INTELLIgENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
How are Claret, Meritage, and Bordeaux wines different from each other?
Claret (pronounced clair-ette), is a common British term for a
classic French red Bordeaux blend. Centuries ago, the term was
spelled clairet and applied to a red Bordeaux more lightly colored
than todays darker, fuller style.
Meritage (rhymes with heritage) is a protected name applying only

to an American wine blend of any combination of red Bordeaux

grapesa sort of American version of claret or red Bordeaux.
Another Meritage qualification: no single grape variety can make up
more than 90% of the blend. Meritage wines are frequently given
unique names, also known as fanciful names, like Symmetry by
Rodney Strong or Stature by Kendall-Jackson.
Whether a wine is claret, Meritage, or Bordeaux, each is
characterized by a medium-to-full body mouthfeel and richness
featuring notes of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and tobacco. Most
often, this style of wine pairs seamlessly with meat dishes.
To learn more about Meritage wines, visit Meritage Alliance at
www.meritagealliance.com.
Len Napolitano is the author of Nose, Legs, Body! Know Wine Like The Back of
Your Hand, a quick and easy guide for the wine beginner.

SummerWood
Food & Wine Pairing
Smoked Paprika Tomato Sauce with Fennel & Sarvecchio Meatballs
Along the winery studded Highway 46 West corridor,
SummerWood Winery & Inn stands out as one of the areas most
renowned estates. The Fukae familyfrom Osaka, Japanhas
owned the winery since 2001. It was at that time that they renamed
the property SummerWood in honor of their son Natsuki, which
means Summerwood in Japanese. The local team is highly
experienced within the wine and hospitality industry, which is plain
to see and taste when visiting SummerWood and enjoying the wines!
While SummerWood does not have a restaurant onsite, the team is
very focused on food & wine pairing. The estate is host to numerous
public and wine club events throughout the year. Wine club
members are invited to seasonal Perfect Pairing occasions with the
ability to use two complimentary tickets to one of these events per
year. On November 15th, guests will warm up with Chef Kelly as
she showcases fall flavors paired with SummerWood wines. Chef
Kelly and the team have generously shared a recipe for Smoked
Paprika Tomato Sauce with Fennel & Sarvecchio Meatballs. Many of
the ingredients can be found at the local Templeton Farmers Market
on Saturday mornings and the recipe is quite easy to follow. The
finished product is warm and satisfyingperfect for the transition to
cooler and darker evenings! The dish is designed to be enjoyed with
the 2010 SummerWood GSM blend; this Grenache, Syrah,
Mourvedre blend was sourced from Pasos most reputable vineyards,
including Denner & Alta Colina. The wine showcases a robust blend
of ripe red and black fruits, interlaced with fennel and violets. The
vanilla and toasted oak notes are balanced by firm tannins and
structured acidity. SummerWood only produced 175 cases of this
bottling; it can be found for a limited time in the tasting room and on
the website.
The SummerWood Winery & Inn recently went through a major
renovation and upgrade. The finished product is truly beautiful and
thoughtful, and is set amongst a young estate vineyard. Guests of the
inn are treated to a fabulous gourmet breakfast each morning and
delicious hors doeuvres in the evenings. Executive Chef Kelly
Wangard certainly keeps plenty busy onsite. In exciting news offsite,
Chef Kelly was selected as a contestant on the Food Network
television show Cutthroat Kitchen! Her production dates were back
in May, but the show aired on October 26th! Stay tuned to hear
more about Chef Kellys experience.
SummerWood winery is open daily from 10:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m.

Eos Winery The Right Ambience for Wine

BY CATHY NEUSHAL
A visit to Eos is something people remember for a number of

reasons. When people talk about their experience at the winery, they
always mention the ambience and the fine wines, but this isnt all Eos
has to offer. The winery has additional enticements that are unique.
One of these is the food that Eos has available to compliment your
wine tasting experience. With a 48 hour advance reservation, visitors
can choose from a variety of sandwiches. They can try the roast
turkey with cranberry aioli, a curried chicken salad or a roast beef
with cheddar. Each of these comes with a deli salad or fresh fruit. The
finishing touch is one of Eos famous wine brownies.
Those looking for a lighter entre can choose from a variety of
salads, such as Steins salad, Nancys salad made with fresh field
greens, candied walnuts, dried cranberries and feta cheese, topped by
raspberry vinaigrette, or a classic Caesar salad topped with grilled
salmon and dressing.
Eos has an elegant tasting room that provides just the right
ambience for a wine tasting experience. There is also an outdoor area
with beautiful views of the grounds. The winery offers four tasting
options to choose from: Featured, Reserve, Zinfandels Only and
Sweet Wines Only. For visitors who are interested in a personalized
experience, Eos also offers private tastings and lunches for up to 100
guests with advance reservation. While you are there, try indulging in
one of Eos famous Zinfandel-infused wine brownies.
If you want to celebrate the holiday season in style, you can visit
Eos on Saturday, December 13th or on Sunday, December 14th from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Listen to live jazz music performed by James
Gentry, try one of Eos Zinfandel wine brownies, or sip on a glass of
10
hot-spiced wine. There is also a chance to get some of your holiday

shopping done while you are at Eos. Both the tasting room and the
gift shop have merchandise on sale that is perfect for the holidays,
including certain wines for $99 a case.
While wineries often take the names of their founder or refer to a
particular geographic location, Eos moniker is unique. The winery is
named in honor of the Greek goddess of dawn who opened the gates
of heaven each morning to allow the sun to rise. Her story, however,
is rather tragic. When she had an affair with Ares, she was cursed by
Aphrodite and given an insatiable appetite for young men. This
passion is what Eos seeks to channel into their wine production.
They are known for producing dense reds, complex whites and
luscious dessert wines.
While Eos has produced many great wines over the years, the
2012 vintage available now is something special. A mild winter and a
warm, sunny summer produced healthy vines and steady growth.
The result is varietally-true and delectable wines that are described as
outstanding. One of these is the 2012 Brohaugh Reserve Petite Sirah.
The wine was made from grapes from the Brohaugh Vineyard, located
between Creston and Paso Robles. The vines are situated on gentle
slopes of sand loam, which helps minimize vine vigor and produces
concentrated flavors in the fruit. The wine has a rich bouquet of
blackberry, cassis, violet and cured meat; the palate is dry, with a
touch of sweet pipe tobacco.
Eos tasting room is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except for
major holidays. Theya are located at 2300 Airport Road in Paso
Robles. For more information, call (805) 5918050 or visit
www.eosvintage.com. You can also find Eos on Facebook and Twitter.

