WINE COUNTRY THIS MONTH

The oldest profession in California is not what you think: it’s most

probably cattle ranching. And the partners of Alta Maria Vineyards,

Paul Wilkins and James Ontiveros, have a long history in the ranches

and farmlands of this part of California.

The Ontiveros family first came into California in 1781 with the

Rivera expedition. Although their original land grants were in

Southern California, they drove thousands of heads of cattle into the

Santa Mara Valley, finally settling there on the Rancho Tepusquet Land

Grant of 1837.

Today, much of the duo’s grapes come from that very same land. As

a couple of kids in college, both studying crop and fruit science at Cal

Poly San Luis Obispo, they bonded over an unlikely interest in

wine. Paul’s family background in farming and James’ history of cattle

ranching put them firmly in position to build on their knowledge of

the land and growing things on the land, to arrive at a new calling:wine production.

For both men, wine grew into obsession and obsession became

career: James as a viticulturist and Paul as a winemaker. Working hard

and making sacrifices was not new to either, and they both became

veterans in their fields, even at a young age. Finally they moved away,

lost touch, and many years passed.

But the land in the Santa Maria Valley had a pull on the two

men; the sense of heritage and nostalgia drew them back

together. As the two friends re-connected on a vineyard on a hill

in that valley, they decided to make the wine that was waiting

for them all along: Alta Maria Vineyards.

The artwork for Alta Maria Vineyards features hand-hewn iron n

used by homesteaders in Santa Maria before the Industrial Revoluintroduced mass-produced, machine-cut nails. Despite its lowly fu

tion, each nail is unique from the next according to the condition

which it was made and the expertise of the craftsman. This craftsm

ship is what Paul and James strive for in all their wines. In additio

the Alta Maria wines, the pair also makes Autonom wine, focusing

Rhone varietals and Native9, which is purely Pinot Noir. The wines

made in small lots with a nod to both Old World sensibilities and N

World stylistic freedom.

With vine-growing and farming in their blood, Alta Maria w

reflect the pair’s shared affinity for all things homespun and honest

the authenticity of the Santa Maria Valley and a gratitude to the genations of California farmers and ranchers before us, farming the v

same land 150 years ago.

All Alta Maria wines can be tasted at the newly opened tasting ro

located on Grand Avenue in Los Olivos. Though Paul and James h

been making and distributing wine for years, they didn’t open a tas

room until late last year, with some fresh offerings on the curr

tasting list. It’s open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 2

Grand Avenue, Suite A, Los Olivos. For more information call (8

686-1144 or go to www.altamaria.com.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS MONTH

by micael Cerin

Costa de Oro is a Spanish term meaning “gold coast” which

pretty much sums up the California Central Coast. But it is also

the name of a winery in Santa Maria. Costa de Oro Winery makes

wine from their aptly named 30-acre Gold Coast Vineyard but

also sources some fruit from places like Paso Robles. The vine-

yard carries on the Burk family farming tradition, and prior to

grapes being planted, they started out growing greenhouse toma-

toes and kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, cilantro, corn, spinach and

what the agricultural region is perhaps best known for – straw-

berries!

Gary Burk is the mind behind the winery, though he came to

wine and winemaking later in life and didn’t have his sights set

on the family farming business at all. After graduating from Cal

Poly-San Luis Obispo with a degree in business, he landed amusic industry job in Los Angeles working as a royalty accoun-

tant for a major record label. His client list was impressive

including Bob Seger, Heart and Ike Turner, but Burk really

wanted to be making music, not counting numbers. So he left

his job and played folk, blues and rock throughout the early

1990s at a variety of well known venues in Los Angeles

including the Palomino and the Whisky-a-Go-Go. But a chance

meeting with iconic winemaker Jim Clendenen changed every-

thing and soon Burk found an equal passion in wine and

returned to the family roots, so to speak, though this time

farming grapes, not strawberries. Burk committed fulltime

winemaking in 2002 and his approach to winemaking sha

similarities with his approach to music. “I go with gut feeli

with wine as much as I would a guitar solo,” he says. “You’ve

to be able to sense when to play softly and when to rip and re

go for it.” Similarly the winery started slowly, building a repu

tion on small lots and solid wines which reflect the Gold Co

they are grown in.

