Its impossible to say Midlife Crisis Winery

without smiling a little bit. Most of us at

some point have daydreamed about

chucking it all and pursuing our passion.

Actually, Kevin and Jill Mittan didnt chuck

it all. Theyve still got their day jobs. They

have, however, successfully pursued their

passion of making wine.

A typical weekend begins with the couples

two Australian Shepherds, Roo and Sydney,

jumping into the back of Jills Subaru Forrester

and the foursome makes the 3-1/2-hour drive

from the San Fernando Valley to Paso Robles.

Often, Jill will be pouring Midlife Crisis wines

at a tasting event, while Kevin is tending to

business in Paso Robles. Or vice-versa.A booming real estate market in 2004 trig-

gered a whirlwind three months during which

the Mittans transformed their winemaking

hobby in the garage of their suburban Los

Angeles home into a Paso Robles winery. In the

space of about 90 days, the couple sold their

home, found a smaller residence in the L.A.

area, found 22 acres in Paso Robles and

became a bonded winery.

By September 2004, the Midlife Crisis

Winery had its first crush and, as the Mittans

say on their fun website, second thoughts

were not an option anymore!

If we stopped to take a breath during that

time, Kevin Mittan reflected recently, I dont

know what we wouldve done.

Both Kevin and Jill work in the post-

production world of the entertainment

industry definitely in the background,

says Kevin and neither saw themselves

working the same jobs for the next 30 years. If

not a full-fledged mid-life crisis, Kevin said

they asked themselves, What do we want to

do with the rest of our lives?

Both of us knew we really wanted to do

something in retirement.

As home winemakers, the couple devel-

oped an unmistakable knack for producingquality wine. Those garage wines earned more

than 60 regional and international awards,

including a gold medal at the Mid-State Fair.

Much of the fruit they used was sourced from

the Paso Robles area, so they looked to this

region when they decided to start a winery.

Weve always liked the wines from up

here, said Kevin, sitting in the Midlife Crisis

tasting room in downtown Paso Robles, less

than a block from the citys park. Theres so

much really good, quality fruit in the Pas

Robles area.

The winery continues to use Paso Robl

grapes exclusively in for all their varieta

which range from Zinfandel, Syra

Sangiovese, Merlot and Barbera to Pinot Grig

and Chardonnay.

So, about the name?

Mittan credits his brother-in-law. Th

couples homemade wine was bottled under

label bearing the name Vanalden the stre

where they lived at the time. That was ou

They also ruled out any permutations of the

own names.

Chateau This or Villa That didnt appe

to them, either.

In the midst of their decision-making, Jil

brother sent an email saying essentially youre going through a mid-life crisis wouldn

sports cars have been cheaper.

The idea stuck.

Its certainly memorable, but the whimsic

name doesnt mean the Mittans arent seriou

about winemaking.

We knew wed have to prove ourselv

because of the funny name of the winery, sa

Kevin.

Prove themselves they have, with Midli

Crisis wines winning multiple honors and perhaps more importantly

selling briskly.The 2004 vintage the winerys first is sold out.

Like most good winemakers, the Mittans know its impossible to

produce quality wine using inferior fruit. They seek out proven vine-

yards to ensure top-notch grapes.

What we really try to do is let the wine make itself as much as

possible.

That said, Kevin Mittan believes in making fruit-forward wines that

are drinkable earlier. He tells the story of a person who insisted that one

of Mid-Lifes 2004 wines was a 2002 vintage. Of course, Midlife Crisis

didnt get bonded until 2004.

Midlife Crisis features a robust blend bottled under the label Roo

Boy Red made with Petite Sirah, Merlot and Tempranillo.

When people try it theyre pretty blown away, Mittan said of the

wine, which is named for one of the Mittans two Australian Shepherds.

On the other end of the spectrum is a Pinot Grigio, which Mittan

said he makes in a fashion that surprises most tasters with a creamy,

vanilla coconut finish, while retaining the crispness typical of the vari-

etal.

The Mittans jump-started the winery in 2004, producing 800 cases.

That number grew to 1,500 with the 2005 vintage and 2,200 in 2006.

Were trying to get to 5,000 cases as soon as we can, said Kevin.

They want to remain hands-on winemakers.

The winerys spacious tasting room is in the midst of Paso Roblesresurgent downtown, with a number of well-reviewed restaurants

within easy strolling distance. The city park which hosts, among

other events, the annual Paso Robles Wine Festival is usually busy on

The tasting room is at 1244 Pine Street, Suite A, and is open every

Thursday to Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can get more infor-

Like a sibling in a family full of high

achievers, the Sauvignon Blanc being

produced by Baileyana Winery needed to

carve out its own identity. That, in a

nutshell, is what inspired third-generation

Edna Valley grape-growing pioneers John

Niven and Michael Blaney to create

tangent.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is fabulous, said

Niven, the grandson of Jack and Catharine

Niven, among the first to plant wine

grapes in the Edna Valley more than 30

years ago. But, he said, it sort of was the

red-headed step-child among the

Baileyana lineup.