OPOLO VINEYARDS
A Favorite of Visitors and Locals Alike
Open daily 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

7110 Vineyard Drive, Paso Robles, CA 93401

Keeping up with the Joneses has never been an issue for California neighbors Rick
Quinn and David Nichols. In 1996, the two discovered a shared passion for wines and
winemaking which led to the creation of Opolo Vineyards, a winery known for its
outstanding, consumer friendly wines and excellent customer service.
Comprised of 80 hilly acres on the west side of Paso Robles, and over 200 acres in the
gently sloping east side hills, Opolo Vineyards has been producing fruit since the late 1990s;
the tasting room opened in 2001. Originally, Quinn and Nichols had no plans to start their
own winery, although according to Nichols, We both love to make wine and have made
our own backyard wine for some time. Twenty years later, Opolo Vineyards produces
nearly 30,000 cases a year and boasts over 30 wines made from seventeen different varietals.
Although Quinn jokingly calls it a hobby that got out of control, Opolo has become a
staple in the Paso Robles wine industry and a favorite of visitors and locals alike.
Quinn and Nichols spirit of partnership continues in the winemaking process at Opolo
as well. In addition to the owners, the Winemaker, Vineyard Manager, Lab Manager, Cellar
Master and other employees all work together to create wines that appeal to a variety of
palates, although Quinn and Nichols have the final vote. With this truly communal
approach, all aspects of winemaking are kept in mind while creating the final product. What
emerges from this process are Opolos signature wines, which Quinn describes as big, bold
wines, approachable and consumer friendly. One such wine is Opolos Mountain
Zinfandel, which boasts aromas of pomegranate, fig, and cranberry on the nose. Raspberry
jam dominates the mid-palate nuanced by savory butterscotch overtones. Flavors of vanilla,
white and cayenne peppers, and cinnamon spice make for a lively finish.
Customer service and a welcoming tasting room atmosphere are integral to the Opolo
experience. On any given day, visitors to the tasting room are greeted by the friendly staff
and treated to a fun, personalized wine experience. On the weekends, tasters enjoy freshly
made pizzas, flatbread and Opolos famous Cevapcici (a traditional Yugoslavian sausage),
paired with a choice of wines.
One of Opolos most popular celebrations is the annual Harvest Festival. During the
festival, the scenic hilltop comes alive with the sounds of Serbian folk music and the smells
of roasted lamb, chicken and pork. Daring visitors are also invited to participate in the grape
stomping and folk dancing.
Rather than turning their hobby into a competition, Quinn and Nichols chose to forge
a partnership that would result in a truly unique wine experience. Visitors to Opolo
Vineyards leave with a sense of community, friendship, and of course, fantastic wine.

SAN ANTONIO WINERY

Deep Roots and Family History in California
BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Many family businesses never last as long as the Riboli family and
within the California wine industry, there are even fewer generational
wineries. What surprises most people is that the Riboli family and
their San Antonio Winery have been actively making wine for 97
years. In 1917 the Riboli family started their winery in Los Angeles,
near downtowns historic Olvera Street, which was once a hub of
grape growing and winemaking.
The Riboli story isnt limited to Southern California though; it is
the Central Coast where the family has put down roots, literally. San
Antonio opened a tasting room in Paso Robles in 2008 and yet the
Ribolis have been using Central Coast fruit for decades. Once
vineyards were ripped up in the Los Angeles area to make way for
more buildings, the Ribolis wisely understood the potential that the
Central Coast offered; they moved to secure vineyards as far back as
1988 with their three vineyards in Monterey. They recently acquired
land and planted two Paso Robles vineyards in the El Pomar area.
These sites, named Stefano and Maddalena for the family patriarch
and matriarch, were ideal due to the combination of soils, climate
and high quality water. The family also owns an estate vineyard in the
Rutherford region of Napa Valley, which produces the Riboli Family
Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to their own properties, they have
long-term contracts with various grape growers, which secures the
consistency of their fruit. That consistency and focus on crafting the
best wines possible resulted in a slew of awards at the 2014 Central
Coast Wine Competition, including pulling in Best of Show Red for
their Cabernet Sauvignon, Best Zinfandel and Best Malbec.
Winning awards and making wine always appears to be a fun
venturea kind of hobby for many peoplebut for the Ribolis it is a
continuum of history. Were hard working people and this is what
18
our family does for a living, says fourth generation family member
and winemaker Anthony Riboli. Our tasting rooms offer a wide
array of choices from award winning, full-bodied reds to sweet
dessert wines. We cater to many different tastes. They offer two
tasting options at the Paso Robles tasting room: the Daily Tasting and
the Artisans Series, which consists of award winning and highly
allocated wines. Regardless of which flight you choose, San Antonios
portfolio spans traditional ones like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon
and Pinot Noir, to lesser known varietals such as Petite Sirah, Malbec,
Petit Verdot, Viognier and a very popular line of Moscatos for those
with a preference for sweet wines.
In addition, at the Paso Robles tasting room they offer pizza and
other foods made by a local chef on the weekends so you can do
your wine tasting, then get a glass or a bottle to go with a bite of food
and hang out on the patio. They also have a large gift selection, and
the wood-toned interior features custom metal wine racks and photos
of the historic original winery. They are dog friendly as well and its
easy access right off Highway 46. If you happen to be in downtown
Los Angeles or even Ontario, youll find their other tasting rooms
so San Antonio wines are never too far away.
The Paso Robles tasting room is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. amd located at 2610 Buena Vista Drive, right off Highway
46 in Paso Robles. For more information, visit
www.sanantoniowinery.com or contact them at (805) 226-2600.

ROBERT HALL WINERY

A Living Legacy
BY LISA PRETTY

3443 Mill Road, Paso Robles, CA 93446
(805) 239-1616 | www.roberthallwinery.com
20
Robert Hall Winery is proof that hard work, determination and attention to
detail really can make dreams come true. The winery was the vision of Robert L.
Hall, a man who after a successful career dabbling in a number of ventures, moved
to Paso Robles to plant vineyards and produce a nationally distributed line of foodfriendly, age-worthy wines.
The winery sources fruit from 300 acres of estate vines in addition to purchasing
fruit from other quality growers spread across the Paso Robles AVA. Using 100%
Paso Robles grapes, winemaker Don Brady delivers "The Essence of Paso Robles"
in each one of the varietals and blends produced. He has worked with the same
vineyard blocks for thirteen years and has developed a consistent house style. The
wines are offered at an extremely good value for premium wine -- this was one of
Robert's missions since he wanted consumers to be able to enjoy the wine every
day with friends and family.
The hospitality center and tasting room were also built with a vision of friends
and family enjoying wine together. The many picnic areas offer places to sit and
relax while enjoying the spectacular views of the surrounding, oak-studded
vineyards. Ideally suited for events, the winery hosts several annually including:
two New Year's Eve Parties (one more formal with multi-course dinner and live
music in the Meritage room and the other in the cavern with a DJ for those who
like to dance the night away), Valentine's Day celebration, winemaker's dinners,
Port & Cigar events and wine club parties. The facilities are also available for
private events and on several weekends you may catch a glimpse of a bride
celebrating her special day.
The tasting room offers two options for tasting. The first includes a taste of five
wines selected from the house offering. These wines are distributed throughout the
country and are typically $20 or less. Cabernet Sauvignon is the winery's most
widely produced wine; however, the tasting list offers a number of dry whites, dry
reds and dessert wines include several Rhne varietals and blends. The second
1114CC_031805 10/23/14 2:58 PM Page 21
NOVEMBER 2014
option, for a slightly higher

