Parrish has all the elements for the best tasting experiences: a great history, beautiful property, plenty of space for groups, good wine, food, AND coffee! You really cannot go wrong with a visit to Parrish. We hope you enjoy this episode, even if it is a bit noisier than others (they were busy, which is good!) and a bit rushed at the end (we had …

Eberle is a well-known east side Paso staple. If you've driven out or into town on the 46 East Highway you've likely seen their sign advertising their cave tours. Despite being so well known, one of us had never been and the other had not visited in over a decade. We broke that streak on Sunday morning and are so glad that we did! You'll get to fol…

Broken Earth moved to a new location in the middle of 2019 and we are loving the new space. Personally not having visited them in several years, this was the perfect time for a reintroduction. The spacious tasting room will accommodate your large group needs and the kitchen will accommodate your large appetite needs - just kidding! But they do have…

Steinbeck Vineyards and the family behind it have been in the Paso Robles area for 7 generations. That's quite a legacy and quite a long time to have been growing grapes. Their own label is more recent, established in 2006, but the care they put into their farming shows through in the wines you taste and the setup of the tasting room. Stop in to tr…

You may have heard of Madeline's when looking for a restaurant in Cambria, but did you know that it is also a wine shop offering wine tasting? And in another twist they have no set tasting menu! So what does that mean for you? It means that when you go in, whether alone or in a group, you'll get a flight of wines customized to your taste and prefer…

Having been to Pelletiere once before (and buying a case if I recall correctly), we knew we were in for a treat when we visited earlier this month. Pelletiere showcases Italian varietals, which while not completely rare in Paso are definitely not the norm. Lagrein and Nebbiolo are rarer varietals to see and Pelletiere has them both. The wines are b…

Tucked in the east side hills of Paso, behind a large, well-known winery, is Ranchita Canyon Vineyard. Well worth the short trek from Paso, their tasting room is family run, welcoming, and has plenty to offer red wine aficionados! With lots of unusual and interesting red blends, as well as the extremely rare Cabernet Pfeffer, you're sure to find so…

Downtown Atascadero is rapidly evolving, and with that has been an influx of new businesses. One of those being the tasting room for Kula Vineyards. Located on Entrada, the tasting room is bright, open, and inviting - to everyone including your furry friend! Stop by for a tasting flight, a glass (or a bottle), and then mosey on down the street to s…

In one of our favorite episodes (and stops) yet, we visited Law Estate Wines in Paso Robles. A gorgeous building and setting is perfectly complemented by the gorgeous wines. We had the pleasure of sitting down with the head winemaker, Philipp Pfunder, and gaining a ton of in depth knowledge from him on the wines, vines, and everything in between. W…

You know that very first episode of Portlandia where they're insisting on going to meet the chicken and see where it lives before they order the chicken dish at a restaurant? Well, wine has caught up to food and we know that one of the biggest movements in the industry right now is this concept of "vine to glass" or natural wine. Want to go and tas…

Lusso Della Terra may mean "Luxury of the Land" but you certainly don't have to be rolling up in the Uber Black service to be able to afford their wines! We loved the down to earth feel of the tasting room and the co-owner, Megan, as well as the value of their hospitality experience. Their $15 tasting fee includes the typical flight of wine, cheese…

Top Winery is located in Tin City in Paso Robles. Tin City is home to at least a dozen wineries and tasting rooms and it's can be hard to stand out, but Top certainly does. Aside from having great wine, the hospitality, attention to detail, and warmth of the host (likely either the winemaker, Stanley, or his wife, Elena) help them shine. We thoroug…

Come for the wine and stay for the wine... and the cheese... and the dog (Stella)... and the barn owls! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Victor Hugo Winery. We've been uncovering some of the original wine pioneers in our last few episodes and we are loving it! The history that goes along with each bottle is what makes wine so unique. We hope you …

Dunning Vineyards has been a west Paso staple for decades! We had never had the pleasure of visiting them but we finally made it out there a few weeks back. We fell in love with the location and the guest suite that's on the property - we're told a bottle of wine is included with your stay! Tune in and see what Dunning is all about! Happy Tasting! …

We think that the most important things to know about Torrin is in their "We Are" statement. It's printed on the wall in their Paso Robles tasting room and it goes: "We are artists, farmers, chemists, parents, and friends. We are grateful. We are small but on the verge of something big. We are believers in sustainability. We are in awe of our child…

