WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS MONTH

Discover the Essence of Paso Robles, with a visit to Robert Hall
Winery. Tucked in the rolling terrain near the eastern gateway to Paso
Robles, Robert Hall Winery is celebrating their “10 Year Anniversary”
in 2011. Founder Robert L. Hall has realized a life-long dream in
building the winery and hospitality center which has become a land-
mark for the Paso Robles community.
Robert’s interest in the wine business was sparked during a family
vacation to France in the late ’70s. As he traveled throughout the
Rhône Valley, Robert was captivated by the tradition and lifestyle of
the family wine estates he visited. Shortly after, Robert began devel-oping his idea for a premium-producing vineyard and winery and
ventured west with the goal of visiting each of California’s wine appel-
lations to explore optimum growing conditions for
the production of premium wine grapes, specifi-
cally the Rhône varieties he enjoyed so much. In
the early ’90s, Robert and Margaret discovered the
perfect terroir in the Paso Robles AVA. Featuring
soil rich in nutrients, coupled with warm days and
cool nights, Robert felt the viticultural conditions
were ideal to the development of the enological
characteristics he was seeking to produce. “Home
Ranch” was acquired in 1995. Soon after, the
“Terrace” and “Bench” vineyards joined the Hall
Ranch.
Dedicated to environmental sustainability,
Robert Hall Winery has achieved Sustainability in
Practice (SIP)™ Certification for its vineyards, with
each bottle of wine bearing the SIP™ seal. As true
stewards of the land, both the winery and viney
practice natural resource conservation. Measu
include the preservation of native oak trees on
Hall Ranch, energy and water conservation thro
the recycling and treatment of waste water for
vineyard and landscape irrigation, use of a natu
pumice, diatomaceous earth and organic comptea in the vineyard as well as cover crops, benefi
insects and permaculture gardens.
The winery was named California’s “Golden S
Winery” for 2010 by the California State Fair W
Competition. Known as the oldest and most pre
giously judged wine competition in North Amer
this year’s event included nearly 3,000 wines fr
over 600 wineries, which were all blind tas
Robert Hall Winery’s ten wine entries garnered five “Best of Cla
honors and placed the winery in the position of being this ye
golden recipient – a first time honor for a Central Coast winery. Rob
L. Hall is “proud of this achievement and the attention it brings to
wines and wineries in Paso Robles.” All Robert Hall wines are craf
by winemaker Don Brady who joined Robert Hall Winery in 2001
Texas native, Don was recognized by his industry peers in 2006
receiving the “Winemaker of the Year” honors. Don’s goal in craft
Robert Hall wines is “to bring the elements of the fruit from the H
Ranch to the winey to capture the exceptional color and flavor tha
the essence of Paso Robles.” While Robert Hall Winery is most kno
for their Cabernet Sauvignon, the winery has an extensive Rhône-w
portfolio including Viognier, Blanc de Robles, Grenache Blanc, Rh
de Robles, Pape de Robles, Syrah and a Petite Sirah.

