About this video

KQED’s Leslie Sbrocco, award-winning host of “Check, Please! Bay Area Reviews”,  shares her tasting notes on the 2017 Ponzi Vineyards Aurora Vineyard Chardonnay and 2017 Ponzi Vineyards Avellana Vineyard Pinot Noir. To Sbrocco, Ponzi “is a brand that always overdelivers in quality” so naturally both wines received rave reviews! 

Sbrocco recommends splurging on the 2017 Ponzi Vineyards Aurora Chardonnay, “[…] hailing from decades-old plantings of Dijon clone vines, its richly layered aromas pair with a kiss of creaminess on the palate and medium-bodied elegance.” If Pinot Noir is more to your liking, the 2017 Ponzi Vineyards Avellana Pinot Noir is “a match that’s a nod to Burgundy […] with dark-berry fruit notes and anchored by spicy, savory touches.