The wines offered at Costa de Oro include award winn

from competitions in San Francisco, Orange County and

Central Coast, not to mention high praise from venerable w

publications like Wine Enthusiast Magazine and Wine Specta

“In the tasting room, we have added wines that are either exc

sive to the wine club or in very small quantities for the bar,” s

Burk. Currently you can find two versions of Chardonnay, f

iterations of Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and Cabernet SauvignHe has grown to about 6,500 cases and also private labels a f

wines for notable restaurants in Hawaii including Roy’s Rest

rants.

The Costa de Oro tasting room, which opened in 2006,

on the site of the Gold Coast strawberry stand where you c

pick up gift items and wine. The views from the glass windo

look directly out to the fertile fields of Santa Maria. The tast

room is comfortable and relaxed with its wood-toned colo

wood beams on the ceiling and comfy chairs to relax in, not

mention plenty of sunlight. The staff is known to be friendly

helpful. Tasting fees are $10, or you can purchase individual

glasses of wine. Either way make certain you get a cheese plate

to go with your wines, which are available from $5 to $12

containing a variety of cheeses. To make matters even better,Costa de Oro offers live music every Friday evening with their

Wine Down Fridays. Each Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m. you’re

likely to hear folk music, blues, acoustic guitar solos or a little

rock from Grammy winning musicians. “My wife and I are musi-

cians as well and music is near and dear to us,” Burk says.

“Music and wine are both universal languages, they speak to

people on an emotional level – no translation necessary.” And

every once in a while, if the vibe is right, Burk and his Strato-

caster will join guests on stage to jam. This is an ideal stop

when traveling on Highway 101 as you pass through Santa

Maria, halfway between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, a

chance to sample wines, enjoy live music and soak up the Gold

Coast.

Of all the wines Gary makes he has a fondness for Pinot Noirs.

“We are very excited about our Pinots,” Gary says. “They are the

best line-up of Pinot we have released to date.” So get your groove

on and check out the exceptional wines of Costa de Oro. The

tasting room is open Saturday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.,

and Friday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. They are located at 1331 S.

Nicholson Ave. in Santa Maria directly off Highway 101. For addi-

tional information, call (805) 922-1468 or www.cdowinery.com.

A short jaunt off the 101 freeway and onto the 1,900-acre property

of Laetitia Winery and you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to

a sprawling French wine estate, but it’s the unparalleled ocean views

that won’t let you forget you’re on California’s Central Coast.

Located in Arroyo Grande, Laetitia Estate Vineyards were originallyplanted in 1982 as Maison Deutz, a label created by French viticultur-

alists who were quick to realize that the growing conditions in Arroyo

Grande were quite comparable to Epernay, France. Nearly 20 years

later Selim Zilkha purchased the winery, and using his background in

wind power and sustainable energy, he moved Laetitia Winery to

become a leader in producing high-quality and award-winning

sustainable wines.

Following Zilkha’s lead, Laetitia Winery became one of the first

wineries to be SIP Certified (Sustainability in Practice) by the Central

Coast Vineyard Team. This certification recognizes their commitment

to economically and environmentally responsible farming and wine-

making practices; a commitment that is put into practice every day bythe Laetitia team. The motto: “The land is ours. The grapes are ours.

The wine is yours,” reminds visitors and wine lovers alike of Laetitia’s

dedication to quality production. Vice President of Vineyard Opera-

tions, Lino Bozzano works hand in hand with father-son winemaking

team Dave and Eric Hickey, who both utilize Old World winemaking

traditions with cutting-edge California crafting to create distinctive

wines from estate grown fruit that articulate an artistic vision from vine

to glass.

“There is tremendous diversity in this small area, from the soils to

the meso-climates,” said Bozzano. “It’s the perfect venue for under-

standing what site means to the wines.”

Using the fruit from Laetitia Vineyards, Eric creates stunning Pi

Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay for the Laetitia labe

well as delicious Bordeaux and Rhône-style blends from Santa Barb

Highlands Vineyard for the NADIA wine label (named for Zilk

daughter). You will also have the opportunity to taste their second

label, Barnwood, with varietal-rich Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, PeSirah and Cabernet Sauvignon created with fruit from their Sa

Barbara Highlands Vineyard in Ventucopa.