tasting fee, includes 5 tastes of
the premium wines.
The winery launched the
Cavern Select line last year as a
direct to consumer offering of
very limited production wines
only available in the tasting
room, through the wine club, or
on the winery's website. The
Cavern Select wines are offered
on the premium tasting list with
other reserve wines including
the flagship Meritage and
Vintage Port.
The tasting room staff are
extremely knowledgeable and
are not only happy to answer
any questions, they will also take
you on a tour of the wine cavern
and production facilities. While
touring the cavern, guests learn
about the various sizes of oak
barrels and how wine is made at
Robert Hall Winery. Some days
they even offer a special treat -- a
taste of wine from the barrel.
These tours are available every
day as a complimentary perk to
make each guest's visit special.
Each month the winery
features a wine as the wine of the
month and offers a 10%
discount. The wine of the month
for November is Robert Hall's
Cuve de Robles, a Rhone-style
blend. This wine pairs perfectly
with a wide range of food and is
an ideal bottle to bring to
Thanksgiving Dinner.
Although Robert died at the
age of 85 last month, the winery
will continues to operate
following his vision under the
guidance of his wife, Margaret
Burrell Hall. The dedicated staff,
who were proud to have worked
with the man who followed his
dreams, are still offering
hospitality to guests in the
manner Robert taught them.

Il Cortile Ristorante
Locally Inspired Italian Cuisine in Downtown Paso Robles
BY LISA PRETTY
Executive Chef Santos MacDonal is a firm believer in using fresh,

locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. He visits the Central
Coast farmers' markets so often, looking for inspiration for the week's
menu, that he is well known to most of the purveyors.
Prior to moving to Paso Robles and opening Il Cortile with his
wife and managing partner, Carole MacDonal, Chef Santos worked in
several highly acclaimed restaurants in Southern California, including
Giorgio, Locando de Lago and L'Angolo Caf. His passion for fresh
ingredients, creative drive and culinary talents are all reflected in Il
Cortile's menu, which changes seasonally and offers inspirations as
specials. Every item, including the pasta, is made in-house with Chef
Santos personally overseeing every dish that leaves the kitchen.
Although the menu changes often, there are a few dishes that
remain due to their popularity. Grilled octopus with fresh vegetables
marinati leads an impressive list of anitipasti; there is always a
selection of mozzarella with decadent burrata, and homemade
pappadelle with wild boar ragu is a favorite for many regulars. For a
sweet ending there is nothing like the panna cotta.
The intimate dining room and cozy courtyard are the perfect
setting for a special dinner or romantic evening out. Impeccable
service and an impressive wine list paired with Chef Santos creations
have garnered Il Cortile a reputation as one of the top culinary
destinations in Paso Robles. Locals and wine country visitors
anxiously wait to hear the evening's specials each visit.
Carole has shown her passion in the extensive wine list. It really
is a passion of ours to provide Paso with fine Italian cuisine paired

with such wonderful wines. Its a pleasure to see our guests enjoy the
pairings as well. The wine list began as a fairly short list when the
restaurant opened five years ago; today the list has grown to over 250
bottles with a nice selection of wines from several regions of Italy, as
well as representing outstanding wines from Paso Robles and the
Central Coast. The restaurant was honored with the prestigious 2014
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, an award only one other
restaurant in the area received.
Il Cortile, located at 608 12th Street in Paso Robles, is open
Sunday through Thursday 5:00 - 10:00 p.m. and Friday through
Saturday 5:00 - 11:00 p.m. For reservations, call (805) 226-0300 or

VILLA SAN-JULIETTE
VINEYARD & WINERY
Permission to Indulge
BY LISA PRETTY

6385 Cross Canyons Road, San Miguel, CA 93451
(805) 467-0014 | www.villasanjuliette.com

Located on the scenic Pleasant Valley Wine Trail in San Miguel, the majestic Villa SanJuliette buildings lure wine country visitors into the estate for a tasting and a glimpse of what
the Hollywood producer owners, Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick, have created.
The short walk from the parking area, along the sidewalk surrounded with the manicured
landscape, leads to a spectacular fountain set in front of nature's backdrop of rolling, oakstudded vineyards and distant hills. A comfortable lounge area beckons guests to sit and relax
while taking in the expansive views.
Stepping inside the tasting room, guests are greeted with European-inspired elegance and
friendly tasting room staff. The tasting menu features the Villa San-Juliette brand made from
their best estate fruit. With just three to five feet of calcareous soil overlaying rock and gravel,
the San Miguel vineyards deliver rich fruit, deep in color with flavor that is true to each
varietal.
The estate vineyards are planted with eleven different varietals, with the majority of the
acreage dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. Along with these
wines, the winery offers Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and "Chorum" blends under the house label.
A reserve offering includes a number of additional varietals including Albario, Pinot Gris,
Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Alicante Bouschete, Grenache and a couple of dry Ros
wines.
Villa San-Juliette's winemaker, Matt Ortman, joined the team with an extensive
background in winemaking. He believes in the region and feels the estate vineyards are
capable of creating exceptional wines. Matt's goal is to create wines of richness, depth and
character which will stand up to the quality of the landscape and tasting room experience. He
prides himself in delivering wines that are true to their varietal while showcasing the terrior.
For those who enjoy a challenge, the tasting room offers a "So you think you can taste?"
blind pouring of four wines. The tasting fee of $15 will be waived if all four of the wines are
correctly identified. This is a fun way to test your senses and also focus your efforts on the
wine. The tasting room also offers a seasonal menu of decadent small bites, crafted to pair
with the estate and reserve wines. These small bites are offered daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. and may be enjoyed at the tasting bar, or taken to the lounge area to enjoy with a glass
or bottle of wine. The menu changes frequently, based on the availability of seasonal
ingredients and changes in the wine. For groups larger than twelve, the tasting room requests
advance reservations.
It isn't surprising, with the 168-acre playground, that the winery hosts a number of events
to indulge their guests. Several months of the year, the winery often offers live music with a
Sunday Music Series as a great way to relax on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Club members are
occasionally invited to garden parties with croquet and on special occasions, the winery offers
unique experiences such as hayrides through the vineyard, helicopter tours and educational
seminars.
You are invited to share the good life with your own private events at Villa San-Juliette.
Picnic lunches, guided tours and custom experiences may be arranged for couples or larger
groups. The beauty of this property is also ideally suited to weddings and corporate events.
The event staff is available to help you with the planning and ensure that all your guests have
to do is indulge.