Summerland Winery is a boutique wine
company that takes pride in producing a diverse
range of premium wines focusing on the expres-
sive vineyard sources spanning from Santa
Barbara to Monterey with an emphasis on small
lot, vineyard designated Pinot Noir production.
Inspired by the relaxed, friendly lifestyle enjoyed
throughout California’s serene coastal towns,
Proprietor, Mr. Nebil “Bilo” Zarif opened his
tasting room in the charming town of Summer-
land. Here at the Summerland Winery Boutique,
visitors are invited to taste Summerland’s award-
winning varietal wines in a comfortable seaside
setting overlooking the town and Pacific Ocean.
Since its conception in 2002, Summerland
Winery has quickly built a name synonymous
with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The Wines
Mr. Zarif, a longtime fixture in the Central Coast wine industry,
founded Summerland Winery with the intention of producing a
diverse range of Central Coast wines. The current portfolio of white
wines includes Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Chardonnay,
Orange Muscat, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Grenache,
Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon offered in two distinctive tiers. A
portfolio of the reds of the Central Coast Collection are blended in a
more fruit forward style, excellent for food pairing. They best reflect
the category of everyday enjoyment and offer good varietal character
with a regional flavor profile.
The Summerland reserve tier is dedicated to single-vineyard
bottlings from top vineyards in the region. T
line is called the Single Vineyard Collecti
These wines express the distinct terroir of
vineyards we select and are crafted using only
most traditional winemaking techniques. T
inaugural release garnered much acclaim w
the 2002 Bien Nacido Vineyard wines receiv
92 and 93 points for the Chardonnay and PiNoir respectively in the Wine Advocate. Th
selections are produced in limited quantities w
every bottle individually numbered assuring
commitment to small lot production.
Several appellations and vineyard sources
represented on the Summerland label and a
understanding of the Central Coast is eviden
all the wines. Though most of the wines bear
names of Santa Barbara vineyard sources, we a
produce Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache
Zinfandel from Paso Robles and Pinot Noir from two separate vi
yards in the Edna Valley. Pinot fanatics will be happy to know t
Summerland’s 2007 Pinot Noir program has expanded to includ
total of six exciting vineyard sources in the Santa Rita Hills, Sa
Maria Valley, and Edna Valley.
In their first year, Summerland wines received 29 medals includ
two Gold Medal Best of Class awards for Pinot Noir and recognit
in numerous publications. Summerland Winery continues to imp
with their popular 2003 Chardonnay receiving Best of Show Whit
a judging by their peers in the 2005 Santa Barbara County Fair W
Competition.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK: CENTRAL COAS
Vineyards First
It all starts here in the vineyard. At Summerland Winery, they
put in a lot of miles traveling the region, tasting and meeting with
growers before a vineyard site is selected for the Single Vineyard
Collection. They recognize that careful vineyard selection and
coordination with the vineyard managers throughout the growing
season plays a key role in achieving the kind of structure and
finesse in the wines they are making.Numerous visits are conducted throughout the harvest by
Summerland Winemaker, Etienne Terlinden who will make the
final call as to when to pick the grapes for optimal ripeness and
flavor. While Bien Nacido serves as the core vineyard source for
Summerland’s Chardonnay and Pinot Noir programs, additional
Pinot Noir sources include the Fiddlestix and Rancho Santa Rosa
Vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills appellation, Chamisal Vineyard
and Odyssey-Thurlestone Vineyards in Edna Valley and Solomon
Hills Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley.
Winemaking
Summerland production takes place in the Santa Maria facilitynear the Bien Nacido Vineyard. The location is ideal since they
contract fruit from several vineyard sources throughout the region.
Winemaker, Etienne Terlinden describes his approach as a
meeting of old world tradition and new world principles. The fruit
is processed using state-of-the-art equipment ideal for Pinot Noir
production yet vinification and cellaring is conducted with
minimal intervention and traditional winemaking in mind. Red
wine grapes pass through sorting tables then on to the destemer,
which gently removes the stems from the clusters. The juice and
berries fall into 1.5-ton wood fermenters for a slow maceration
process averaging 10 to 14 days depending on the varietal and
clone. The grapes are then pressed using a bladder press and thejuice is gently removed from the skins. From here the wine will be
aged in small French Oak casks until bottling.
Our commitment to small-lot production is evident in the wines
that comprise the Single Vineyard Collection. Here the wines are
hand-crafted every step of the way in quantities ranging from as
little as 125 cases to 800 cases.
Blending is conducted with the expertise of world-renowned
consultant, Michele Pignarre le Danois. Michele, who resides in
Bordeaux, visits the region periodically to taste and sew together
the final blends with Etienne and his staff. This is the crucial step
where all the components that go into a single vineyard bottling
are evaluated, analyzed and pieced together to make wines thatwill bear the distinction of the celebrated Single Vineyard Collec-
tion. An individual bottling of Pinot Noir may have up to as many
as six clonal varieties that Etienne has carefully vinified separately
in the cellar. Barrels that are not selected for single vineyard
programs will be blended into the Central Coast Collection. This
keeps the single vineyard wines focused on the terroir and flavor
profile of the individual vineyard site while maintaining high wine
quality in both programs. The finished wines are bottled with
minimal fining to preserve the fruit intensity and released in
limited quantities.