“I keep it simple,” said President and Head Winemaker, E

Hickey. “I stay eye-to-eye with Lino because the interplay between

is what determines the wines’ quality. Everything done in the ce

starts with what we do out in the vineyard.”

Yet the sparkling wines are truly outstanding, as Dave Hickey u

the winery’s Coquard grape presses, which are the only two in No

America and are considered the gold standard for winemaking in

Champagne region of France. In this manner Hickey creates Brut

Blancs, Brut de Noirs, Brut Rosé and several other sparkling w

blends in the traditional Méthode Champenoise.From their winemaking methods and wines to the unique loca

of the vineyard and tasting room, Laetitia truly stands out from o

wineries along the Central Coast.

“Laetitia offers a broad range of wines, from Pinot Noir a

Chardonnay to sparkling wines and Rhone blends,” said sales

marketing coordinator, Jackie Ross. “Since our two vineyards are

such different geographical, geological and climatic locations we

able to produce a wide variety of wines, and because we own b

properties we are able to control every aspect of the wine growing

wine making processes.” Choose to taste five of any of this wide ar

Ynez Valley, this rosé will tickle your tongue with its zesty

marriage of citrus and strawberry flavors. This wine was

made specifically for our loyal customers who love such

favorites as the White Cabernet, Muscat Canelli and Tears

of Dew/Late Harvest Moscato. If you prefer a wine that can

stand up to a stout cigar or a piece of rich dark chocolate,

then the new 2008 Zinfandel Port is the perfect match.

Mahogany and fig compote stimulate the senses while you

decide if you want to enjoy the Port now, or age it. Either

way, it will surely make you say, “Mmmm.”

By Allison LeinePaso Robles Inn Steakhouse has been a favorite place for locals and

visitors for more than 50 years, but their history dates even furtherback.

Sitting on top of natural sulfur springs, the El Paso de Robles Hotelwas opened in 1891. Built in the Victorian style, the hotel stood as afortress in the small town of Paso Robles and was the destination of theday. But, the golden era of the El Paso de Robles Hotel and Hot Springscame to an end after a major fire in 1940 burned down everythingexcept the Grand Ballroom.

The Paso Robles Inn was reopened in 1942 as a modern bungalow-style hotel with surrounding gardens. While the inn was rich in Pasohistory, it did not maintain its landmark status until the Martin familybought the property in 1999 and restored it to its original beauty,including the original Grand Ballroom. Despite losing one building inthe 2003 earthquake, the property currently offers 30 deluxe spa hotelrooms and six two-bedroom suites, all with mineral spring tubs in therooms.

With an outdoor patio and fire-pit tables overlooking the gardens,Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse, which was remodeled last fall, is a classicsteakhouse with a modern twist. Offering a diverse menu, the restau-rant has access to great resources, including seafood, produce from theSanta Maria Valley and other artisan products. The chefs regularly go

to the farmers’ market to buy ingredients for the recently revised famfriendly menu which offers more options for the budget-conscivisitor. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, some of the popular diare the halibut soft tacos, the pulled pork sandwich and the SaMaria-style BBQ. The wine list features an extensive selectionCentral Coast wines. In partnership with Tobin James Winery, feature a Westside Zinfandel which is served directly from stainless stanks into a decanter.

Check out Prime Rib Wednesday where you can get a 10-oz prrib with potato of choice and mixed green salad for $19.95 or a prrib sandwich and potato for $12.95.

New San Francisco enue for Grand Tasting and Epicuria

On January 28, The Grand Zinfandel Tasting (held during the

21st Annual Zinfandel Advocates & Producers Festival in San

Francisco) will take on a fresh personality with a new home – thecarpeted, stylish expanse of The Concourse at 8th and Brannan –

a vibrant SoMa neighborhood easily accessible by public trans-

portation. The move to the spacious Concourse will allow winery

stations to be spread out on different levels, enabling friendly,

interactive conversations between winemakers and attendees.

