We had a pleasant drive up the coast to Paso Robles where we are staying a full week so that we can fully enjoy all the wines this area has to offer. In order to do that we need to burn off some calories each day therefore we located the local pickleball courts and have been trying to play for at least an hour and a half each day or taking long walks.
As for the Pinot, there is that and oh so many more wines to taste! Paso claims to have over 300 vineyards/wineries in this area. We cannot do more than 3 in one afternoon as the old taste buds get clogged and all the wine tastes wonderful!
Sculpterra not only had nice wines but the metal art surrounding the tasting room, patio and out into the vineyard were amazing. Cass and Still Waters wineries were just down the road. Tuesday we had an appointment at Law Estates Winery for a private tasting and met some very interesting people, two of which work at another winery (we’ll be visiting it later this week). We followed them down the hill to “dilecta”. We enjoyed their blends but they also had a very nice 100% Syrah. Most of the wines we have tried come from Rhone varietals such as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, & Chardonnay plus Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet, and Zinfandel.
Today we explored the coastline around Cambria about 25 miles west of Paso since we had overdone the exercise and the wine. It was an enjoyable drive along the coast watching Elephant Seals and spotting whale spouts out in the bay. We also had a delightful lunch and enjoyed walking around the town. Its starting to warm up a little - the sun was wonderful!