Perched on an oak studded hilltop in the
Templeton Gap, Hearthstone’s rustic tasting
room provides a relaxed, casual atmosphere
for wine tasting. The tasting room staff isextremely knowledgeable and happy to
answer any questions about the estate vine-
yards, the winemaking process and the wines
offered for tasting. “We believe tasters appre-
ciate a little wine education during their visit
so all of our staff is trained to answer ques-
tions. We even added an educational blog to
our website for those who are not able to visit
us in person,” commented tasting room
manager Josslyn Wagster.
All of the wines produced by Hearthstone’s
winemaker, Paul Ayers, are made from grapessourced from the 40-acre estate vineyard.
Owner Hoy Buell, a Cal Poly graduate and
horticulturist for 28 years, planted the vine-
yard with a large number of different varietals
in small blocks. Each year approximately 15
different wines are released with several
limited productions. Every now and then
Paul will find a barrel of wine too good to
blend and will bottle it standalone with just
25 cases available. The majority of the line-up
is what the winery is known for – creative
blends. Tasters can select Bordeaux blends,
Rhône blends and even a Super Tuscan
named Profundo. The 2007 Profundo is 53%
Sangiovese, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15%
Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Profundowon a gold medal in this year’s San Francisco
Chronicle competition and is a current
favorite in the tasting room.
Just outside the tasting room visitors are
welcome to enjoy a comfortably furnished
patio surrounded by large oak trees and stun-
ning views. Every Friday until October 28th,
from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., the patio is the place to
be for the Weekly Wine Down. For just $10
guests are offered wine tasting, BBQ appetizers
and live music. Most Fridays a local artist

manning the BBQ. On June 10th Lin
Tomasic, acoustic guitarist and songwr

ending their work week, it is the perfect w
to spend a relaxing evening and chat with
staff and other guests. With the new park
there is plenty of space and easy access.
Be sure to ask about the Hearthstone w
club when you visit. Club members rece

Now in it’s eighth year, the California Wine
Festival’s three days of wine events are scheduled
for July 14-16, in picturesque Santa Barbara. “We’re
expecting another great festival this year, Director
Don Fritzen said. “Our new Orange County Cali-
fornia Wine Festival sold out last year and we
expect the same here in our original home base
where we’ve always enjoyed tremendous support.”
Organizers are expecting a wide variety of
wineries from every wine region in California to
pour at the prestigious three days of events, plus
regional microbreweries, some imported wine and
even vodka and tequila tasting exhibitors. “We’re
also working hard to attract the best local and
regional restaurants and gourmet food purveyors
from around the country”, Fritzen said. Of course,
live musical entertainment has been lined up at all
three events to provide an exciting sound track to
this outdoor extravaganza.
Emily Kaufmann, the growing company’s new
Vice President of Festival Operations agrees with
Fritzen’s vision of a bright future, “We’re beginning
to attract some national sponsorships along with
more significant wineries and gourmet food
purveyors. Our brand has stood the test of time,
and we’ve always maintained the highest standard
of wine, food and fun entertainment, giving our
guests more for their dollar.
Elite wineries, gourmet food manufacturers, toprestaurants, and especially event sponsors recognize
the value they receive from marketing to CWF’s
high profile clientele in an environment of presti-
gious wines, foods and lots of sun and fun.” Kauf-
mann concluded “Tickets are going on sale sooner
than ever before this year as demand seems to
continue to rise for California Wine Festival’s blend
of quality wines and gourmet foods, presented in a
one-of-a-kind California setting. “Better buy early
and take advantage of our early bird prices, as we
expect to sell out again, Kaufmann warned!”

Santa Barbara’s Spanish roots. The historic De La
Guerra Adobe Courtyard, site of the original
Spanish fiestas in downtown Santa Barbara, will

California and Spanish wineries will showcase their
world-class wines accompanied by a spicy array of
appetizers from top local restaurants. Colorful
Flamenco dancers, accompanied by blazing guitars
and hot Latin sounds will keep everyone ‘caliente’
throughout the event.

