Do not be intimidated for
any reason. That is rule number
one (and there are very few real
rules after that). For the most
part, going wine tasting is aboutthe easiest thing in the world,
especially here in California
where wineries and tasting
rooms abound. You can find
wineries specializing in red
wines of all types, those that are
famous for their white wines
and others who pour sparkling wine. It is a matter of
doing a little research and planning your day. Most tasting
rooms open around 10 a.m. and close between 4:30 and6 p.m.
Before you start off pack a few essentials:Water
(plenty of water) and something to snack on crackers or
a baguette. Many wineries have picnic areas and there are
plenty of delis and bakeries that can make up a lunch for
you, or make your own. Which brings us to eating and
drinking, the kind that doesnt directly involve wine.Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you
make time for lunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as
much water as you do wine, and remember that youdont have to drink everything poured into your glass.
There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and a
pitcher of water to wash out your glass.
That said, here are some tips that have proven to be
helpful and are designed to help make the sensory
adventure of wine tasting all the more enjoyable.Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again
I have heard knowledgeable winery workers say that
there is no such thing as a stupid question, and they
mean that.
You can drink what you want, in the order you want.
If you only like reds, say so; if you dont like sweet wines,
speak up. But the idea of starting with whites, then going
on to reds and then sweet wines is a good guide.
Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it never
hurts to remind everyone.If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is
not on the list, ask. There might be a bottle around that
was opened for a trade tasting or by the winemaker. Most
tasting rooms are happy to pour a little if you show
enthusiasm.If you plan to take wine home with you, either in the
car or on a plane, buy a
cardboard box with Styrofoam
wine inserts. Fill it during the
day and this keeps wine from
rolling around in the trunk.Check out the smaller
wineries. It is a revelation.
Take notes on the wines you
most enjoyed.
Take advantage of tours
when the winery offers them, but
keep in mind that they take
anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour, so one a
day is plenty.
Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. Theseoften include smaller (375 ml) bottles of limited
production Ports or dessert wines. Dont buy a wine you
can get at a supermarket back home. Youll pay more, and
besides, whats the point?Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are
cooperative tasting rooms, where in one place you might
find wines from a dozen or more small-to-medium
premium producers. They are scattered throughout the
area and more are opening all the time.
Dont give too much thought to ratings and vintages.Its like art: if you like it, its a good wine. It is as simple as
that.Remember that you dont have to do the driving. It
takes no more than a phone call to rent anything from a
Town Car or restored classic convertible to stretch limos
and a 20-passenger bus. All have drivers that will stow
your wine for you and the local companies know the
area. As to taking that wine home, ten people sharing one
of those impossibly long limousines is fine and fun, but if
you all plan to buy a couple of cases the trunk which is
no bigger than a normal luxury cars is going to fill up
fast and youre going to find yourself filling the interior
floor with boxes and using cases of Cabernet as footrest.
Tell the transportation company what you have in
mind and listen to their advice. They know the territory
and the people and personalities.Know your limits. If you get close to it let others taste
and you can listen. It beats ending the day in a blur, and
if need be calling a taxi is cheaper than the alternative.And if at a seated tasting, dont be afraid to leave a
gratuity. Its more than worth the five or ten dollars to getwisdom and wine and a great time. BY CHARLES NEAVE

Robert Hall WineryThe Essence of Paso Robles The winerys owner, Robert Hall, had many years of
experience in the hospitality sector prior to acquiring the Hall
Ranch in Paso Robles. After planting his vineyards he put all his
energy and knowledge to work to create a winery and hospitality
center that would welcome guests. The smallest of details can
make a huge difference when it comes to entertaining. I wanted
to create a warm and beautiful place in Paso Robles that people
would visit time and time again.
The tasting experience at Robert Hall may be customized to
fit the guests desires. Up to five wines may be selected from
either the standard tasting or for a slightly higher fee from the
reserve tasting lists. Each month the winery features a Wine of
the Month with special pricing and a recipe card. With so many
wines there is something for every palate on the list and the
knowledgeable tasting room staff is delighted to help make thetasting experience a memorable one.
For guests who want to linger there are plenty of things to do
at Robert Hall. Every day the winery offers a guided, educational
tour of the large caverns, winery and hospitality center. The tour
is included with the tasting fee and is a great way to learn more
about how the wines are made. Everything from the vineyard to
the bottle is discussed with a barrel tasting offered in the caverns.
The tour lasts approximately 30 minutes. By Lisa pretty

