Opened the first bottle of #pasorobleswine tonight paired with a simple soup and bread dinner. This #castorocellars chard elevated it to something special. #castorocellarswinery was my very first when visiting California many long moons ago and it has remained a favorite. @dracaenawines is hosting our #winepw visit to #pasowine this month. Join us for Twitter chat at 11am ET on Saturday, November 13. Join us by following #winepw and #pasowine. It’s going to be a blast https://www.instagram.com/p/CVq1_j4Pf7j/?utm_medium=tumblr

Are you a fan of GSM wines? And have you noticed the trend recently of winemakers playing around with the three varietals? We enjoyed a luscious Alta Colina “Sun Worshipper” blend. Not GSM - but MGS. Driven by the “M” - Mourvèdre - the wine is deeper and darker than GSM, and richer I think. If you haven’t had this wine, fix that! Also, it’s one of the better tasting experiences in Paso so I also recommend that. ————————————————————- #pasorobles #pasorobleswinecountry #pasorobleswine #pasowine #altacolina #altacolinawinery #mouvedre #syrah #grenache #redwineblend #wine #winelover #winetime #wineoclock #wineo #instawine #winestagram (at Mom´S Beach, Forestville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKgg1_rIti/?igshid=gn90d60kb4sh

Regular readers about our affinity for Croatian wine and, occasionally, American wines made by Croatians (eg, Grgich Hills). We had a terrific Paso Robles wine made by a Croatian-American family in the Central Valley - 2018 Tlo Winery “Visko” red blend. A unique combination to say the least: 57% Syrah, 22% Malbec, and 21% Tempranillo. A deep purple color, exploding aromatics, and dynamite on the palate. You get the savory spice of the Syrah but the floral of the Malbec and the Temp adds fruity richness. —————————————————————- This wine was a gift from a proud Croatian and one of our customers - thanks Nick Buratovich! Nick bet me the Dodgers would choke and lose the World Series. He had to pay off with this beautiful wine. ————————————————————- #pasorobles #pasorobleswinecountry #pasorobleswine #pasowine #redblend #redwine #redwinelover #winetasting #winetravel #croatianwine #instawine #winestagram #vino (at Russian River, Sonoma California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJ-vD4L7tG/?igshid=197yso0u40u3e

It’s #winewednesday!!!! One of my FAVORITE wine areas is Paso Robles, California. This is one of the lesser known wine regions in California but it can definitely hold its own! The first grapes were introduced to the region in 1797. Present day it contains over 200 wineries and produces a ton of award winning wine. . . A few of my favorite Paso wineries include: @ambythestate @halterranch @hearstranchwinery @opolowines @redsoleswinery @sculpterra @tablascreek @tobinjamescellars @villacreekcellars . . #pasorobles #pasorobleswine #pasorobleswinecountry #pasorobleswineries #sanlouisobispo #pasowine #californialiving #californiacity #socalblogger #socaltravel #winetasting #wineloversofinstagram #wineoftheday #wineofinstagram #californiawine #travelingteacher #teacherlife #teacherstyle #teachertribe #teacherlove #globelletravel #girlmeetsglobe #darlingescapes #sheisnotlost #wearetravelgirls #ladiesgoneglobal #femaletravelcommunity #travelgirls #girltribe (at Paso Robles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg-gSwg82Z/?igshid=1pbspfgvh8ehz

This weekend I got the opportunity to visit the Sensorio: Field of Light Exhibit in Paso Robles, California. This art display by Bruce Munro opened in 2019. It contains over 58,000 fiber-optic stemmed solar powered spheres. Ken and Bobbi Hunter, the owners of the Sensorio property, saw Bruce Munro’s artwork at an exhibit in Uluru, Australia while on vacation. They thought an art display by him would be a spectacular addition to the Paso Robles area. Although only open through January 3, 2021, it is possible it may be extended longer. This fully outdoor experience offers all guests the chance to experience great art while social distancing. Paso Robles also makes for a great weekend getaway! . .

Stiill on lockdown and still dreaming of Paso Robles, California. This is the quaint winery is Paix Sur Terre Wines. Mourvedre is the favorite wine varietal of the owners of the winery, Ryan and Nicole Pease. So when they decided to start making wine, naturally, Ryan and Nicole started with the varietal they love. Additionally, Paix Sur Terre produces small lots of Syrah, Grenache, and Mediterranean-style whites from carefully selected vineyards on the west side of Paso Robles. We really like the name of this winery. The name Paix Sur Terre is French for Peace on Earth. The Pease’s have created their little spot of peace on earth. What makes this winery distinctive is they are focusing on unique varietals not found anywhere else in Paso Robles. For now. We have to be satisfied with dreaming of travel. @parkersanpei @solterrastrategies @paixsurterrewines #pasorobles #pasorobleswine #centralcoastwine #californiaroadtrip #usaroadtrip #roadtrippin #travelwithus #winetravel #winetraveler #wineaholic #winewinewine #winecountry #wineenthusiast #retireealyandtravel #retireearly #earlyretirement #lovewine #wineries #traveldreams #californiadreaming #californiadreamin #lovecalifornia #californiatrip #visitcalifornia #winelovers🍷 #traveldreams #travelgrams #californiasunshine #vineyards #experiences #tastingroom (at Paix Sur Terre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIeLMAD10a/?igshid=1td8qi6upfgly