Riedel Glassware Company, preeminent wine glass-
ware manufacturer. Each attendee will receive their

by Brette Ann Womack
Within the rolling hills and temperate
maritime climate of the Edna Valley appella-
tion, a beautiful tasting room and quality
wines can often be mutually exclusive. Anexception is Talley Vineyards. 2011 marks the
25th anniversary of Talley Vineyards and it is
no wonder this local family has been
attracting guests to their property for a
quarter of a century. After making the turn off
of Lopez Drive, wildflowers and farmland
accompany the views of the estate vineyard.
A charming courtyard surrounds the entrance
to the tasting room. Plenty of seating is avail-
able for guests to enjoy their wine tasting
outside and take advantage of the mildArroyo Grande valley weather which has an
average of 70 degrees year round.
Open the large wooden doors to the
tasting room and immediately take in the
expansive views, most notably including the
famed Rincon Vineyard. Once the sights of
the gorgeous property have been successfully
examined, peruse the bountiful gift items
beautifully displayed around the unrestricted
and welcoming space. The tasting room is
open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
during which guests can choose their flight of
five wines from either a regular menu ($6) or
a distinctive menu ($12). Enjoy both the
Talley Estate and Bishop’s Peak wines.For those looking for a unique and educa-
tional experience, Talley’s Guest Services
Coordinator, Andy McDaniel, offers an
expansive array of Guest Services for wine
novices and wine aficionados alike. The

In the heart of the Edna Valley, the Jack
Niven Hospitality Center offers what is
arguably the finest view in San Luis Obispo.
From this beautiful location, artfully crafted
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and other varietals are
served. Much of the wine is made from
Paragon Vineyards which surrounds the prop-
erty. Inside, thoughtfully selected vinicultural
gift and gourmet food items fill the great room.
After the first sip of wine, spending an after-
noon perusing the Hospitality Center is
inevitable.
Conveniently located just off of Highway
227, the scenery bordering the HospitalityCenter is accented by roses and pepper trees.
A demonstration vineyard, which allows guests to learn about the vari-
etals grown in the Edna Valley, is surrounded by ample parking. A
bountiful garden and the sweet smell of jasmine act as a guide to the
tall glass entry doors. Upon entering, the jaw dropping view – show-
casing Islay Peak, the Seven Sisters and Paragon Vineyard – draws
guests to the wine tasting bar. The tasting menu boasts a wide selec-
tion of wines including reserves, such as the Paragon Vineyard
Chardonnay, which are available only through the Hospitality Center.
While mostly known for Edna Valley Pinot Noir with regards to the
reds, the Petite Syrah from Paso Robles is
exciting and delicious addition to the flight.
Join the welcoming hospitality staff year-ro
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and sample E
Valley Vineyard’s artisanal wines. During hol
weekends the Hospitality Center offers celebra
events, including a Memorial Day sale with rec
paired with Edna Valley Vineyard wines.
Fridays in June, local musicians play from 5
p.m. and all are welcome to join for appetizers
wine by the glass. Edna Valley Vineyard is pa
ipating in the SLO Vintners 21st Roll out
Barrels. On Friday the 24th, Those Guys perf

music and a huge warehouse sale will be avail
to Passport holders on Saturday. For more inmation, call (805) 544-5855 ext. 28 or send

country to be married,” according to Wine Enthusiast Magazine. E
Valley Vineyard hosts weddings and private parties from the most
mate gatherings to lavish weddings for up to 250 guests. Tina Ho
has a long standing reputation for superior service and organizat

California activities will include long board surfing competitions for
amputee surfers, winemakers and brew masters; a classic Volkswagen

