Winery trip Friday afternoon
WillH
teh wineries in the Paso Robles area before heading up to the
campsite. We can perhaps work lunch in there too. Would there be any
interest in doing this?
Ted
Thursday evening again, as it was nice to have a relaxing day in camp
on Friday. There's also a wine tasting event in Santa Maria on that
Sunday that I might go to. (ABC/Qupe Open House. $15 for 40+ wines
and lunch)

recommend:
"In addition to Tobin James, our favorites are Zenaida, especially
their syrah and a blend called Zephyr. Sometimes, their zin is OK
too. And Zin Alley. Zinfandel only, but usually very strong spice
character. You will need to call for an appointment.
Stacked Stone we have only been to once, but will visit again. Wines
to drink young. Also very interesting people.
Linne Calodo and Aventure are expensive (tasting fee) but worth a
tasting fee if you just want to try some really good wine. We don;t
buy much, too expensive.
You might also visit Midnight Cellars. We were not impressed when we
visited, but I had some of their wine - forgotten what - at a tasting
and thought it pretty good."
Any of those sound good?
cheers,
Nancy

Once the flyer is up for the event we'll send it out, too, but the short form is:

some of the people involved are coming down from SF, and Friday
Afternoon in the Paso Robles area might work better for them.
Of course, they're welcome to come to ABC, but it's sort of a different
thing than a quick trip up to Paso on Friday.

it adds an extra two hours of driving to those of us coming down from
SF.

So here's a solid proposal from the southbound:
Midnight Cellars
Zenaida
Linne Calodo
Are all very close to highway 46, right on the way to the coast from
anyone coming up or down 5. Plan to meet at the first of them at
1:30pm (with the option of some sort of nice lunch in Paso
beforehand?) and taste our way through the three before hitting the
coast.