pomar JunctionPomar Junction Vineyard & Winery is a family run wineryfeaturing wines from their estate vineyard. The vineyard andtasting room are located at the junction of El Pomar Drive and
South El Pomar Road, in the El Pomar District of Paso Robles.
The rustic, country tasting room, surrounded by the well-
cared-for vines, takes you back in time. The welcoming picnic
area beckons with colorful flowers and trees. It is easy to see
why, generation after generation, the family has stayed in the
area.
The Merrill Familys agricultural heritage and grape-growing
history dates back at least eight generations on Californias
Central Coast. After nearly 30 years of growing grapes for many
of the finest wineries in California, ranging from ultra premium
small producers to the largest international brands, the Merrills
decided to produce their own wines. Today, Dana and Marsha
Merrill and son, Matthew farm the vineyards, while Matthews
winemaking is complemented by winemaker, Jim Shumate.
In addition to harvesting fruit from the family vineyards,
blocks of grapes from Santa Barbara and Monterey counties
are selected from vineyards managed by a sister firm, Mesa
Vineyard Management, Inc. All wines produced are exclusively
farmed by the Merrills who believe that control from planting
and pruning through harvest, fermentation and cellaring is
critical for success. Taste through the offering with their
friendly staff to experience the familys commitment to
producing high-quality wines. By Lisa pretty

Hearthstone Vineyard & WineryHearthstone Vineyard & Winery is situated on a beautiful40-acre property on the west side of Paso Robles. Cal Poly
Alumni, and seasoned horticulturalist, Hoy Buell dreamt of
developing a vineyard and winery in this location for many
years. Finally, in 1999, Hoy began to plant his uniquely diverse
and ever evolving vineyard. With 18 grape varieties and up to
seven clones per variety, the Hearthstone vineyard offers an
array of quality fruit to choose from for the winerys Estate
wines.
Winemaker, Paul Ayers, takes great care in producing
beautiful and complex wines from the Hearthstone vineyard.
Grapes are hand picked from the vineyard and processed in
small lots at the winery. Paul keeps a close eye on the wines as
they age until they are ready for blending, for which
Hearthstone is renowned. One blend is particularly notable.
The 2009 Lodestone recently received a gold medal from the
2013 San Francisco Chronicle wine competition. Lodestone is a
unique blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. AlthoughHearthstone wines are made of grapes originating from around
the world, they are surprisingly balanced with expected layered
complexity.
Hearthstone wines can be sampled at their tasting room
conveniently located on Vineyard Drive. The tasting room
features an outdoor patio available for guests to enjoy samples
of Hearthstone wines alongside a picnic.
Expansive views of majestic oaks and the beautiful west side
of Paso Robles can be enjoyed from the patio.

Chateau MargeneWhen discussing Cabernet Sauvignon in Paso Robles, ChateauMargene is often the first producer a local wine connoisseur
recommends. Since 1997, Michael Mooney and his family have
carefully crafted luxury Bordeaux blends and varietal specific
Cabernet Sauvignon. As with most winemakers, Michael credits
much of his outstanding vintages to his estate vineyard, which is
located in Creston in the eastern portion of the Templeton Gap.
The grapes are thoughtfully grown in the most sustainable practicesavailable, and then picked carefully lot by lot in amounts of one
and a half tons per acre. The wine is then aged for 32 months in
100% French oak, such patience the Mooneys have! And it pays
off, these outstanding Bordeaux style wines sell out almost
immediately upon release. In addition to the original Chateau
Margene label, the Mooney Family label was started in 2006 with a
focus on Pinot Noirs from Monterey County and Rhne blends
from Paso Robles. The grapes for the Pinot Noirs are sourced from
two SIP certified vineyards in the famed Santa Lucia Highlands.Enjoy Chateau Margene and Family Wines on the Westside of Paso

dentist and financial advisor. They say theyre content to be part-time
wine producers. This way, says Michael, were not on a treadmill
where we have to keep production quotas to make ends meet. We can
take our time and do our very best for the wine.
The Gills planted vines in Paso Robles fifteen years ago, selling fruitto some of the areas most respected winemakers until 2008, when they
decided to make their own wines. With the opening of the tasting
room in 2012, theyve happily had their hands full, with Michael in the

Visitors to the tasting room will find a complement of Rhne,
Spanish and Italian-varietal wines, including a Syrah fabled to be the
darkest in the county, a spicy, floral Viognier and a Tempranillo that
Michael claims is taking people by storm. In the near future, the Gills
also hope to offer small lots of varietal Counoise, Zinfandel, Primitivo
and Tannat.