SCULPTERRA WINERY
AND SCULPTURE GARDEN

5015 Linne Road, Paso Robles, CA 93446
(805) 226-8881 | www.sculpterra.com
Sculpterra Winery & Sculpture Garden is now in their seventh

year of business and has become quite the destination on the Eastside
of Paso Robles. Known for the larger than life bronze and granite
sculptures featured around the tasting room, the estate offers
something for every type of visitor.
Sculpterra is located at 5015 Linne Road just five miles east of the
Spring Street exit in the heart of Paso Robles. Sculpterras signature
cat decorates the sign, which distinguishes the turn off of Linne
Road. World renowned sculptor and long-time Central Coast resident
John Jagger sculpted the magnificent 14 foot, 7 ton granite cat,
Golden Morning which welcomes guests at the entrance to the
sculpture garden. Next to the cat is a new addition to the property by
local sculptor and Artist in Residence, Dale Evers. Mega Focus is a
one ton, 24 foot tall bronze and stainless steel sculpture that depicts a
man holding onto a bow and launching himself into the future
similar to Sculpterras path to a brighter future.
Upon entering the grounds, ones eyes are instantly drawn to the
intricate old world iron work of Robert Bentley. All entrances are
elaborate from the front gate to the tasting room door and beyond
with a strong attention to detail. Sculpterra Winery is the meeting
place for the finest sculpture and iron work in California and
wonderful wines from the estate vineyard.
There are a number of varietals planted throughout the Estate
Vineyard from their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon to Mourvdre,
Cabernet Franc, Primitivo, Petite Sirah, as well as Viognier and much
more. The property was first planted by Dr. Frankel and family with
pistachios in the early eighties; grape plantings followed in the
nineties. Today the Sculpterra estate has 260 acres with 30 acres
dedicated to pistachios and 140 acres of wine grapes. The pistachios
are sampled in the tasting room today and are part of the wine flight.
In addition to the varietal wines from the vineyard, Sculpterra
offers a number of blends and a couple of dessert wines. These
blends feature the original line drawings from the artist and include
Figurine, Repousse, Maquette and Statuesque, and are dedications to
specific wine regions around the globe. Hroe is a new offering from
Sculpterra Winery and is a tribute to the unsung heroes of the wine
industrythe vineyard workers and production team. A percentage
of the proceeds from the sales of Hroe is donated to the local
chapter of the Flying Samaritans who perform medical trips to Baja,
while a percentage of proceeds from Sculpterra wines are donated to
His Healing Hands which was co-founded by Dr. Frankel.
Go out and enjoy this gem on the Eastside of Paso Robles and
sample a flight of the featured wines, or purchase wine by the glass or
bottle to enjoy in the gardens. Sculpterra hosts music each Sunday
from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. with Steve Key presents, Songwriters at
Play. For more information, visit www.sculpterra.com.

Wine Tasting in
ts no wonder the people here

call it SLO. No one is in any hurry
in the cafs or on the sidewalks, and
certainly no one is in any rush to
leave. Strangers are genuinely
friendly, always ready to talk about
their favorite hiking trail or
barbecue joint, or to point the way
to the winery with the best Pinot
Noir. Its all part of the SLO life, that
combination of good stuff that
makes visiting here so nourishing to
the soul.
San Luis Obispos unusual natural

beauty, along with its gentle climate,
first attracted the Spanish padres to
the area in the 1700s. In 1772 they
built the fifth of Californias 21
missions here, on the banks of San
Luis Creek, and named it Mission
San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Today,
many consider this the most beautiful of the Spanish missions.
More than 200 wineries produce
critically acclaimed vintages in
Paso Robles, Edna Valley and
Arroyo Grande Valley. Visitors can
head out along the gorgeous
country roads to sip their way
through the vineyards.

Obispo County, go to visitslo.com

The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers was

established in 2004 by Brian and Johnine Talley to
provide grants to non-profit organizations that assist
San Luis Obispo County agricultural workers and
their families. The endowment is over $590,000
with a goal to establish an endowment of $1 million
so that this support can continue in perpetuity.
The key fundraising effort for The Fund for
Vineyard and Farm Workers is the annual release of
Mano Tinta. Mano Tinta ("Red Hand" in Spanish)
was chosen to signify the pride and commitment of
farm workers to their craft. All of the grapes,
materials and services used to make Mano Tinta
wines are donated and all of the profit benefits The
Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers. Sinor LaValle

Castoros annual Beaverstock event is always a delight to look forward to; this year was no
exception. September 13th-14th marked a dedication to music and community. This family
and education-forward event was inspired by the children that boldly shape the Central
Coast community. Castoro brought together a phenomenal music lineup and showcased
local food vendors, craft breweries, artists and yoga professionals. The event benefited the
Templeton Education Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to giving back to the Templeton
School district. The Castoro team can hardly wait to see what great community involvement
Beaverstock 2015 will bring.

the fourth annual Garagiste Festival in Paso Robles to be held
November 6th to 9th. Over 70 garagiste winemakers are scheduled
to pour over 150 wines during the non-profit festival, which is the
first and only festival dedicated to undiscovered and underrecognized American garagiste winemakers who are making some of
the best, most exciting, handcrafted small-lot wines in the world.
Tickets are now on sale at http://californiagaragistes.com/buy-tickets/.
Fifty+ artisan winemakers from the Paso Robles area are slated to
pour during the festivals Grand Tasting at the Ponderosa Pavilion at
the Paso Robles Fairgrounds on November 8th; and 20 winemakers
from Northern California and Santa Barbara County (90% of whom
do not have tasting rooms) will be featured for the first time at The
Opening Roundat the historic Carlton Hotel in Atascadero on
November 7th. This event includes cheese and charcuterie from
Vivant Fine Cheese and hearty appetizers from popular local chef
Johnny Jantz. Kicking off the festival on Thursday November 6th is
the Shiners, Samples, and Secrets Winemaker Mixer at Templetons
First Crush, offering barrel samples, off-the-grid tastings and nibbles
from Vivant Cheese.
We have an extraordinary and expanded line-up of winemakers

this year. Many of our favorite Paso area garagistes are returning,
along with new and exciting discoveries from southern, central and
northern California, most pouring in Paso for the very first time,
said Garagiste Festival Co-founder Doug Minnick. We are also very
excited about our tasting seminars this year: Taste Like a Pro led by
Matt Kettmannof The Wine Enthusiast, who has been helping raise
awareness about our garagiste winemakers since our very first
festival; and Making A Dream Come True: My Second Career as a
Vineyard Owner and Winemaker, featuring some of our most
successful garagistes (and their signature wines) - Bob Tillman of Alta
Colina, Carl Bowker of Caliza, and Victor Abascal of Vines on the
Marycrest.
In addition, the festivals Rockin After Party winds down (up!) the
main event on November 8th, with the return by popular demand of
local band High Voltage, as well as beer from Barrelhouse Brewery
and down-home eats from Jeffrys Catering. Rounding out the

When you ask winemaker Kevin Willenborg about the techniques he uses at Vina
Robles Winery, the word balance is mentioned, again and again. He said that growing
grapes that can be turned into exceptional wines requires an attention to detail, a focus
on observation, and an emphasis on balance.
Willenborg said, Wine should express the terroir of the area and we are looking to
fully capture that by balancing the vine to the wine. He said that this process begins
with clonal selection and rootstock, and involves having the right soils, conditions, and
viticultural impacts. He said, A winemaker has to be out in the vineyard to shepherd
and balance the vine so as to fully express the fruit for a given terroirs potential.
As everyone knows, harvest is a crucial time for winemakers. Willenborg makes
picking decisions based on taste and texture. He also looks for physiological
development of the skins and seeds, as well as flavor. Skins and seed development are
especially important for the color, textures and mouthfeel found in red wines since
they are fermented with both skins and seeds of the grape, he said.
Willenborg said he uses a combination of modern and old world techniques in the
production of Vina Robles wines. He uses pump overs and punch downs, barrel aging
in French oak barrels, and traditional cellar racking as part of his nod to tradition.
However, he also employs color and tannin analysis techniques, modern filtration
methods, and blends wines using nontraditional varietals. One of these is the WHITE4
blend made with Viognier, Verdelho, Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc. He said, It is
not traditional, but it expresses the bold expressive fruit and terroir of Paso.
Vina Robles is known for its red wines, especially its Cabernet. However, the winery
also produces a variety of other noteworthy wines, including a limited edition Petit
Verdot.
Here is a list of some of the wines currently available:
Suendero - This is a Bordeaux blend aptly named the dream path. It is described
as rich, bold and expressive.
Petite Sirah This wine is distinctive. While many Petite Sirahs can be overly
aggressive and dry, Vina Robles produces a wine with rich dark fruit flavors and a
creamy finish.
Petit Verdot This wine has very rich dark fruit tones and creamy tannins. It has
been bottled in a small quantity and will be offered in the hospitality center starting
December 5.