Epicuria, ZAP’s Zinfandel and food pairing extravaganza, will

also relocate to The Concourse in 2012. “The Concourse is conve-

niently located in downtown San Francisco, offering not only the

ease of public transportation and lots of cabs, but also ample

parking. The Concourse is ideally suited to the scope and purpose

of this magnificent annual event,” says Rebecca Robinson, Execu-

tive Director of ZAP. “The change from the two warehouses at FortMason in past years to bringing all the Zinfandel winemakers and

avid fans under one roof is wonderful,” she adds. “We all agree –

the energy and quality experience will be amazing.”

Also new in 2012 are coordinated tasting – events during the

days before the Festival at Beverages & More, K & L Wines, Ferry

Plaza Wine Merchants, Piedmont Grocery, Napa Valley Winery

Exchange and The Press Club.

The 2012 Zinfandel Festival encompasses four compelling

events in San Francisco from January 26, through January 28.

GRAND ZINFANDEL TASTING on Saturday is the largest

and most enthusiastically received single varietal tasting in theworld, with over 200 wineries pouring more than 600 different

Zinfandels. The new venue at The Concourse allows ZAP to offer

more workshops than ever before on a range of topics such as the

differences in the regions where Zinfandel is grown and different

approaches to Zinfandel winemaking. ZinTracks, an innovative

quick-reference tasting guide, will offer lists of wines by appella-

tion, barrel samples, old vines, price point, vintage, vineyard

designates and farming practices – as well as a few fun and whim-

sical “tracks,” such as winemakers’ pets. This allows each attendee

to personalize their tasting experience and leave the Tasting

having made numerous discoveries about the uniqueness of

Zinfandel.EPICURIA is the new name for the extremely popular

Thursday evening Zinfandel and food pairing event, which will

also take place at The Concourse. This is an intimate way to

explore the magic of matching food and Zinfandel, whether it’s

Swan Oyster Depot’s shrimp cocktail or lamb lollipops from Ruth’s

Chris Steak House. Epicuria is a way to meet and converse with

50 Zinfandel vintners and 50 San Francisco Bay Area chefs and

restaurateurs who’ve worked together to offer very specific food-

wine matches. ”There is no better way to experience the wide

range of Zinfandel styles and the broad scope of food that

Zinfandel can be paired with in a more intimate setting,” explRobert Biale, President, Zinfandel Advocates & Produc

Epicuria also includes The ZinKitchen, where chefs will dem

strate how to prepare their dishes and explain why it synchron

so well with Zinfandel. The ZinKitchen chefs include Chef M

Dommen and Sommelier Tonya Pitts from One Market Restaur

and Chef David Taylor and Sommelier Shelley Lindgren from A

FLIGHTS is a seminar and tasting during which a pane

Zinfandel experts will taste along with participants and exp

the superior quality, terroirs and distinctive characteristics of

WINEMAKERS DINNER is the lively benefit auction

winemaker dinner with a Las Vegas theme. Winemakers from

renowned wineries pour their Zinfandels for guests durin

reception followed by a live auction of one-of-a-kind Zinfan

related items ranging from special VIP winery experiences

travel, unique Zinfandel-themed art works and rare and l

format bottles. At dinner, guests are seated with the winemak

Zinfandel’s critically important role in the world of fine wine.

While the Zinfandel grape originated in Europe, the Zinfandel

name is truly American—the earliest documented use of the name

was when a Boston nursery owner advertised Zinfandel for sale in1832. Zinfandel was introduced to California during the Gold

Rush at some point between 1852 and 1857 and became widely

planted because it thrived so well in the state’s climate and soil.

Today, Zinfandel is the third leading wine grape variety in Cali-

fornia, with nearly 50,000 acres planted, according to the 2010

California Grape Acreage Report.

As The Association of Zinfandel Advocates and Producers

(ZAP) celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2011, ZAP looks back

upon a profound legacy while anticipating a revealing future for

Zinfandel. Together with historians, growers, producers,

researchers and consumers, ZAP is dedicated to preserving the

heritage of Zinfandel while promoting its prospects. ZAP also hasfunded a number of other projects, including the development of

the Zinfandel Aroma Wheel, publication of Resource Guide To

Zinfandel as well as other educational events and materials.