Brown realized their dream of finding a place to
express their passion for wine in 2000, when they
established Calcareous Vineyards on one of the
highest limestone plateaus on Paso Robles west side.
Both Lloyd and Dana, experienced wine distributorsin their native Iowa, recognized that the west side of
Paso Robles had potential to produce world-class
wines.
Their acquisition of 442 acres atop solid
calcareous rock reaching 1,800 feet above sea level
confirmed their dedication to producing the highest
quality, terroir-driven wines possible. It is a labor of
love to cultivate fruit on this challenging land, butthe reward is immediately apparent when tasting the
wines. Calcareous has, for over a decade now,
produced a collection of world-class blends and
varietal wines that exhibit Paso Robles claim to being
distinct, different.
Lloyd passed on in 2006, and Dana advances
their vision with the help of her sister, Erika.

at affordable prices so you can enjoy them with friends and
family daily. The focus on quality begins in their vineyards with
low yields to produce intense flavors. All the fruit is harvested
and immediately sorted and processed at the estate winery while
the fruit is still cold and fresh. Within the winery the wines are
processed and aged to bring out the best the varietal has to offer.
By the time it is released the wine is ready to be consumed.
Tom and Kathleen invite you to visit them at Pear Valley,
since after all, everything in life is better when shared. As you
pull into the parking lot you will be greeted with spectacular
views of the vineyards. The short walk to the tasting room takes
you through a courtyard tastefully decorated with flowers, water
features, statues and a large picnic area.
Be sure to become a Distraction Club member and receive
three shipments of two bottles per year along with a 30%
discount on all wine and merchandise.
With the excellent value wines, the welcoming atmosphere
and the friendly staff, once you visit you will keep coming back
time and time again. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the beauty
of Pear Valley. By Lisa pretty

pomar JunctionPomar Junction Vineyard & Winery is a family run wineryfeaturing wines from their estate vineyard. The vineyard andtasting room are located at the junction of El Pomar Drive and
South El Pomar Road, in the El Pomar District of Paso Robles.
The rustic, country tasting room, surrounded by the well-
cared-for vines, takes you back in time. The welcoming picnic
area beckons with colorful flowers and trees. It is easy to see
why, generation after generation, the family has stayed in the
area.
The Merrill Familys agricultural heritage and grape-growing
history dates back at least eight generations on Californias
Central Coast. After nearly 30 years of growing grapes for many
of the finest wineries in California, ranging from ultra premium
small producers to the largest international brands, the Merrills
decided to produce their own wines. Today, Dana and Marsha
Merrill and son, Matthew farm the vineyards, while Matthews
winemaking is complemented by winemaker, Jim Shumate.
In addition to harvesting fruit from the family vineyards,
blocks of grapes from Santa Barbara and Monterey counties
are selected from vineyards managed by a sister firm, Mesa
Vineyard Management, Inc. All wines produced are exclusively
farmed by the Merrills who believe that control from planting
and pruning through harvest, fermentation and cellaring is
critical for success. Taste through the offering with their
friendly staff to experience the familys commitment to
producing high-quality wines. By Lisa pretty

Talley VineyardsTalley Vineyards may be celebrating 26 years in business,but they are still younger than Talley Farms, started in the
1940s. Though the farm is an integral part of the family-run
business, producing specialty and organic vegetables, its wine
that has taken centerstage.
Today, Talley has four estate vineyards in the Arroyo
Grande and Edna Valleys. Their Mediterranean-styled tasting
room rests in the middle of their Rincon Vineyard in ArroyoGrande, where cropland surrounds the vines. The
comfortable tasting room has floor to ceiling windows, a
horseshoe tasting bar and vaulted ceilings. The expansive
property also features three diverse picnic areas offering
beautiful views of the serene landscape.
Talley has always strived for a personal approach to the
wine tasting experience, therefore they offer a variety of
special tours and tastings. These tours are fun and
informative and can be customized to the size and interests of
any group. Guests are educated about what happens in all
aspects of the winemaking process and can focus on the
winery, vineyards and barrel room.
Talley is open daily for tasting of their Talley Vineyards
and Bishops Peak wines. Visit Talley Vineyards today and
experience all the unique and special offerings of almost three
decades in the Arroyo Grande Valley.
