Quivet Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, Tench Vineyard, Napa Valley, 2013 (California)
This estate is named in honor of Quivet Neck in Cape Cod's very own town, Dennis. The 2013 vintage comes from the Tench Vineyard in the Oakville district of Napa Valley that borders well-known wineries such as Joseph Phelps and Screaming Eagle. The soil consists of loam clay which is ideal for Sauvignon Blanc and produces a beautiful balance. The vines are 13 years old making for a great concentration and overall body to the wine. The citric fruit lets it stand up to creamy avocado/guacamole while the grapefruit flavors meld well with salty foods. -JSR

Ventana Rubystone, Arroyo Seco, 2010 (California)

Oak Ridge OZV Zinfandel, Lodi, 2013 (California)
The Lodi region was one of the major areas responsible for California becoming the wine giant it is today. Now, with vines ranging from 50-100 years old, it is producing robust and full-bodied Zinfandel that would be the perfect partner for the flavorful dishes of any tailgating party. The barrel aging is done in both stainless steel and oak separately and then the two are combined. The result is a wine of great depth that is emphasized by dark fruit that pairs exceptionally with BBQ Ribs and pizza. -

Fra' Mani Salametto (Berkeley, California)
Chef Paul Bertolli, who came to national prominence at the restaurants Chez Panisse and Oliveto in Berkeley, CA, founded Fra' Mani ("from or among hands") in 2006 also in Berkely. Using Old World traditions from his Italian grandfather, a salumiere, Chef Bertolli handcrafts his salumi from humanely-raised pork sourced exclusively from family farms without the use of hormones or antibiotics. The dry-cured Salametto is richly flavored with deep color and a touch of garlic. Terrific with a hearty red wine. -Jeff