Zinfandel Advocates & Producers welcomes “Advocate”

members as well as wineries! Members come from all walks of life –

educators, wine trade, students, professionals, wine drinkers, wine

collectors and those who just love Zinfandel! ZAP members have

unique opportunities to explore Zinfandel, meet other Zinfandel

If you are a regular in the Hunt Cellars

tasting room located just off of Highway 46

West on Oakdale Road in Paso Robles,

chances are you have enjoyed music while

you sipped your wine. Owner/winemaker,

David Hunt, pursued a music career in his

younger days prior to becoming an elec-

tronics entrepreneur and real estate devel-

oper. Since opening the tasting room in 1999,

David has been playing different styles of

music and observed the way its mood affects

people’s attitudes. At the end of each of the

quarterly winemaker dinners he performs a

solo concert for guests.

Whether the wine inspires his music or

music inspires his wine, clearly the two go

hand in hand. A glimpse at the tasting room’s

wine list indicates the ties to his music back-

ground. The wines have whimsical names

such as the Chardonnay “Moonlight Sonata”,

Sangiovese “Rhapsody”, Merlot “Unforget-

table” and Cabernet “CabOvation”. With

consistent accolades, the wines have given

David something to sing about.

And sing about the wines he does in his

“Rhapsody in Red” CD. The CD contains

songs written and composed by David Hunt.He co-produced the CD with contemporary

jazz guitarist Nils. Nils’ Jumpstart song was

rated the most played smooth jazz song by

Billboard Magazine. Along with David on

piano and lyrics, Nils on guitar, the CD also

features the talents of onetime Ambrosia

drummer Burleigh Drummond, backing

vocalist Clydene Jackson, and dramatic

orchestral arrangements by Philippe Saisse.

The collection of songs is inspired by the two

things that David is most passionate about –

his family and wine.

The CD begins with “Hilltop Serenade,” a

classical influenced rocker about what wine-

makers call the “angel’s share” inspired by

Syrah, and ends with “Bon Vivant”, an opti-

mistic song named after one of David’s

cabernet sauvignon. Along with several other

songs named after his unique wines, the CD

contains several songs about this family and

key moments in his life. “Destiny”, for

example, is a song he wrote the night before

his daughter Destiny was born. He gives

credit for the inspiration to record this CD to

his children who told him “If you don’t do it

now, you are never going to do it”. The CD,

dedicated to his wife and three children, can

be found in the Hunt Cellars tasting room.

While visiting the tasting room be sure to

taste the 2007 “Bon Vivant” Cabernet Sauvi-

gnon, a wine that recently received a 93-point

rating. The Cabernet has a lovely nose of

currants, blackberries, cherries and toasty

vanilla. With balanced tannins, dark fruit,

and supple mouthfeel this is an easy-drinking

wine. The tasting room staff will be happy to

play the “Bon Vivant” song for you while you

taste.

Always striving to create something new,

David has produced his first Pinot Noir. The

fruit sourced from Santa Barbara County has

been transformed into a very smooth, elegant

Pinot that is rich with flavors. Having just

been released, the wine has already receive

96-point rating from Food & Beverage Wo

The wine is being positioned as a Caber

drinkers’ Pinot Noir due to the struct

color, body and texture. If you are lucky, t

may have a bottle open at the tasting room

home to 20 acres of Viogner, Grenache,

Mourvedre, Syrah and a bit of Zinfandel,

Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat. With access

to quality fruit and at the guide of one of

Central Coast’s finest winemakers, Joey

Tensley, it is no wonder Carina Cellars is

producing stellar wines.

The focus here is on premium wines originating from Paso Robles.

The PWC features 48 wines available by the taste, glass or any one

ounce increment through a state-of-the-art Enomatic wine pouring

system. The Enomatic system gives the consumer complete control to

try a variety of wines at the push of a button. A pre-paid debt-like card

is used to activate the machines and deduct value as different wines

are tasted.

