Previously, nosotros went hiking along the Salinas River inwards Part 1. Today, we'll honour out merely what makes Paso together with therefore famous...

Paso Robles is known for wine, together with therefore today we’ll concentrate our efforts towards that. First, it’s fourth dimension for breakfast.

Watch the Video!

Yesterday nosotros had great pancakes at Springside Café, today, it’s chilaquiles, chorizo, together with eggs at Joe’s Place. Formerly a Mexican eating theater called Lolo’s, similar a shot it’s a greasy spoon diner alongside a surly chef together with a wisecracking waitress…at to the lowest degree that’s what the description on the bill of fare says.  We never got to run into the create together with had a friendly server.

The nutrient was great, similar a shot it’s fourth dimension to operate it off.  Letty goes for an early on morning time run through downtown piece I teach for a walk.


It’s prissy to reckon a town inwards the morning time past times foot. You reckon together with therefore much to a greater extent than than you lot exercise merely driving by. These 2 pit bulls kept a unopen oculus on me equally I walked past times the shop they were guarding.


I also walked around the fairgrounds together with the Pioneer Museum.

Time to sense of savor some wine.  We picked upwards some coupons from the front end desk of our hotel, the Best Western Black Oak, together with striking the road.

First, nosotros went to the W side of town to a castle on the side of the road. This is Eagle Crest Winery inwards a custom built castle on overstep of a hill. (Ed - this is similar a shot the Rabble Winery)


It fifty-fifty has a moat.


I had seen a banner dorsum at the fairgrounds for this winery where the fine impress said they were selling mixed cases for $100.  If the wine’s good, that’s a bargain.  Other wineries inwards town had some cases on sale for $75 or $80 but merely on certainly varieties.


In the tasting room, I asked the server what the atmospheric condition were for the price.  Just alternative whatsoever vino from the list, brand upwards a illustration (12 bottles) whatsoever agency you lot like…mix or match…and it’s $100.  Even for the $30 wines.

We tasted, nosotros liked rattling much, nosotros bought a case.  Nice winery, great wines, together with proficient staff.


Just downward the road, nosotros catch Castoro Cellars.  Here nosotros also sense of savor some prissy wines, but a chip overpriced.  Many of the same wines are on sale at the local Albertson’s for $7.


They exercise select some prissy chocolate truffles, together with therefore nosotros teach a bottle of belatedly harvest zinfandel port to select a piffling dessert picnic overlooking the vineyard.



Heading over to the due east side of town, nosotros teach along the Union Road vino trail to Maloy O’Neill winery.  Here nosotros sense of savor some average cherry-red wines going for $26 together with up.  Nice place, but merely likewise expensive.


Our final halt was the Tobin James Winery at the eastern halt of Union Road.  Decent wines, merely a chip expensive but alongside a piffling impatient mental attitude at the tasting counter.

Summing upwards our quick tour, nosotros liked Eagle Crest best, Castoro, together with the due east side wineries a piffling less.

If you'd similar to reckon to a greater extent than of our vino tasting adventure, scout the video from this week's Cocktail Hour, below.


Watch the Paso Robles Wine Tasting video!

After a swim together with nap interruption dorsum at the hotel, nosotros caput over the metropolis commons inwards downtown.


It’s Friday, together with therefore we’re inwards fourth dimension for the offset concert inwards the commons for the summertime season. Tonight, local band Rhythm Method is playing inwards the gazebo piece ribs, wine, together with beer are sold off to the side.  Many other attendees select their ain picnics together with drinks.


I teach across the street to the Goodwill, purchase a inexpensive picnic blanket, teach some wine, beer, together with food, together with nosotros settle inwards for the show.  Very prissy together with relaxing agency to halt the day.
