• 2020 DeLille Cellars Chaleur Blanc Columbia Valley: A supple Washington Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon blend loaded with bright fruit, with layers of citrus, toast, vanilla, and fresh herbal flavors. PAIRS WITH: Bright and savory flavors of Filipino comfort food from chef Melissa Miranda of Seattle’s Musang.
• 2019 Stolpman Vineyards Para Maria de los Tecolotes Syrah Santa Barbara County: A juicy red that shows the pedigree of the Stolpman estate vineyards with aromas of smoked meat and violets, chewy tannins, and blackberries. PAIRS WITH: Wood-fired recipes from Rory’s Place in Ojai, California.
• 2019 Westmount Pinot Noir Willamette Valley: Freshly picked red roses, orange peel, and sweet spice on the nose. The palate is lively and gratifying, with plenty of red fruit and vibrancy. PAIRS WITH: Fresh compressed-melon salad and other next-level spa food from Arizona’s Castle Hot Springs.
• 2018 Three Wine Company Old Vines Field Blend Contra Costa County: Up-front aromas of smashed blackberry, candied raspberry, spiced plum, and dried herbs. Great balance and generosity as the deep-rooted old vines show off their heritage in this big red. PAIRS WITH: Crispy pork belly from Musang.
• 2019 Sonoma Bench Chardonnay Russian River Valley: Perfumed with bright jasmine and nougat, this wine shows flavors of roasted salted almonds, honeycomb, and crunchy yellow apple. PAIRS WITH: Roasted salmon from Rory’s Place. Plus, it’s full-bodied enough to stand alone as an apéritif.
• 2018 Courtney Benham Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley: A quintessential Napa Cabernet opening with blackberry, cassis, and crushed bay leaf, and finishing with generous dark-fruit intensity and structure. PAIRS WITH: Steak with bottarga butter from Rory’s Place.