The Paso Wine Centre is a modern tasting lounge grounded by the

earthiness of custom-made community slab tasting tables and

wonderful artwork showcasing some of the vineyards of Paso. The

tables are the work of new owner Kevin Rankin, who took over thePWC in June of 2010. He wanted to connect the modern design of the

space with natural wood, one of his passions. So with the help of some

new friends, he was able to obtain 100-year-old oak slabs from Halter

Ranch and a space outside of Denner to create the tables.

What started out as a project to increase seating and tie the sptogether, has become a focal point for everyone visiting the Cen

Hearthstone Vineyard & Winery produces 100% estate-grown

wine from their 40-acre vineyard. Owner, Hoy Buell, a Cal Poly grad-

uate and horticulturist for 32 years, planted the vineyard back in 1999.

With his past experience in growing a wide variety of plants, it is no

surprise that he planted a very diverse vineyard. The Hearthstone

Vineyard is home to 20 different varieties of grapes with up to seven

different clones of each. Over the years he has continued to fine tune

the vineyard, sometimes grafting vines, with the goal of producing the

best fruit the land can deliver.

Hoy brought in winemaker Paul Ayers to take the wide range of premium fruit to produce exceptional wines. Working together they

determine the perfect time to harvest the fruit. Each lot is hand-

picked, sorted and fermented in small lots. Unlike many wineries that

will process a mix of clones together, each lot processed at the winery

is a single clone of a single varietal. That means typically just two tons

of grapes at a time and Paul will have up to 25 lots of wine to work

with at any given time. By working in small batches Paul is able to

retain the subtle variation of flavors that each clone possesses.

According to Paul, “Quality is the focus at Hearthstone and by

working with small lots I am able to extract the best qualities from the

fruit and age it to deliver wines with a nice level of oak integration. Iam always looking to improve the quality of the wines through the use

of different yeasts which accentuate flavors and occasionally I will use

native ‘field yeast’ to ferment the grapes.” With more than 20 years of

experience making wine in the Paso Robles area, Paul has the ability

to manage the winemaking process from vineyard to bottle. “Paul’s

ability to detect slight variations and prevent problems from growing

is crucial to our success, and is a result from his weekly testing,

topping, and of course tasting. Paul’s attention to the wines maximizes

the potential of the superior fruit coming from the field.” Hoy n

about Paul.

Once the wine has aged long enough to soften the tannins and i

grate the desired flavor from the oak, Paul gets to do what he is kno

best for – create unique, creative blends. Occasionally a single bof a varietal is deemed by Paul to be of superior quality and it wi

bottled as a standalone varietal. A single barrel produces just 25 c

of wine and these are reserved for the Hearthstone Wine Club.

Wine Tast ing at AVILA BEACH




by Brette Ann Woack

Tucked away in the middle of the historic

Filipponi Ranch, Per Bacco Cellars is a hidden

gem in the San Luis Obispo wine country. Per

Bacco is the product of a passion of premium

wines held by two individuals: Craig Shannon,

owner and winemaker, is a third generation

vineyard manager while Marco Rizzo, owner,also owns Café Roma, an Italian restaurant in

San Luis Obispo. Their love for quality wine

without pretention is made obvious upon

visiting the cellar. Per Bacco is a destination

worthy of the modest ride out to the Filipponi

Ranch.

The tasting room is located inside the cellar

which makes for a uniquely authentic wine

tasting experience. Often, winemaker Craig is

working on future releases just a few feet from

the tasting bar. Daily from 11 a.m to 5 p.m., a

selection of Per Bacco wines are presented

guests may choose up to five of these wines

taste. Included are samplings of Chardon

and Pinot Noir; both are made from premi

grapes sourced from vineyards in the E

Valley region. The 2008 Edna V

Chardonnay is a beautiful example of a C

fornia Chardonnay with rich notes of trop

fruit and dense texture. The San FrancChronicle awarded this wine with a si

medal. Per Bacco sources Pinot Noir fr

Laetitia Vineyards in the cool coastal Arr

Grande valley. These grapes were used in

Bacco’s 2007 Arroyo Grande Pinot Noir wh

was awarded a double gold from the San Fr

cisco Chronicle. The fruit from Laetitia V

yards also produces Per Bacco’s flagship w

the Dionysus Pinot Noir. Craig selects bar

that stand out among the entire lot and bot

the wine separately under the Dionysus la

The wine is surprisingly bold while, at the same time, exceptionbalanced and is extremely limited with only around 85 c

produced. From time to time, Per Bacco’s limited release wines

available at outstanding discounts. Currently, this is the case for

2008 Pinot Grigio which is on sale for $70 per case! “Everyday”

wines are also frequently available. “Rosetto” red wine is an interes

blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Syrah. The wine is bright

acidic, perfect for any Italian inspired meal.