We were so passionate about the wine,

we felt that it needed to be its own star.

Such is the stuff of inspiration.

With Sauvignon Blanc as the flagship

carrying the banner proclaiming life

beyond Chardonnay, Niven, Blaney and

winemaker Christian Roguenant created

tangent, producing nothing but alternative

white varietals bottled under screwcap to

showcase the eight-mile-long Edna Valleys

cool climate and unique soils.

It takes unoakened Chardonnay to a

whole next level, said Niven.

Not that Niven has anything against

Chardonnay. On the contrary, Chardonnay

has been Baileyanas focus since Nivens

grandmother, Catharine Niven, planted a

3.5-acre vineyard in her front yard and

founded the winery. And Chardonnay

remains an integral part of the winerys

identity.

Indeed, Baileyana and tangent co-exist

as separate, but equal brands under one

roof, each highly focused with its own

unique identity.

The two wineries represent an evolu-

tion as we take our wine making efforts to

the next level, said Niven.

At Baileyana, the focus is on Gra

Firepeak Cuvee: ultra-premium esta

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah fro

the winerys Firepeak Vineyard. The vin

yard is nestled against Islay Mountain, th

last in a chain of seven extinct volcanoes

Edna Valley, said Niven.

tangent, as its name suggests, is a depa

ture from Baileyanas enduring, classic

wines. Sleek and sophisticated, tangen

modern approach to grapegrowing an

winemaking complements the Baileyan

brand. The stylistic differences a

embodied in the respective labels, wi

Baileyanas Grand Firepeak Cuvee evokin

an oaky warmth, while the tange

bottlings are crisp, clean and fresh.

What both have in common, s

Niven, is the tradition of Niven fami

wines that over-deliver for the price. The trio of Grand Firepeak

Cuvee offerings are among the best values on the market for estate

wines from a designated vineyard.

The decision to launch tangent came in 2005. At the time,

Baileyana was producing nine different wines under its label.

That didnt really send a clear message of what this winery is

all about, summed up Niven. The family hired Roguenant, who

enthusiastically embraced the tangent concept and oversaw

construction of the winerys state-of-the-art production facility. It

is especially geared to the production of world-class Pinot Noir (a

wine demanding delicate handling) and Syrah.

Niven pointed out that local wine lovers devoted to Baileyanas

Edna Valley Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and there are

legions will still be able to find it throughout San Luis Obispo

County. The Grand Firepeak Cuvee wines are intended for distri-

bution on a statewide national, and international scale.

The Baileyana and tangent tasting room is located at the

restored historic one-room Independence Schoolhouse built in

1909 at 5828 Orcutt Road in San Luis Obispo. Visit the website

Balance is an integral concept in Gianni

Manuccis life, influencing everything

from architectural style and his

sculpting to the importance he places on

family and friends and, finally, to his wine-making.

Wild Coyote Winery is a testament to

Manuccis creative balance, providing visitors

with a mystical retreat echoing an ancient

Southwestern adobe village. Its a slice of

New Mexico on a hillside west of Paso

Robles, complete with panoramic views and

a secluded courtyard where bed-and-break-

fast guests can relax under a star-studded sky.

The authentic feel of Wild Coyotes south-

western style is no accident. Much of the

material used in the construction of the

tasting room and the five casitas that make up

the bed-and-breakfast were brought from

New Mexico. That includes the beams and

pillars that command attention.

Manucci thought he would retire to Taos,

New Mexico, but he dreamed of starting a

winery and, well, New Mexico isnt noted for

its grape-growing regions.

The adobe-style architecture is accented

on the interior mainly with original Native

American art Manucci has collected. One of

Manuccis own stone sculptures, called Spir-

itual Chief, sits near the tasting bar.

Compact discs featuring Native American

music are also displayed for sale, along with

some whimsical wine caddies forged from

metal and a handful of other items. There is

no gift shop feel, though, something

Manucci wanted to shy away from.

We did not want to have a gift shop envi-

ronment because it takes away from the

family-style here, he said. We want an

atmosphere where visitors can enjoy wine

and good conversation, we dont just want to

sell a bunch of stuff.

Wild Coyote is truly an estate wine

where Manucci and his wife, Kati, are respo

sible for the wine from planting to bottlin

Only grapes grown on the 15 acres of vin

yards Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel a

used in making the wine. Besides those threvarietals, Wild Coyote also offers a blen

called House of Reds the winerys nic

name a Ros and a Zinfandel Port.

Manucci believes in crafting robust red

leaving them in oak until theyre what h

considers ready at least 18 months, an

often more than two years. Besides som

training at UC Davis, Manucci describ

himself as a self-taught winemaker.

He is passionate about farming an

making wine.The reason I got into the business is

enjoy being a farmer and grow grapes, sa

Manucci. My philosophy is, If you don

grow the grapes, you shouldnt make th

wine.

