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

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

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

He has captured his love of the grape’s elegance with this eponymous project crafting complex Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Hailing from ultra cool climate vineyards the wine’s hallmarks are freshness layered with cherry fruit notes and a spicy kick. It drinks like silk feels — smooth and sexy.

Known for intense and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, I tend to recommend their lighthearted, versatile white blend year in and year out. A deliciously fun sip that surprises, it’s comprised of mostly Chenin Blanc with a splash of Viognier. Chenin Blanc is vibrant, citrus-scented and refreshing while Viognier gives roundness and floral aromatics.

When the brand’s owner, Leslie Rudd, bought the historic Edge Hill wine estate in Napa Valley, he uncovered an old building with the words “Registered distillery no. 209” painted above the door. He traced the background of the verbiage to the property’s original owner, William Sheffler, who was an award-winning distiller in the late 1880s. Using this as inspiration, a new distillery was built in San Francisco on Pier 50. The gin now being crafted there is a marriage of botanicals such as juniper – the key ingredient in gin – as well as up to 11 other botanicals from bergamot orange and lemon peel to coriander seeds. It’s a crisp yet aromatic gin that I love with a simple splash of tonic and fresh lime or as the base for a classic martini. Bottoms up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.gonzalezbyass.com/en/wines/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>Gonzales Byass “Tio Pepe” Fino Sherry, Jerez, Spain\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> $19\u003cbr>\nSherry may be an underappreciated wine style, but through education and exposure many new wine drinkers are gaining an understanding of and desire for the historic beverage. Hailing from the south of Spain, it is a fortified wine made in a variety of styles from dry to dessert worthy. This famous version is Muy Seco or very dry and since people often think Sherry is only sweet, it’s a discovery for most. Zesty and light with a refreshingly nutty tang, well-chilled Fino Sherry is ideal with appetizers, nuts, cheeses and Spanish jamon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hesscollection.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Hess Collection “Small Batch Collection Series” Gewurztraminer, Anderson Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nIn honor of the 30th vintage of world-class wines from Hess Collection on Napa’s Mt. Veeder, we hit the cellar and pulled out an older bottle to share with the guests. Usually a wine with a few years of age would be red, but white wine can age beautifully, too, as evidenced by this spicy, floral-scented Gewurztraminer. The winery’s small batch collection series is available at the winery and is only one reason to plan a trip. Visiting Hess Collection Visitor’s Center and Art Museum is an experience in itself.

When the brand’s owner, Leslie Rudd, bought the historic Edge Hill wine estate in Napa Valley, he uncovered an old building with the words “Registered distillery no. 209” painted above the door. He traced the background of the verbiage to the property’s original owner, William Sheffler, who was an award-winning distiller in the late 1880s. Using this as inspiration, a new distillery was built in San Francisco on Pier 50. The gin now being crafted there is a marriage of botanicals such as juniper – the key ingredient in gin – as well as up to 11 other botanicals from bergamot orange and lemon peel to coriander seeds. It’s a crisp yet aromatic gin that I love with a simple splash of tonic and fresh lime or as the base for a classic martini. Bottoms up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hailing from the south of Spain, it is a fortified wine made in a variety of styles from dry to dessert worthy. This famous version is Muy Seco or very dry and since people often think Sherry is only sweet, it’s a discovery for most. Zesty and light with a refreshingly nutty tang, well-chilled Fino Sherry is ideal with appetizers, nuts, cheeses and Spanish jamon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hesscollection.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Hess Collection “Small Batch Collection Series” Gewurztraminer, Anderson Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nIn honor of the 30th vintage of world-class wines from Hess Collection on Napa’s Mt. Veeder, we hit the cellar and pulled out an older bottle to share with the guests. Usually a wine with a few years of age would be red, but white wine can age beautifully, too, as evidenced by this spicy, floral-scented Gewurztraminer. The winery’s small batch collection series is available at the winery and is only one reason to plan a trip. Visiting Hess Collection Visitor’s Center and Art Museum is an experience in itself.