Paso Robles Wine Country

Fine-Tuned to Offer 11 New Viticultural Areas
Districts Recognize Diversity While Still Preserving the Greater Paso Robles Brand
The Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, in conjunction with the
Paso Robles American Viticultural Area (AVA) Committee, applauds
the United States Department of the Treasurys published final ruling
today, establishing 11 new viticultural areas within the greater Paso
Robles AVA. This historic announcement concludes a seven-year
process by a dedicated group of Paso Robles vintners and winegrape
growers who created a unified approach to develop a comprehensive
master plan for the greater Paso Robles American Viticultural Area.
These new AVAs are based on meso-climactic, geological and
historical information which highlight each individual district to be
unique as a winegrape growing area. The 11 AVAs are as follows:
Adelaida District, Creston District, El Pomar District, Paso Robles
Estrella District, Paso Robles Geneseo District, Paso Robles Highlands
District, Paso Robles Willow Creek District, San Juan Creek, San
Miguel District, Santa Margarita Ranch and the Templeton Gap
District.
These new AVAs will be a powerful tool for wineries to explain
why certain grapes are particularly well suited to certain parts of the
appellation, and why some wines show the characteristics they do
while other wines, from the same or similar grapes, show differently,
said Jason Haas, general manager of Tablas Creek Vineyard and Paso
Robles AVA Committee member. Ultimately, the new AVAs will
allow these newly created sub-regions to develop identities for
themselves with a clarity impossible in a single large AVA.
AVA labeling provides information to consumers and trade about
what is in the bottle, helping them make a better informed buying
decision based on expectations of the region. Thanks to a conjunctive
labeling law spearheaded by the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance
in 2007, the Paso Robles AVA retains top billing on a wine label with
the individual districts serving as a way to fine-tune location and
potential character of wines. While Paso Robles wineries are not
required to use the sub-region on the label, when they do, Paso
Robles will be printed with equal or more significance.
"Our AVA is an incredibly diverse region that has taken its
rightful place on the world wine stage, said Steve Lohr, chairman
and CEO of J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, and former chairman of the
Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance. These sub appellations will
allow growers and vintners to tell their stories more clearly, which in
turn will give consumers and the trade a much greater understanding
of Pasos diversity and complexity. Prior to this, Paso Robles was the
largest non-county California AVA not currently subdivided. It is also
an area with more diversity of rainfall, soils and climate than almost
any other comparably sized region. We have been a great believer in
this initiative since the beginning, and are proud that it has been
accomplished in a way that will strengthen the Paso Robles brand
with conjunctive labeling."
The petition for the 11 new AVAs was filed in the spring of 2007
by the specially formed Paso Robles AVA Committee. A group of 59
vintners and growers, with the assistance of experts in a variety of
fields, methodically crafted the submission with science as its
standard. The petition proved to be the single largest AVA proposal
ever filed with the United States Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB) due to the scale and scientific data assembled to
substantiate the request.
The TTB published the final ruling Thursday, October 9 on
www.ttb.com. The official map of the 11 Viticultural Areas, as well as
a comparison grid detailing climate, rainfall, topography, etc., is
available on www.pasowine.com/media-center/the-avas-of-pasorobles.php. Media is encouraged to contact Christopher Taranto,
communications director with the Paso Robles Wine Country
Alliance for a roster of spokespeople with background on the new
viticultural areas.

Rotta Winery Introduces New Line of Wines

Rotta Winery, originally established in 1908, has announced a new
direction under the leadership of General Partner Jason Shorrock.
"We are so very proud to have resurrected many of the stories and
legends from our historic winery without losing site of the
winemaking. Under the guide of our acclaimed winemaker, Jeff
Branco, we are introducing a new line of wines using innovative
techniques and adhering to the historical 'DNA' of our property on
the west side of the Paso Robles AVA. Our team's sixth sense has
always told us that we had something special at this location but it
wasn't until we decided to take a 'chapter one' approach to the wines,
viticulture and history that we were able to discover this location as
the cradle of what would become the Paso Robles AVA," says
Shorrock.
"In the late 19th and early 20th century, San Luis Obispo County
was sparsely planted to a few vitis vinifera (wine) grapes. In those
days, there was rarely a conversation about the species or individual
character of a varietal. The grapes were brought from Europe or from
the emerging Napa Valley by Italian and French American immigrants
as the 'Red' or 'White' that they grew near their home. There was no
fuss, just field-blended wine that found its way on to the family table

blend, a single vineyard Zinfandel, Ros and our famous Black

Monukka dessert wine," Shorrock explains.
Our 2013 red blend is of Bordeaux varietals such as Merlot and
Cabernet. It is aged for a short time in French Oak so that the wine is
clean, sophisticated, value oriented and approachable ($20).
Our White blend is in the same tradition of the red, which is
made as a style, not a variety. Primarily Sauvignon Blanc, the wine is
similar in style to the aromatic blended whites of Orvieto in the
Umbria Region of Italy ($17).
Our Ros is another blend that is approachable and consumer
friendly. Made in the Saignee or "bleed-method," which combines red
and white wine together for a refreshing wine for any meal ($17).
One of the first grapes planted in San Luis Obispo County were
Zinfandel and Rotta is no different. We have renamed our Zinfandel
vineyard "Osso Balena," which is Italian for whale bone. Our
property, like others in the area, is a former sea bed where many
fossilized whale bones were found in our limestone rock formations.
Our "new era" Osso Balena Zinfandel is packed with structure,
sophisticated fruit character and ripeness; sure to be a favorite from
this region ($42).
Rotta continues its more recent tradition of making Black
Monukka, a grape originating in Jerez, Spain that was brought
California's Central Valley, where only 85 acres remain today. Rotta
uses Black Monukka to make its dessert Sherry style wine. A
perennial favorite in the tasting room, Black Monukka's style is part
Sherry, part Tawny Port and all delicious ($31).
When asked about his winemaking at Rotta, winemaker Jeff
Branco explained, "I focus on making balanced, ripe wines that are a
reflection of the soils and climate's typicity. At Rotta, we have two
simple rules that start with picking grapes at their ideal ripeness and
then preserving that character through our approach to winemaking."
Branco joined Rotta in 2013 as the 3rd American to receive a
Masters of Viticulture & Enology from the University of Bordeaux. In
his career, he has served as Assistant to Winemaker at Pape Clement,
Pessac-Leognan and Cellar & Vineyard Worker at Maison Sichel,
Bordeaux. Branco was trained by esteemed consulting winemakers
(Michel Rolland, Pascal RibereauGayon and Denis Dubourdieu) and
served as Winemaker for Justin Vineyards & Winery, where he
received a Wine Spectator Top 10 and two Top 100 awards in five
years. He is the first winemaker to receive a 95pt. rating (WS) for a
Paso Robles wine ('00).

