Sip On This - Episode 15. We travel to the Tuscany region of Italy, to the village of Montalcino, and taste the elegant wines of Tenuta Luce, a winery that began as a collaboration between Italian vintner Vittorio Frescobaldi and his American friend Robert Mondavi. In this episode, Luce's Technical Director, Stefano Ruini, leads us in a tasting of their best Sangiovese and Merlot expressions. Just as the name Luce means light, there is a warm vibrancy that characterizes their wine.

Sip On This - Episode 15. We visit La Crema's tasting room in the town of Healdsburg in Sonoma, California. It's a label that is widely known but what you may not know is that this winery focuses mostly on cooler climate areas, including Monterey and the Russian River Valley, which makes their wines more delectable. Join winemaker, Craig, as he profiles their fine Rose of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.

Sip On This - Episode 14. Domaine Carneros is truly the quintessential Napa Valley experience. The chateau, on the southern tip of Napa, is easily accessible from San Francisco but reminiscent of France. The portfolio of sparkling and Pinot Noir wines will transport you into a romantic, noble place. Join winemaker Eileen Crane as she guides us on a tasting of their dynamic California sparkling wines, including Brut, Ultra Brut, Rose and a bonus tasting of limited production Le Reve -- all paired with delectable Asian bites.

Sip On This - Episode 13. This is truly a wine with a purpose. We honor and salute our American Veterans with this special episode of Sip On This featuring the Purple Heart Merlot-based blend. Purple Heart Wines makes an annual donation to the Purple Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to serving the needs of military men, women and their families. In this episode, we speak with the longtime winemaker for the Mondavi family and veteran, John, who passionately shares his conviction for producing this wine to benefit a mission he is personally attached.