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

Dating to 1882, the Napa Valley estate (including the beautiful Victorian home illustrated on the labels) was purchased by the Novak family in 1972. Today, the Novak women — Beth and Lindy – carry on the family legacy. Their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon is rightly celebrated for its elegance and ageworthiness. With limited production and a triple digit price tag, it’s coveted by collectors making it a splurge worth seeking out. My insider tip, however, is to start your Spottswoode journey with their Sauvignon Blanc. A classy white for those serious about Sauvignon, this wine is aromatic and focused. It sits alongside many of the best examples of the variety globally, but most importantly, it’s a deliciously drinkable white. It belongs poolside with a good book or tableside with simply prepared dishes. Either way, the wine will shine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pasternakwine.com/_webapp_3461996/Ch%C3%A2teau_La_Nerthe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Château La Nerthe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape,\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($63)\u003cbr>\nWith a global reputation for quality, Château La Nerthe’s wines are benchmarks when it comes to expression of terroir (the French term for the taste of the place in the glass). As one of the oldest properties in the famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of southern France, this producer’s roots go deep, dating to the 12th century. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for its signature sandy soil topped with galettes, which are baseball-sized glacial rocks that came from the Alps millennia ago. This unique combination captures and radiates heat creating the ideal environment to grow sun-loving Rhône grapes. All of the 14 varieties allowed in Chateauneuf blends are planted at the La Nerthe estate. Their Rouge – a mélange of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault – is crafted from organically grown grapes with an average vine age of 40 years old. Sporting rose petal and brown spice aromas with smoky, earthy undertones, this supple yet structured red captures the essence of the land where it’s grown. La Nerthe is a beauty with substance and style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kumeuriver.co.nz/Our-Wine/2013+Estate+Chardonnay/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Palmaz Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($120)\u003cbr>\nPart of an elite group I call “new classics” of Napa Valley, Palmaz is one of the most stunning properties I’ve ever visited…and I’ve been to hundreds of wineries around the globe. The expansive estate is an enviable marriage of history and innovation. Located on the flank of Mount George in southern Napa, the property has been producing wine since 1881 when Henry Hagen created Cedar Knoll Vineyards. After achieving great acclaim, it was abandoned for decades. In the late 1990s Argentinian-born, Julio and Amalia Palmaz, acquired the estate after falling in love with Napa Valley during Julio’s medical studies at University of California – Davis. Along with their grown children, Florencia and Christian (and his wife Jessica), they refurbished the historic Hagen home and built a stunning gravity flow winery into an 18-story cavern in the mountain. What’s emerging from this unique cellar are world class wines. Chardonnay and Riesling are the hidden gems packed with purity and complexity, but their Cabernet Sauvignon is the icon. The 2012 is a great vintage in Napa and this opulently-styled version is plush and powerful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17203\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the premiere episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the premiere episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

This week I discuss: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/2016/04/14/leslie-sbroccos-check-please-bay-area-season-11-wine-tips/\">The Sonoma Coast.\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\u003ca href=\"http://www.spottswoode.com/vineyard-winery/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2014 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc, Napa/Sonoma, California\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($39)\u003cbr>\nSpottswoode is not only one of California’s most historic wineries, in my opinion, it ranks among the world’s top producers. Dating to 1882, the Napa Valley estate (including the beautiful Victorian home illustrated on the labels) was purchased by the Novak family in 1972. Today, the Novak women — Beth and Lindy – carry on the family legacy. Their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon is rightly celebrated for its elegance and ageworthiness. With limited production and a triple digit price tag, it’s coveted by collectors making it a splurge worth seeking out. My insider tip, however, is to start your Spottswoode journey with their Sauvignon Blanc. A classy white for those serious about Sauvignon, this wine is aromatic and focused. It sits alongside many of the best examples of the variety globally, but most importantly, it’s a deliciously drinkable white. It belongs poolside with a good book or tableside with simply prepared dishes. Either way, the wine will shine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pasternakwine.com/_webapp_3461996/Ch%C3%A2teau_La_Nerthe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Château La Nerthe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape,\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($63)\u003cbr>\nWith a global reputation for quality, Château La Nerthe’s wines are benchmarks when it comes to expression of terroir (the French term for the taste of the place in the glass). As one of the oldest properties in the famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of southern France, this producer’s roots go deep, dating to the 12th century. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for its signature sandy soil topped with galettes, which are baseball-sized glacial rocks that came from the Alps millennia ago. This unique combination captures and radiates heat creating the ideal environment to grow sun-loving Rhône grapes. All of the 14 varieties allowed in Chateauneuf blends are planted at the La Nerthe estate. Their Rouge – a mélange of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault – is crafted from organically grown grapes with an average vine age of 40 years old. Sporting rose petal and brown spice aromas with smoky, earthy undertones, this supple yet structured red captures the essence of the land where it’s grown. La Nerthe is a beauty with substance and style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The expansive estate is an enviable marriage of history and innovation. Located on the flank of Mount George in southern Napa, the property has been producing wine since 1881 when Henry Hagen created Cedar Knoll Vineyards. After achieving great acclaim, it was abandoned for decades. In the late 1990s Argentinian-born, Julio and Amalia Palmaz, acquired the estate after falling in love with Napa Valley during Julio’s medical studies at University of California – Davis. Along with their grown children, Florencia and Christian (and his wife Jessica), they refurbished the historic Hagen home and built a stunning gravity flow winery into an 18-story cavern in the mountain. What’s emerging from this unique cellar are world class wines. Chardonnay and Riesling are the hidden gems packed with purity and complexity, but their Cabernet Sauvignon is the icon. The 2012 is a great vintage in Napa and this opulently-styled version is plush and powerful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_17203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17203\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the premiere episode of season 11.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2016/04/cp1101-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the premiere episode of season 11. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This one in particular, is a true indulgence. Small production, vineyard designate wines with balanced alcohol are his hallmark and this is a shining example of what Cobb is all about. Hailing from a prized block of the Coastlands vineyard, it is an ode to his mother Diane, a pioneer in planting the Sonoma Coast. A bit richer than other bottlings, it’s an exotic, silky red with impeccable style. Watch for the current release 2013, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.duckhornwineshop.com/product/2012-Duckhorn-Vineyards-Knights-Valley-Late-Harvest-Sauvignon-Blanc-375ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Duckhorn Vineyards, Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Knights Valley, California \u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($45 half bottle)\u003cbr>\nI call this a “belly-button sipper” because you only need to savor a small amount to make a big statement. Sauvignon Blanc grapes have been left to hang on the vine an extra month until ultra ripe, then a few precious drops are squeezed from each grape and crafted into liquid gold. Floral and honeyed aromas are layered with sweet, succulent fruit notes. It’s an ideal foil for hard, salty cheeses or simply enjoyed as a stand-alone dessert (especially if served from a belly button).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kumeuriver.co.nz/Our-Wine/2013+Estate+Chardonnay/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay, Kumeu, Auckland, New Zealand\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($35)\u003cbr>\nKumeu Chardonnay is the ultimate insider’s wine. Recognized by those in the know, it ranks among the best versions of the variety in the world. Owned by the Brajkovich clan – one of the founding families of New Zealand’s wine business – the winery is based outside of Auckland on the country’s north island. This Chardonnay is a blend of six different vineyard sites, hand harvested, and barrel fermented with native yeast giving layers of complexity. It can be drunk young, but the Kumeu wines benefit from cellaring so pick up a few bottles and begin your journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.conchaytoro.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon, Puente Alto, Maipo Valley, Chile\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($23)\u003cbr>\nFrom the historic Chilean producer, Concha y Toro comes a brand to discover. The Marques de Casa Concha wines offer some of the most highly rated (yet affordable) wines in Chile. This one in particular serves up value and collectability on a super-sized scale.