Montemar Wines
BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Having opened in August of

2013, Montemar Wines is one of
the newest wineries in Santa
Barbara Countys Lompoc Wine
Ghetto. Owner and Winemaker
Steve Arrowood handcrafts
Rhne and Burgundian varietals,
making 1,400 cases of wine
sourced from 14 different
vineyards in Santa Barbara. The
ghetto is full of passionate people,
who are all about quality and this is the kind of place I like to visit,
he says. Though Steve cannot always be in the tasting room, more
often than not you will find him behind the bar.
The winery was actually started in Palos Verdes Estates in 1992
out of Steves garage. One of the many things I love about
winemaking is that it is a lifelong learning experience and it helps
keep the mind and body youthful, he says. Montemar offers
multiple Pinot Noirs from the Santa Rita Hills including the near
legendary La Encantada vineyard, as well as six other great vineyards.
I am a super fan of the Santa Rita Hills AVA and am proud to be on
the AVA's board of directors. His other wines include Grenache,
Syrah, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay among several
others. The tasting room in the Wine Ghettos industrial section of
Lompoc features a large outdoor patio, which features live music, a
beach and many games including an adult-sized Jenga set!
Bottle prices range from $18 to $50 and their tasting fee is $10.
Montemar Wines is open Thursday through Monday 11:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday until 8:00 p.m. They are located in
the Lompoc Wine Ghetto at 1501 E. Chestnut Court #E. Find them

Wine Tasting in
Joseph Blair Wines

Mark Cargasacchi has been making wine
since 2004, while he was the oenologist for
Fess Parkers winery. After moving on to
Rideau Vineyard, demand went far beyond
what he could make on the side, so he
settled on a spot close to home and started
Jalama Wines in the Lompoc Wine Ghetto
around four years ago.
Mark opened the tasting room for his
second label, Joseph Blair Wines, at the
beginning of 2012. This second label draws
upon some of his estate vineyard wines, but
also goes further east to warmer vineyards,
sourcing varietals you wont find at Jalama.
Joseph Blair Wines produces small lots,
with a focus on vineyard designated wines.

The individual lots are generally around 100
cases or less, so when you have one of these,
youll know it is something special and
unique.
Current releases include a variety of
whites; from Chenin Blanc, to Sta. Rita Hills
Chardonnay. Reds include estate grown Pinot
Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Ynez
Valley and a couple of delicious blends.
While tasting here, youll be surrounded
by beautiful works from local artists. Our
exhibit changes every few months, so be sure
to get on our mailing list or stop in often to
see what is new.
I make what I love, and I am continually

inspired by our vineyards, and those we are
surrounded by. Such a palate of varietals and
terroir that I can't choose to make just one or
two. The result is many different local wines,
all produced by hand, in small amounts.
Thank you for sharing my passion for great
wine.
Joseph Blair Wines is located at 1501 East
Chesnut Avenue in Lompoc. They are open
Friday through Sunday 12:00 to 5:00 p.m.
For more information call them at
(805) 618-2072 or visit the website at

Zotovich Estate Vineyard & Winery may

be a small, family-run entity, but its
handcrafted wines produce big results. Wine
critic Stephen Tanzer gave Zotovichs 2011
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah a high
rating each receiving 92 points.
The road to success wasnt easy, however.
Steve Zotovich said that he didnt walk into a
ready-made and profitable vineyard. When
he first bought the vineyard in 2004, it
needed a lot of work. The weeds in the
vineyard were taller than the vines, he said.
He removed a grove of Eucalyptus, and made
many other improvements. We started out
grassroots to get to where we are today,
Zotovich said.
He credits his nephew, winemaker Ryan
Zotovich, with emphasizing the production
of serious wines. Ryan created a team when
he joined Zotovich in 2010 with a focus on
experimenting and producing distinctive
wines. Stephen Tanzer ratings of Zotovich
wines show that others find their varietals
noteworthy.
Zotovichs tasting room is distinctive as
well. It is located directly across from the
Lompoc Wine Ghetto in the Santa Rita Hills
Wine Center. While the word ghetto is
usually associated with negative
connotations, wine connoisseurs know that

said, The experience at the new Wine

Collection of El Paseo is very different from
other wine tasting areas and is attracting a
different demographic. Our visitors are not
only interested in locally-crafted, smallproduction, distinctive wines, but also have
a keen interest in the educational aspects,
including learning about the terroir where
the grapes are grown.
Adds Katie Grassini of Grassini Family
Vineyards, Were thrilled to have an
opportunity to showcase so many of the diverse wine growing
regions of Santa Barbara County at one truly stunning complex.
Visitors will be able to taste our estate wines, as well as other
distinguished, limited edition efforts, in an intimate setting where
they can meander down the cobblestone paths through the paseo
and enjoy the peaceful courtyards of this beautiful, historic building.
Jamie Slone of Jamie Slone Wines says: Our winemaker, Doug
Margerum is helping us produce some really elegant wines that are
terroir-driven, low-alcohol and food-friendly. Were thrilled! Were
featuring ultra-premium Burgundian, Bordeaux and Rhone wine
varietals from Santa Barbara Countys finest vineyards. Joining the
new Wine Collection of El Paseo is a perfect fit for our brand. Our
new tasting room features classic Spanish Colonial architecture,
beautiful interiors, and is in the middle of fabulous fine dining and
high-end shopping. We think thats what an American Riviera
Experience is all about. Kym Slone adds, We want customers to
feel the experience of being welcomed into our home and our tasting
room has been designed with that in mind. Ill be there pouring
along with Jamie and our little Havanese dog Sophie. Come visit us.
Sean Pitts of Happy Canyon Vineyard echoed the enthusiasm.
This is a fantastic avenue for us to share not only our estate grown
Bordeaux varietal wines, but also our familys story. Weve always
been impressed with the tasting rooms in the El Paseo, and when a
space in the historic building became available, we jumped at the
opportunity. The Barrack family-owned and operated vineyard and
winery plans to energize the courtyard, using the grassy area to teach
guests about Polo a game near and dear to Happy Canyon
Vineyard, which has two regulation Polo fields on its Santa Ynez
Valley property at Piocho Ranch in the Happy Canyon of Santa
Barbara AVA.
Au Bon Climat Winerys Jim Clendenen concludes, Santa Barbara
and the Urban Wine Trail has really come alive the last few years with
wine tasting opportunities for visitors. Those that seriously appreciate
the wine and food experience can start their journey here at the new
Wine Collection of El Paseo. Im pleased to welcome Happy Canyon
Vineyard and Jamie Slone Wines to this collection.

