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 some of these delicious offerings from the KQED Wine Club.

2007 Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel Lodi California

Big and bold is what Brazin is all about. Made with old-vine fruit from the Lodi region of California, it’s a peppery powerhouse perfect for ribs slathered in barbeque sauce or pepperoni pizza.

2008 Irony Chardonnay Napa Valley, California

Affordable Napa Valley wines may sound like a contradiction, but that’s not true. Delicato Family Vineyards has roots in Napa, which their Irony brand celebrates. The Chardonnay is lush, juicy and ripe with a kiss of toasty notes.