This one in particular, is a true indulgence. Small production, vineyard designate wines with balanced alcohol are his hallmark and this is a shining example of what Cobb is all about. Hailing from a prized block of the Coastlands vineyard, it is an ode to his mother Diane, a pioneer in planting the Sonoma Coast. A bit richer than other bottlings, it’s an exotic, silky red with impeccable style. Watch for the current release 2013, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sauvignon Blanc grapes have been left to hang on the vine an extra month until ultra ripe, then a few precious drops are squeezed from each grape and crafted into liquid gold. Floral and honeyed aromas are layered with sweet, succulent fruit notes. It’s an ideal foil for hard, salty cheeses or simply enjoyed as a stand-alone dessert (especially if served from a belly button).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kumeuriver.co.nz/Our-Wine/2013+Estate+Chardonnay/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2012 Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay, Kumeu, Auckland, New Zealand\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($35)\u003cbr>\nKumeu Chardonnay is the ultimate insider’s wine. Recognized by those in the know, it ranks among the best versions of the variety in the world. Owned by the Brajkovich clan – one of the founding families of New Zealand’s wine business – the winery is based outside of Auckland on the country’s north island. This Chardonnay is a blend of six different vineyard sites, hand harvested, and barrel fermented with native yeast giving layers of complexity. It can be drunk young, but the Kumeu wines benefit from cellaring so pick up a few bottles and begin your journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.conchaytoro.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cstrong>2013 Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet Sauvignon, Puente Alto, Maipo Valley, Chile\u003c/strong>\u003c/a> ($23)\u003cbr>\nFrom the historic Chilean producer, Concha y Toro comes a brand to discover. The Marques de Casa Concha wines offer some of the most highly rated (yet affordable) wines in Chile. This one in particular serves up value and collectability on a super-sized scale. Grapes for the Cabernet come from the vineyard that creates Concha y Toro’s signature red, Don Melchor. It showcases earthy, peppery aromas followed by deep, saturated red fruit flavors and polished tannins. It will age beautifully for years to come, but if you can’t wait just decant then serve alongside a grilled steak for a perfect night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_16883\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16883\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine.jpg\" alt=\"Wines that guests drank on the set of the ninth episode of season 10.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2015/10/cp1009-wine-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wines that guests drank on the set of the ninth episode of season 10. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