SANTA MARIA VALLEY
Welcome to
Costa De Oro Winery
Costa de Oro Tasting Room & Marketplace is located right off of

Highway 101 in Santa Maria. This site pays tribute to the history
behind Costa De Oro - it was the strawberry stand for Gold Coast
Farms, the parent company of Costa De Oro, which has been
farming Santa Maria since 1978. Gold Coast Vineyard was planted
to 20 acres of Pinot Noir and 10 acres of Chardonnay in 1989, and
these grapes were sold to the areas best wineries including Au Bon
Climat. Gary Burk, Costa de Oro co-owner & winemaker, was
fortunate to work in the winery with Jim Clendenen, from 19942002, and during this time he began to make his own wine. Gary
started with just one barrel of Chardonnay and one barrel of Pinot.
Today, Costa de Oro produces over 6000 cases featuring Chardonnay
& Pinot Noir from the estate Gold Coast Vineyard. The best place
to experience the wines is at the Tasting Room and Marketplace,
where guests can taste five wines for only $10. In addition to regular
tasting room hours (normally 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily), each
Friday evening, Costa de Oro hosts Friday Night Wine Downs
featuring live music from local musicians and $12 dinner plates
prepared by Chef Rick! Another facet to the Costa de Oro portfolio
is their Wine on Tap. Kegged wine, wine stored and shipped inside
five gallon kegs instead of bottles, has been gaining popularity

throughout the past several years. Costa de Oro started kegging wine
for high-end accounts, like Roys Hawaii. Now these wines, a white
and a red are available in the tasting room by the glass and by the
growler (these can be refilled). Costa de Oro Wine Club members
receive discounts on keg wines, bottled wines and complimentary
tastings.

Bell Street Farm is a distinct eatery and market in the heart of wine
country in historic Los Alamos. An ideal destination for residents and
visitors alike, the country chic setting offers a warm and inviting
atmosphere to enjoy a meal, snack or sample local wines.
I work with local artisans, food purveyors, winemakers and
farmers to create a distinct dining and retail experience at Bell Street
Farm, says Jamie Gluck, owner of Bell Street Farm. The space is an
expression of my lifelong passion for fine foods and we use only the
freshest ingredients found along the California Coast.
The eatery was designed to reflect elements found from the
original 1916 building with a modern charm. Gluck scoured the
area to find materials and design elements that would work with the
design. He works with local artisans like woodcrafter Richard Motz
to create chopping blocks and cheese boards as well as Ramona
Clayton of nearby Terrmonary to custom-create all of the ceramic
serving dishes used for serving olives, salads and cheeses.
Bell Street Farms menu offerings include sandwiches with locally
made breads and California cheeses, farm fresh salads with
vegetables and greens from local farms, rotisserie Huntsinger freerange chicken, unique salads and house-made cookies, pot de
cremes and sweets.
All retail offerings are carefully selected to reflect the local area
experience and include picnic baskets, aprons and assorted kitchen
items, luxurious hand and body products, as well as culinary themed
gifts. Bell Street Farm also offers custom designed picnic baskets for
groups of two people to 200.
Located in the heart of Downtown Los Alamos, Bell Street Farm is
just 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara and 75 miles from Paso
Robles. The eatery and market is open Friday and Saturday 11:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday and Monday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
and offers seating for guests to enjoy a meal, snack or glass of wine as
well as an open-air patio.

The south of the trail, closer to the tasting room hotbed of Los

Grenache and Viognier and some of the first Santa Barbara plantings
of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in the early 1970s. In the

Burgundian styles are more readily available, where the cooler

Roger and Priscilla Higgins, owners of Cimarone Wines, are

people willing to take a chance to create something special. After
having prosperous careers in the Silicon Valley, they decided to
pursue a new course to make great wines. In order to find the right
place, they visited the Santa Ynez Valley. They drove down Highway
154, took one look at the valley below, and knew it was the place
they wanted to be.
Having been involved in cutting edge industries in their former
careers, the Higgins approached winemaking in an entrepreneurial
spirit. Instead of choosing to make wines in an already established
area, like Napa, they decided to take a gamble on an untested
location. They chose to set up their winery in Happy Canyon in Santa
Ynez.
Happy Canyon was named an AVA in 2009, and local lore has it
that this isnt the first time it has been known for its alcohol. During
Prohibition, there was said to be a distillery producing alcohol in the
canyon, and people used to say They were taking a trip up Happy
Canyon.
Cimarone Wines are products

of Happy Canyons unique
climate. The canyon has the
highest temperatures in the Santa
Ynez Valley, gravelly, serpentine
soil and a mineral terroir coming
from the Los Padres National
Forest. It provides the perfect
climate to produce the Bordeaux
varietals that are Cimarones specialty.
One of Cimarones most popular wines is the 3CV Bank, a blend
of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot
and Syrah. Cimarone also produces a Sangiovese, the 2009 Cimarone
Gran Premio, the 2012 3CV Sauvignon Blanc and a 2012 3CV Cillas
Blend, made from Syrah and Bordeaux varietals, as well as a straight
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a Malbec.
The Higgins philosophy involves making wines that are
approachable and can be enjoyed by everyone. Their tasting room is
designed to be casual and inviting, and the prices of their wines are
reasonable. You can buy a bottle of one of their most popular wines
for less than $20.
Cimarones tasting room is located at 2982 Grand Avenue, Los
Olives. For more information, call (805) 688-8011 or visit
Cimarones website. They can also be found on Facebook at
www.facebook.com/Cimarone3CV.

Wine Tasting in
Alta Maria Vineyards

Alta Maria winery is owned and operated by two individuals with

exceptional pedigrees in their field. Paul Wilkins got his start in the
Edna Valley working with Pacific Vineyards and Edna Valley
vineyards, in the field and in the cellar, while he was studying fruit
science at Cal Poly. After seven harvests with Alban Estate, he
decided to spring out on his own and in 2005 he partnered with his
buddy, James Ontiveros to produce Alta Maria wines. James has an
incredible family history of California farmers and ranchers, and
gained his viticultural experience through the industrys biggest
players, Kendall-Jackson and Gallo. James honed his Central Coast
expertise through the Miller Family, over-seeing the areas most well
regarded vineyards, including Bien Nacido and French Camp.
In 2011, Paul and James opened their first tasting room in Los
Olivos. Now released are the 2013 Carbonic Pinot Noir, 2011 Pinot
Noir and the 2012 Chardonnay, all of which the guys are extremely
excited about. Paul and James each make their own separate labels,
Pauls is Autonom, focusing on Rhone varieties. James produces high
end Pinot Noir through his Native9 brand. These wines are also
available for tasting! Paul and James work hard to educate the staff on
all aspects of the enology and viticulture; guests can expect to gain
some knowledge from these industry greats when visiting. Joining
the disenos wine club guarantees further education. This month,
members can join Paul and James
at the Ontiveros Vineyard for

our annual Wine Club Pick up
partya day of sipping wine and
enjoying a great BBQ in the
middle of the ranch. More
information is available through
the tasting room; call (805) 6861144. To learn more, go to
www.altamaria.com and visit
them in Los Olivos, open daily
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at