Firestone, a Marine, it’s personal; it’s an opportunity for all of us to

Business owner and restaurant affi-
cianado Jim Spallino, together with AlfonsoCurti, former executive chef of Grappolo inSanta Ynez, have a winning combinationfor Orcutt’s next big thing: a local Italiantrattoria. Both Spallino and Curti havedreamed of having a restaurant of their ownand when the opportunity to take on theWine Cottage Bistro presented itself, theyjumped! Curti, a native Calabrian, movedto California from Italy a little more thanten years ago and made a name for himself
working at his family’s restaurant in Santa
Ynez during that time. His culinary careerbegan as a young teenager where heworked in a family bakery and later heserved in the Italian Army as a chef fortroops. Perhaps his greatest teachers werehis Nonna and Mamma where he learnedthe heart of Italian cooking.
When Spallino frequented the familyrestaurant in Santa Ynez, right away hezeroed in on the heart of the place: Chef Curti – and planted the seed for Alfonso todream of having his own trattoria.
Trattoria Uliveto is a gathering place forfamilies, friends, business associates, localsand tourists with a passion for quality foodand fine wine. You will be transported to asmall trattoria in the heart of Italy whenyou meet the staff, taste the food and soakin the atmosphere. Favorite offerings startwith the Grissini: homemade breadsticks,wrapped in prosciutto and soaked in butterand sage, then a salad of arugula, parme-sean, lemon and extra virgin olive oil. For
the main course one might try a pasta of penne, sausage and mushrooms in a tomcream sauce or a pizza from a wood-burning pizza oven. Meat lovers will nobe disappointed with a bistecca of the daprepared to your liking or perhaps thebreaded pork chop with arugula, tomatoand extra virgin olive oil. Lastly, your swtooth will be satiated with a rich chocolamousse or perhaps Alfonso’s “Torta dellaNonna.” Come experience a quick escapto the Mediterranean and enjoy fine locafare at Trattoria Uliveto. Restaurant hourdinner is Tuesday through Sunday from 5to 10 p.m. and lunch is Tuesday throughFriday from 11:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Hop On/Hop Off Shuttle Service Opens In Santa Barbara & Santa Ynez Valley A new wine tasting transportation service is being launched to
serve Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley. Unlike other wine
touring options, The Wine Line will allow tasters to hop on and hop
off of their shuttles like a city bus, choose the wineries they want tovisit and stay as long as they like. The door-to-door service offers an
excellent way to safely taste wines without a designated driver and to
pick your pace of tasting.
Owner/Operator Jason Westfall launched The Wine Line in April.
After a frustrating wine tasting trip with friends, Jason Westfall desired
a better solution to organized wine tasting and the risk of drinking and
driving. Private cars were expensive and large groups with guides were
unappealing to them. They didn’t want to be held to a schedule or told
how or what to taste. They wanted freedom of choice at a reasonable
price and a safer mode of transportation. He envisioned a shuttle that
you could jump on and off as you wish at numerous wineries. “Themost important part of the service is we give people a safe and flexible
alternative to drinking and driving” says Jason. After successfully
running the same service in Paso Robles for the past two years, he
knew it was time to expand.
The service will initially operate on a circular route that runs from
Los Olivos up through Foxen Canyon. The Wine Line has partnered
with over 30 premier wineries as destination points. The two vehicles
will stop at each winery approximately every 40 minutes. The service
operates like a modified city bus with specific stops throughout
day. Customers can just pick and choose from the wineries servi
where they’d like to “hop off” all day long. Standard operating days
Thursday through Sunday (10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). The shuttles
pick up clients at their hotel or residence and safely deliver them bwhen they so desire. The cost for all day service is $79.95 per pers
but military, get a $10 discount off the regular price.
The two shuttles operate from their home base in Solvang. T
modern Dodge Sprinter van runs on environmentally frien
biodiesel. “We wanted to make as little impact on the environmen
possible,” said Westfall, “and we figured that people would feel be
about their choice of transportation if we were green.”
ABOUT
The Wine Line is the best choice for safe and fun wine tasting
touring in the Paso Robles and Santa Barbara wine countries. It
“hop on, hop off” shuttle service that provides flexibility in w
tasting. Modern vans travel a circular route and stop at designa
wineries every 40 minutes. Wine Line seven days a week from 10
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Special arrangements can be made for Mon
through Wednesday tours for groups of eight or more. More infor