3775 Adelaida Road in Paso Robles and

open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For mo

Highway 46 West through Paso Robles is

a dream, as John Steinbeck might have

said. It winds across the Templeton

Gap punctuated by lush vineyards and

mighty oak trees on hillsides that seem to go

on forever. The wine thats grown here is

special, too and not just because of the

scenery, but because of the families that call

this place home. Joe Bartons Grey Wolf

Cellars is a testament to the gap as home.

The Grey Wolf tasting room is unas-

suming, at best, from the outside. Sitting atop

a smallish driveway entrance, an old farm-

house looks to the south. Joe has been in the

process of sprucing up the place a little,

adding on a new beautiful concrete patio toreplace the weather worn and outdated

wooden deck. More good reviews means

more customers and more customers need

more space. Grey Wolf, while still a small

boutique winery, is making world-class wine

in a place that feels very much like that Barton

family living room.

Inside, dark wooden floors creak beauti-

fully as you head to the bar that sits astride

the kitchen and the living room. Barton

family portraits and Grey Wolf memorabilia

adorn the space and a friendly, helpful

pouring staff sees to it that the customers

dont go thirsty.After the death of his father, it fell to Joe to

keep Grey Wolf going and he has succeeded

beyond, perhaps, his own expectations. The

tasting room, literally a beautiful wooden bar

in a living room of an old farmhouse, is the

place to taste Grey Wolfs amazing Zinfandels

and Syrahs as well as the table red wine that

keeps winning awards, a blend that Joe does

himself at his own whim.

Like any boutique winery, the heart of

Grey Wolf is the wine club. In joining t

pack, wine lovers get to indulge in a

number of Bartons creations over the cou

of a year. The wine club assures fans of t

wine that they will get to taste just abo

everything they want to before it sells outhough Barton has upped production a b

over the past year to ensure that he is able

keep a thirsty pack well quaffed.

But the real success of small wineries

exactly that; Grey Wolfs small and manag

able size helps Barton keep his hand in

levels of wine-making and so, every bottle h

the indelible stamp of its maker on it. T

Thirteen years ago, when Bruce

and Sheila Hansen first planted their

land in Templeton with wine grapes ,

they had a vision of a small boutique

winery, offering ultra-premium hand-

made wines, lovingly produced in

small lots. Today, that vision has

come true and visitors from all over

the world have discovered this

unique and thoroughly friendly

family-owned and operated winery.

This is the type of winery where

you can actually get first-hand infor-

mation about the wines directly from the owner/winemaker. Bruce, a

former general contractor built the tasting room himself anddesigned it to be a warm and welcoming place where people could

enjoy his award-winning wines and not feel as though they were just

one of a crowd. He delights in showing visitors around the rustic

redwood bat-and-board tasting room that was just completed three

years ago. The building is surrounded by a charming picnic area,

perfect for relaxing between tasting stops or enjoying a leisurely

lunch on a sunny Central Coast day.

Bruce and Sheila love pouring their fabulous Zinfandel, Cabern

Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Malbec for visitors, as well a

their new Viognier. Hansen wines have won several awards lately an

they are justly proud of their product. I made wine with my da

when I was a kid. I love the creativity involved with the process an

of course, I love the wine! says Bruce.

The tasting room is open weekends from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m

and is located at 5575 El Pomar Drive in Templeton. For more info

Cellar Door has announced the launch of Hayman & Hill Inter-

change, a new white blend from Santa Barbara County. Interchange

represents the natural flow between natures elements and the art of

winemaking. The 2006 Interchange features a blend of aromatic white

varietals from Santa Barbara Countys diverse landscape, and is the

latest in Hayman & Hills venture to create single-appellation wines

produced from Californias top winegrowing regions.

Interchange symbolizes many things, said Rebecca Stead,

Marketing Manager for Cellar Door wines. It is the winemakers

careful hand over the winemaking journey; the cooling flow of mild

coastal breezes through hillside vineyards; the subtle hint of pineapple

aromas in the glass from distinct parcels of land. Interchange discovers

whats new on the horizon, which in this case, is the magnificent Santa

Barbara County.

Our aim is to produce wines that are authentic expressions of

their varietal type from the appellations we love best, said DavidHayman, Hayman & Hill Winemaker. They hit a sweet spot at

$13.99 and deliver top quality. For Interchange, we traveled off the

beaten track, and found just what we were looking for in the diverse

terrain of Santa Barbara County. We set our sights on a white blend

that packs a punch of intense fruit with effortless balance and

finesse. A lick of oak and careful barrel fermentation delivers a

distinctly rich, yet refreshing palette.

Expressive of its appellation, Interchange is a luscious, rich blen

of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Malvasia Bianca, Semillo

and Gewrztraminer grapes. This latest addition to Hayman & Hil

appellation-specific line-up has a bright floral nose and a lusciou

tropical palate with bright acidity.

Interchange will be distributed nationally with a suggested reta

price of $13.99. The Hayman & Hill winemaking philosophy

simply to seek out the finest quality grapes where they grow best.