After wine tasting, guests are encouraged to enjoy the sc

grounds surrounding the cellar. Two majestic Sycamore trees to

over picnic tables, a bocce ball court and horse shoes. The charm

area is ideal for enjoying an afternoon picnic, and it is a relaxing a

for guests and wine club members to enjoy Per Bacco wines. W

club members are fondly referred to as “La Famiglia” and are welco

to visit the cellar for complimentary wine tasting. Marco shares fam

recipes with “La Famiglia” and performs mozzarella making dem

strations at wine club pick up parties.

Per Bacco’s casual and friendly atmosphere is heightened by

award-winning wine selection. The tasting room is open year rou

and will surely charm all wine tasters as soon as they enter the ce

“Per Bacco” is an expression of surprise which is exactly what gu

will say upon first sip!

In the north-west corner of the Lompoc “Wine Ghetto” sits Zotov

importance of minimal interventionism in winemaking, as Ryan pursuhands-on experience at Palmina, and then later, under the direction of KCurran and Victor Gallegos at Sea Smoke. In the summer of 2010, Ryan his position as Sea Smoke’s Cellar Master to dedicate his energy and wi

making efforts into the newly formed family label, Zotovich Cellars.

“The partnership just made sense,” says Ryan. “Our goal is to remain sm We never want to lose our focus of making high-quality wine. Stylistically,

wines are varietal driven, elegant, balanced and bright. We rely heavily ongrapes themselves to set precedent.” You can purchase bottles of these hacrafted, small-lot wines at the Zotovich Cellars tasting room in the Lom“Wine Ghetto” every Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Today, Byron’s estate vineyards reflect the knowledge and insight

gained from this big experiment. Planting, sustainable farming and

harvesting techniques have been tailored to help each vineyard block

produce wines that offer balance and individualistic flavors packed

with character. Since 2003, Jonathan Nagy has helmed winemaking

duties. His small-lot, hands-on winemaking techniques have helped

contribute to Byron’s success. Intensive grape sorting, native yeast

fermentations, and wine lot separation from harvest through wine-

making – with more than 170 separate batches of Pinot Noir alone –have helped create wines that combine the finesse of Burgundy and

the power of California.

Wandering Dog Wine Bar is a family

owned business by people who are passionate

about wine. Director di Vino, Charles “CT”

Williams, has an extensive knowledge of the

local wine country and has a knack for

picking out under the radar wines before

anyone else has heard of them. Everything

here is “palate-picked” meaning that we try

every wine that we carry and are not influ-

enced by the latest trends or scores. In fact,

you will not a see a score for any wines

anywhere on site.

Leave your leash behind…it is more than

just a motto, it is a way of life for them. Here,

you’re encouraged to try wines you’ve never

heard of from producers you didn’t know

existed in places that you never thoughtproduced wine. This is not the place to

sample your typical Cabernets and Chardon-

nays and chances are, you may only have

heard of half of the wines that they carry.

With a wide variety of wine, beer and

sparkling wines from artisan producers along

the Central Coast, as well as from around the

world, there is always something for

everyone. Enjoy one of the themed flights or

order a glass of wine and relax with friends. If

you need a little break from all of the wine, do

a beer flight instead, or just kick back with a

cold one! The only thing better than wine and

beer is having some “little bites” to go along

with it. They offer a nice array of gourmet

antipasto and cheese platters as well as deli-

cious chocolate truffles and caramels.

For those visiting on a Thursday, stop in

for the Blind Tasting from 4 to 7 p.m. Each

week features different themes and guests

are challenged to match up regions, vari-

etals, price points and vintages of the four

wines included. There are also fun wineclasses throughout the year on Tuesdays