Located at the northern tip of the Pleasant Valley Wine Trail, Pretty-
Smith Vineyards & Winery offers visitors a big dose of the friendlyhospitality that the area is known for. Owner/winemaker, Lisa Pretty,
personally welcomes each guest with a warm smile and an offer to
begin the tasting the line-up of the estate grown Bordeaux varietals
and blends.
The tasting room can be found in the hilltop winery with
wonderful views of both the golden hills of San Miguel and the estate
vineyards. While the majority of the vineyards still host the original
plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sauvi-
gnon Blanc, a few acres have been replanted to include Malbec.
Working with the estate fruit, it is the blends that really let Lisa exp
her wine style. Palette de Rouge is Pretty-Smith’s signature wine always contains a barrel select blend of the best the vintage has
offer. Three different vintages are currently available for tasting – e
one has a distinctive personality. The female touch can definitely
detected in the wine – the style is soft, smooth and silky with a lov
velvet texture. The reds are aged in French and Hungarian oak bar
for up to four years, then bottled aged for an additional year prio
release. This is an extraordinary boon to the wine drinker who d
not want to wait two or three years for a wine to begin to show
promise.
Throughout the vineyards and winery, the spirit of Kokopelli
be felt. Known as the God of Fertility who played his flute to make
sun rise and crops abundant, Kokopelli has provided inspiration
Lisa as she nurtures the vines and hand crafts the wines. His imag
often found on the wine labels, with each release featuring a uniq
series of “Pretty-glyphs”, oil paintings created by Lisa in the wine
art studio.

Tom Myers joined the Castoro team as
Head Winemaker in 1990. Twenty-one yearslater he is producing approximately 55,000
cases under the Castoro brand along with
owner Niels Udsen, assistant winemaker
Mikel Olsten and enologist Sherrie Holzer.
The winemaking team all share Niels’ vision
of creating “dam fine wines” at a price point
that consumers can enjoy daily.
“Our wines are easily accessible with
something for every palate. I like to empha-
size fruit characteristics true to the grape vari-
etal with just a hint of oak and
well…something you can call yummy,” saysTom. He is very proud of the high quality
wine that they are able to deliver at every day
drinking prices. “I want to produce the best
wines I possibly can, but in the end, I
wouldn’t feel good about making wines that
only a small percentage of the population can
afford. We produce honest wines that are an
honest value. Our wines allow people to
include quality wine in their daily lifestyle,
without breaking the bank. I love it when I
get a comment such as “your wine is as good
as wines I have paid much more much for””.
Tom’s ability to create technically correct
wines is in large part due to his interest inscience. He received his Bachelor of Science,
followed by his Masters of Science, in Biolog-
ical Science/Botany from Michigan State
University. His interest in winemaking
brought him west, to the University of Cali-
fornia at Davis, where he received his Masters
in Food Science with an Enology/Viticulture
focus. “The wide range of science that is
incorporated into winemaking – microbi-
ology, chemistry and physics – piqued my
interest from the beginning,” explains Myers.One of the things that Tom enjoys about
producing wines at Castoro is that he is given
a great deal of latitude in terms of wine style
and choices of grape. Castoro owns vineyards
scattered throughout both the eastside and
westside of Paso Robles; however, in addition
to using their estate grapes they source fruit
from approximately twenty other vineyards.
The wide selection of grapes gives Tom the
freedom to select the best fruit to create wines
that best represent the area.
The current list of wines available
Castoro includes over thirty different wi
with most offered at less than $20 per botTom is proud of all the wines at Castoro
his favorite tends to change. Right now hi
to wine is the 2007 Zinfusion – a blend
Zinfandel from several vineyards with a l
Petite Sirah. The big, bold fruit flavors m
this a popular wine for many people. Be s
to stop by the Castoro tasting room and f
your own favorite. With the selection
wines including Chardonnay, Roussan
Pinot Grigio, Viognier, Malbec, Tempran
Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, CaberFranc, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel

thing that suits your palate.
The tasting room is located at 1315

The Philosophy and
Passion Behind PalminPalmina is more than a winery and enoteca. It is a philosophy
it is a passion, with a strongly held belief that wine is an extension
the plate and a means to bring people together. Formed by winema
Steve Clifton in 1995, Palmina is named in honor of Steve’s gr
friend Paula, who taught him to love wine, cooking, Italian lifes
and was the spark in Steve’s life. After Paula succumbed to br
cancer, Steve found that her given name on her Italian birth certifi
was Palmina, and the winery was thus fittingly named.
“Even before making wine, we were captivated by Italy and
Italian lifestyle,” said Steve. “There, food and wine is part of a heal
happy way of life that brings people together. And so, unlike
movement called ‘Cal-Ital,’ we are not focusing on making wines
big California style. The wines are made in a delicate manner t
allows them to be paired with food. Our dedication to these wine
to handle them all separately without any ‘formula.’ Each of the n
different Italian varieties of grapes we work with requires our comp
attention to detail to ensure that the true nature of that grape sh
through.”
Most of the white wines are made in stainless steel with heighte
aromatics balance the natural acidity and minerality in these v
etals.The red wines range in style from an everyday drinking red w
like Dolcetto, which is made in a fresh style of neutral oak and sta
less steel and released in the summer within a year of harvestingNebbiolo which is a full-bodied wine full of tannins. As oppose
the early release of Dolcetto, Nebbiolo takes four years to produ
aging slowly in large upright and puncheon barrels while slo
gaining earthiness and roundness.
Stop by our enoteca and sample our latest releases as well as a
of cheese and some salami, and find out what’s happening her
Palmina. The tasting room is open Thursday through Saturday
a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday and Monday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