It's not super common for us to like every single wine we taste at one stop, even at places were we are members. But Villa Creek Cellars is a standout in that we liked, maybe even loved???, every single wine we tried while there. We stopped in on a hot weekend afternoon, enjoyed the sanctuary of their beautiful and cool tasting room, talked about t…

Iron Oaks Winery is a brand new tasting room on the outskirts of downtown Paso Robles. Easy to find, easy to access, and easy to love. This is the place to come with a party and to have a party. The tasting room vibes are industrial meets country and it's the perfect blend, just like the wines. Doug was a great time and we enjoyed getting to know h…

It's not often you find a woman owned and mostly woman operated winery in our area. Bodegas Paso Robles was founded by winemaker Dorothy Schuler, colloquially called "Mama Tempranillo" for being one of the pioneering winemakers focusing on tempranillo and other Spanish/Portuguese varietals in the Paso area. We stopped in on a Sunday morning and tho…

Join us at Tolosa this week as we justify why Tolosa ticks two of our boxes: solid stops and impress your friends! The tasting was so good and thorough that we split it into two parts. This week listen as we go through four wines: two whites and two reds. Next week will be the remaining reds. Happy Tasting! -Jamie & Chenise…

We stopped into Sextant's Edna Valley tasting room on a weekday afternoon. We were a bit surprised to find it rather bustling and busy, despite it being mid-week. The tasting room is charming and well-appointed and the wines match. A fun, light-hearted stop, Sextant is the perfect place to take out-of-town visitors, friends with kids, or larger gro…

Take two at Timbre! This week we're catching you up on the red wines at Timbre Winery. We also want to apologize for some of the scratchy sound quality (we think we're DJs) that crops up toward the end of the recording. Our trusty recording device ran low on battery juice during our visit and we had to switch to our backup mic, which got a little s…

This week we are taking you to Timbre. Timbre has an adorable tasting room in an old craftsman house nestled in the village of Arroyo Grande. They’ve got plenty of wines to try and virtually something for everyone. They have so many choices, in fact, that we’ve split our visit into two parts. Part one this week will let you explore their white wine…

You know that feeling when you’re so sure that you already know everything about a certain thing or area and then you realize you’ve been wrong and actually know nothing? That was the feeling we got after visiting Locatelli. I knew that I hadn’t been to ALL the wineries in this area, but I felt sure that I’d been to all the really good ones or at l…

This time change has us dreaming about long, hot summer afternoons that bleed into more tolerable evenings. Evenings spent sipping on wine, sitting on a large lawn, listening to some local music and watching kids and dogs play. Do you know the perfect spot to do ALL those things? We discovered one such spot when we visited Riverstar Winery a couple…

Another week, another winery! But don’t worry, this isn’t just another hum-drum visit. This week we sat down and drank some wine in Avila Beach at the Sinor La-Valle tasting room. We learned how to correctly pronounce the name, more about biodynamic wine, and got to try a pet-nat, which you don’t normally see around here! We hope our visit inspires…

This week the focus is on the story behind the wine. We spent a lovely afternoon with the owner and founder of Piedra Creek Winery, Margaret. She and her husband started the winery and the effort and attention they have put into this creation is amazing. The wines were delicious and we can't wait to share this with you.NOTE: The audio quality on th…

This week we stopped in at Croma Vera Wines, conveniently located in San Luis Obispo proper. Just a quick run down Broad Street before it turns into Highway 227, Croma Vera is the perfect gateway to Edna Valley, or just a great spot to relax after work on a weekday!If you stop in, check out our top picks: the Albariño, for white wine lovers, and th…

The third episode of our podcast takes us to Autry Cellars in Edna Valley. We spent some time on a lovely Sunday afternoon getting to know the winemaker and owner. A surprising gem this stop is probably the one that stands out most in our minds, so far. This is a true, authentic, experience. An off the grid, off the beaten path, glimpse into what w…

We are back with a second episode! That's right, we haven't given up yet. This time we give you an inside look at the tasting experience at Saucelito Canyon in Edna Valley. The specialty here is actually Zinfandel grown in the Arroyo Grande valley, so a little different than some of the other stops in Edna. We hope you enjoy hearing about the wine,…