Barbara and Central Coast Pinot Noirs. Located in the heart of the
Santa Ynez Valley wine country, this beautiful and inviting tasting
room is perfectly situated to also feature handcrafted wines
produced by smaller, Central Coast winemakers and wineries that
do not have their own tasting room or have limited hours. The
robust assortment of wines changes constantly, giving tasters the
opportunity to experience several new wines each visit. Tastings are
only $10 per person, and includes tastings of up to nine wines,

including four Pinot Noirs, two white wines, two other select reds
and a dessert wine. The sign indicating Consumable Art above the
door is an accurate reflection of the artistry that is reflected in each
of the wines carried.
Visitors will often have the opportunity to taste with owner
Chris Benzinger, whose knowledge of wines is incredibly extensive.
Whether enjoying it now or looking to age it, regardless of the
occasion Benzinger and his staff will be able to help you select the
perfect wine. There is also a wine club for those interested in
receiving an assortment of local wines, with several different
options to cater to quantity, frequency and price range.
The Los Olivos Tasting Room & Wine Shop is located at 2905
Grand Avenue in Los Olivos, and is open every day from
11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, call (805) 688-7406

Wine Tasting in
Cinque Stelle Winery

BY BETHANY RHINE
In 2006, the Crist family started their venture into winemaking by

beginning to farm their now-pristine estate vineyard located in Santa
Ynez, which resulted in their first wine vintage in 2009.
The Crist family is certainly admirable as they embrace the true
meaning of a family owned and operated winery. The passion,
determination and unity shared by each family member creates fine
wines that hold true to the concept of love and family. In fact, the
name Cinque Stelle (cheen-kweh stell-lay) is Italian for five star and
each star holds a very special meaning; they represent the individual
members of the Crist family and their unique contributions and
undeniable value in each step of the winemaking process.
Harvest is considered the most exciting time of the year at Cinque
Stelle because as the grapes come off the vines, the extraordinary
transformation into fine wines begins. Winemaker Matthew Crist
focuses on producing only small-lot, premium wines principally
sourced from their estate vineyard and strategically made to optimize
each varietals unique characteristics. The vineyard yields limited
quantities of ultra-premium fruit specializing in Italian and Spanish
varietals such as Pinot Grigio, Albarino and Tempranillo. Matthew
then makes all of the wines in oak barrels which gives their white
wines truly unique flavor profiles.
Ready for a taste? Visit Natalie Crist at Cinque Stelles tasting room
located in the quaint downtown of Los Olivos where the charming
California community has embraced the family winery since they
opened their doors in town just two years ago. In addition to fine
wine, the Los Olivos location has a womens boutique graced with
fine clothing and accessories. You wont be able to resist its European
flair and comfortable atmosphere that warmly invites you to sip on a
glass of Pinot Grigio as you browse the fine selection of jewelry and
unique gifts.
Fun Fact
Seven horses reside on the Crist ranch with the newest member of
the herd being baby Stella. The adorable filly is featured on the label
of Cinque Stelles very first Tuscan blend.

The tasting room is located at 2445 Alamo Pintado Avenue, Suite
102 in Los Olivos. They are opened Thursday through Sunday from
11:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm. For more information, call (805) 686-4101

Wine Tasting in
Lions Peak Vineyards

Wine is Art
When Jennifer Arant first moved to Paso Robles in 1992, she
started Lions Peak with the goal of producing exceptionally fine
Bordeaux, Rhne and specialty wines in small, handcrafted lots.
Located in the heart of the Paso Robles Appellation, the Lions
Peak Estate, is one of the oldest boutique vineyards. The region has
been recognized this year as the best growing region in California. It
is not surprising since Lions Peak has been awarded some of the
highest acclaims for their wines from their 40 plus years estate
Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Also, from the estates of other Paso
Robles and Central Coast estates noteworthy vineyards, Lions Peak
has received extensive accolades.
Drawing experience from her travels to many of the great wine
regions around the world, Arant was also mentored by Robert
Lawrence Balzer (35-year food and wine critic for the L.A. Times),
and attended UC Davis and Cal Poly; the result is a portfolio of wines
with unusual depth, range and character. As winemaker and owner
of Lions Peak, Arant also extended her love of fine wines to the
creation of an international wine shop and tasting salon in Cambria.
As a result of her passion for fine wines, she became a certified
Sommelier.
Originally a professional interior designer, Arant translated her

Deep Sea is the product of passion for which the Conway

family has for the ocean and wine. The Conway Family owns
the beautiful and historic Rancho Arroyo Grande, in the Edna
Valley wine region, just 13 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. From
this place, inspiration came to produce a variety of wines each
speaking of their origins.The Conway familys wines can be
tasted at their Santa Barbara tasting room, located on Stearns
Warf. The tasting room offerings include the Deep Sea label
featuring wines made from the estate vineyard, as well as other
coastal vineyards. This brand appeals to the modern wine
drinker, and reflects the true passion of the Conways, the
ocean and wine. Also available are wines from the Conway
label, which are region specific, celebrating varieties best suited
for their respective appellations. These bottlings include
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Chardonnay from Santa
Barbara and Pinot Noir from Santa Rita Hills. This is an elevated
brand produced from, outstanding lots, resulting in wines of
excellent quality, character and ageability, explains Gillian
Conway. The Deep Sea tasting room has an experience for every
type of wine taster. First of all, taking in the view of the Pacific
Ocean while drinking Central Coast wine is unbeatable! The
wine menus consist of different tasting options, including,
White Only, Red Only and mixed flights. Deep Sea also
offers wine by the glass or bottle with reasonable pricing.
The hours are 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. daily. The tasting room is
also available to rent out for private parties of up to 49 guests.

Another popular tasting experience that can be part of a tour or a

Walk Around is a Barrel Tasting.
Your guide takes a wine thief, a
special siphon placed into a hole in
the top of a barrel to extract tasting
samples of a maturing wine. The
sample allows you to taste what the
wine is like in the middle of developing its full potential.
Why make an appointment?
A Walk Around Tasting is a

combination of a tour and a tasting.
Your host brings along several
bottles of wine on your tour, and
may take you to a garden area of
the winery to pour the first round.
Then you move to another place
within the winery to sample the
next wine. This experience
continues until all the wines are
tasted.
Barrel Tasting
A Sit Down Tasting usually

requires an appointment, and there
may be a slightly higher fee than a
wine bar fee. Seated in an elegant
room, you are poured several wines
by your winery host. Expect your
host to describe the unique characteristics of each wine and how it
was made.
The most common tasting experience is a Wine Bar Tasting. You

step up to the bar where typically a
list of wines being poured is
displayed. Expect to pay a tasting
fee between $10-$40. Some tasting
bars will offer you the option to
taste a library or reserve wine.
Exercising this option increases the
fee, but will allow you to taste very
unique, old or rare wines.

Some wineries are so small that

they need to know when you are
coming so someone will be there
to greet you. Others have sit-down
tastings that start and end at
specific times. Its always a good
idea to schedule your appointments well in advance.
