My name is Leslie Sbrocco and I’m the host of Check, Please! Bay Area. 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.
Wines of the Week: KQED Wine Club
Our guests enjoyed these two delicious offerings from the KQED Wine Club.
2006 Innocent Bystander, Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, Australia
Many Chardonnays overwhelm with oak, but this elegant wine showcases a kiss of oak balanced with juicy, ripe fruit flavors. Try with brie cheese and mango salsa.
2004 Pellegrini Merlot “Cloverdale Ranch” Alexander Valley, California
For lovers of rich reds, this Merlot from California’s warm Alexander Valley is soft, plush and velvety.
