Host Leslie Sbrocco and guests on the set of the episode 3 of season 11. (Wendy Goodfriend) Get Restaurant Information: * Sessions at The Presidio (San Francisco) * Doppio Zero Pizzeria Napoletana (Mountain View) * Waterbar (San Francisco) Host Leslie Sbrocco tasting wine. (Wendy Goodfriend) 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. I will also share some wine tips with each episode. This week I discuss: Innovative gadgets and ways to identify your wine glass at a party. JaM Cellars is the brainchild of John and Michele Truchard (who own John Anthony Vineyards, a downtown Napa hotspot). As part of the Truchard clan — one of Napa’s great grape-growing families — John knows a thing or two about vineyards. He and his wife also clearly know what appeals to consumers. I come across a myriad of brands with eye-catching labels, but this trio is the most creative I’ve seen in years. Offering up a smile-inducing lineup of wines entitled Toast, Butter and JaM, each has a purpose and unique character. All three pack a high-quality punch while telling you exactly what you’re getting in each bottle. Toast Brut Sparkling Wine, California $25 Crafted from Chardonnay, this bubbly is made in the traditional sparkling wine method in a dry —or brut— style. It’s got a luscious texture with a touch of toasty richness, yet finishes with crisp fruit flavors. A terrific choice for celebrations year round. 2014 Butter Chardonnay, California $16 Creamy with succulent pineapple fruit notes and a hug of oak, this is an unapologetic style of Chardonnay. It wraps you in buttery pleasure and sports melt-in-your-mouth goodness. If you crave lush Chardonnay, you’ll love Butter. 2014 JaM Cabernet Sauvignon, California $20 As the name says, you get jammy dark fruit flavors in this full-bodied red wine. Made with 100 percent Cabernet, it’s a crowd-pleasing style to pair with barbeque ribs, grilled lamb chops or meat-lovers pizza. It could also saddle up to a PBJ slathered with what else? Jam. Wines that guests drank on the set of the third episode of season 11. (Wendy Goodfriend)
