12 episode 2. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

No longer…I’m adding this lively beer to my daytime roster. The world’s first blend of equal parts carbonated grapefruit juice and unfiltered wheat beer, the Schöfferhofer (pronounced Chauffeur + ah + Hoff + ah) is pleasantly tart and lightly sweet at the same time. With a whisper of alcohol (ringing in at only 2.5 % ABV – alcohol by volume), try this refreshing sip beachside, poolside, and tableside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.tenutamontenisa.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Montenisa Brut Rosé, Franciacorta, Italy\u003c/a> $39\u003cbr>\nAs a bubbly geek, I’m on a never-ending quest to discover unique worldwide fizz. This elegantly-styled dry rosé qualifies as distinctive AND delicious. Hailing from the Lombardy region of Italy, Franciacorta is an area designated to make top-quality sparkling wine in the traditional method. The grape varieties permitted in Franciacorta include Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (known as Pinot Nero in Italy) and a touch of Pinot Bianco. This version – from the famed house of Antinori – is 100 percent Pinot Nero. It ranks alongside top California sparklers as well as those from the French region of Champagne. #love\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gaia-wines.gr/gaia/gaia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 Assyrtiko by Gaia “Wild Ferment” Santorini, Greece\u003c/a> $29\u003cbr>\nI am lucky to travel the world tasting wine. One of the best visits I’ve ever had (and that’s saying a lot) is a day spent on the island of Santorini with Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. He is the co-owner of Gaia (pronounced Yeah-Ah) and a fascinating man. This complex yet crisp white is made from the island’s signature grape, Assyrtiko. Using only wild yeast strains to ferment the wine in both tank and oak barrels, the resulting white has a character all its own. The citrus, spicy flavors are accented by a minerality that speaks to the volcanic soil of this island paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.medlockames.com/small-lots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013 Medlock Ames “Heritage” Merlot, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California\u003c/a> $50\u003cbr>\nLiving in Sonoma County I get to sample my fair share of world-class wines. I discovered this boutique producer last year after sampling their stellar reds. Located in the northern reaches of Alexander Valley along the winding road dotted with other recognized names like Jordan, Medlock Ames was founded by Chris James and Ames Morison. The vineyards are farmed organically and they focus on sustainability in all wines they produce. This stylish Merlot captures a European-esque vibrancy coupled with California suppleness. Next time you visit Sonoma, put a stop at Medlock Ames on your itinerary. Note: the current vintage is 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://maisonferrand.com/en/content/pierre-ferrand-cognac/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre Ferrand Cognac “1840” 1er Cru de Cognac, Grande Champagne, France\u003c/a> $45\u003cbr>\nOne of the best ways to end an evening is by savoring a glass of Cognac. A spirit born in France’s Cognac region, it is made by distilling grapes grown in bucolic western France. Pierre Ferrand’s vines are planted in the chalky soil of the Grande Champagne area (not to be confused with the sparkling wine region of Champagne in northeastern France).

No longer…I’m adding this lively beer to my daytime roster. The world’s first blend of equal parts carbonated grapefruit juice and unfiltered wheat beer, the Schöfferhofer (pronounced Chauffeur + ah + Hoff + ah) is pleasantly tart and lightly sweet at the same time.

This elegantly-styled dry rosé qualifies as distinctive AND delicious. Hailing from the Lombardy region of Italy, Franciacorta is an area designated to make top-quality sparkling wine in the traditional method. The grape varieties permitted in Franciacorta include Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (known as Pinot Nero in Italy) and a touch of Pinot Bianco. This version – from the famed house of Antinori – is 100 percent Pinot Nero. It ranks alongside top California sparklers as well as those from the French region of Champagne. #love\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gaia-wines.gr/gaia/gaia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 Assyrtiko by Gaia “Wild Ferment” Santorini, Greece\u003c/a> $29\u003cbr>\nI am lucky to travel the world tasting wine. One of the best visits I’ve ever had (and that’s saying a lot) is a day spent on the island of Santorini with Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. He is the co-owner of Gaia (pronounced Yeah-Ah) and a fascinating man. This complex yet crisp white is made from the island’s signature grape, Assyrtiko. Using only wild yeast strains to ferment the wine in both tank and oak barrels, the resulting white has a character all its own. The citrus, spicy flavors are accented by a minerality that speaks to the volcanic soil of this island paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.medlockames.com/small-lots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2013 Medlock Ames “Heritage” Merlot, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California\u003c/a> $50\u003cbr>\nLiving in Sonoma County I get to sample my fair share of world-class wines. I discovered this boutique producer last year after sampling their stellar reds. Located in the northern reaches of Alexander Valley along the winding road dotted with other recognized names like Jordan, Medlock Ames was founded by Chris James and Ames Morison. The vineyards are farmed organically and they focus on sustainability in all wines they produce. This stylish Merlot captures a European-esque vibrancy coupled with California suppleness. Next time you visit Sonoma, put a stop at Medlock Ames on your itinerary. Note: the current vintage is 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://maisonferrand.com/en/content/pierre-ferrand-cognac/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre Ferrand Cognac “1840” 1er Cru de Cognac, Grande Champagne, France\u003c/a> $45\u003cbr>\nOne of the best ways to end an evening is by savoring a glass of Cognac. A spirit born in France’s Cognac region, it is made by distilling grapes grown in bucolic western France. Pierre Ferrand’s vines are planted in the chalky soil of the Grande Champagne area (not to be confused with the sparkling wine region of Champagne in northeastern France). Their singular, stunning Cognacs are crafted with a sense of pride and history. The 1840 Cognac from Ferrand is an homage to the pioneers of another craft – the cocktail kind. Stylistically, this bottling is based upon a rare version of Cognac from 1840 and is rich and lush. It transports you to a time when Cognac reigned supreme in cocktails such as Juleps and Punchers.