that overlook our estate vineyards. We strive to offer an informative and
welcoming atmosphere that will appeal to wine enthusiasts and novices

stration cork tree and continue out into the estate vineyards. The
winemaking process is then showcased from the crush pad to the
fermentation cellar to the barrel cellar. Tours typically last between 20
to 30 minutes, depending on the volume of guests and depth of ques-
tions.

sense of the word. The proprietors, John and Steve Dragonette and clfriend Brandon Sparks-Gillis formed Dragonette Cellars in order to pursulong-held dream to produce wines of the utmost quality and purity from finest vineyards in Santa Barbara County and the Central Coast. Wives, Mit

Of course it is what’s in the bottle that counts, and to that end, John, Stand Brandon are passionately committed to handcrafting exceptional winecomplexity, purity and balance with their own hands. Therefore they

Dragonette Cellars’ story began at an excellent wine shop in Los Angewhere they had the opportunity to taste (and become inspired by) the benmark wines of the world. From there they obtained hands-on experiencsome of the finest wineries and viticulturists in the world. Armed with experience, they launched their own label, utilizing their vineyard contact

highest quality fruit.In the cellar Brandon, John & Steve focus on allowing their carefully
selected fruit to evolve into wines of great complexity, purity and balance. To
that end, they harvest small lots from each vineyard block individually, withhand sorting in the vineyard, and then ferment and age the resulting winesseparately, carefully monitoring each barrel throughout its elevage. The finalblends are painstakingly created by blind tasting each barrel. Wines arebottled without fining or filtration in most cases.

Wine Tasting in SOLVANGSort This Out Cellarsby Carolyn Turner
Sort This Out Cellars is certainly not your typical wine country
experience. As you walk through the doors of their Solvang tasting
room, you’ll immediately be transported from the quaint Danish
downtown, to the glitz and glam of Las Vegas! Yet as soon as you step
up to the bar and try these unique wines, you’ll know you’re still in
the heart of Santa Ynez wine country.
For owner and vintner Michael Cobb, the beginning of his journey
into the wine industry began while working for Disneyland as
manager and wine buyer for Disneyland’s famed Club 33. After several
years Michael eventually made the Santa Ynez Valley his home, and in
2007 he produced his first vintage of wines that were sold exclusively
online. After a short stint in Buellton, Cobb moved the tasting room to
its new home in Solvang.
Cobb knew that he wanted to create wines that moved away from
the iconic California landscape, and more accurately resembled the
people who drank them. The image of the winery was inspired by an
old picture of the Rat Pack outside The Sands hotel in 1961, and
evokes a time when men had character and women had curves.
“We built our wines around the classic American adult spirit, so
eroded by political correctness and fear, to create wines that were
unapologetic in their character,” said Cobb. “Wines that pair with
good times and good friends.”
With names like “Hardways” Cabernet Sauvignon, “Lady Luck”
Chardonnay, “Oh My Gosh” Grenache and “Even Money” Merlot, and
the “Suited Wines” graced by pinup beauties that would make the
great Gil Elvgren proud, these wines are one of a kind. There’s
certainly something for everyone too, with the addition of the new line
of vintage soda pop. Made with pure cane sugar, the label artwork
features World War 2 era style pinups.
Make sure to catch the live music by local musicians every Fri
and Saturday night from 6 to 10 p.m. Also the first Saturday of ev
month offers an evening of Hootenanny proportions with Nate L
and his Rockabilly Revue. No matter how you role the dice, you
sure to come up lucky at Sort This Out Cellars.
