BRECON ESTATE A CAVE EXPLORING WINEMAKER Here’s a comparison that sounds like it’s heading into food pairing territory—but don’t lick your lips just yet. Now, foodies do seem to get remarkably excited about various benefits of grass fed versus corn-fed beef. At the center of the debate is the sizzle factor, the texture, flavor profile and cookability. Yum! It is, of course, supported by a whole host of conflicting scientific data. Whichever side you come down on, and you may be feeling hungry already, there’s no doubt that the food source does influence the quality of what the chef eventually plates for you. Wine is no different, except the food source is the soil and its various micro-nutrients. Winemakers get remarkably excited about soil types but, at the end of the day, good dirt is one of the hardest things associated with wine to write about in an engaging and fun sense.

Brecon Alfresco Tasting Experience Photo Credits Chris Leschinsky

There is just a bewildering array of soil types, each may impart different flavors to the wine in ways you might not expect. Before we get copious complaints from other vineyard owners there is no right or wrong soil type. Just differences in the final wine which the individual taster may perceive as beneficial. The fun of wine is exploring some of these differences in the glass. As a general rule the poorer the soil, the better. That is why thin soiled hilltops are popular as super premium vineyards. They limit the vigor of the vine, producing smaller berries and, as most of the flavor and color is in the skin, the juice to skin ratio is preferable, ie more skin less juice.

Vine roots go deep. Really deep. I am an avid cave explorer and have often been invited into cave systems under vineyards.

The vineyard owners had become rightly concerned that their machinery might collapse into a cave! In such caves, vine roots have been found searching for water and nutrients some thirty to forty feet underground, meandering over the passage floors in search of hidden sustenance.

Caves are most often formed in limestone and this brings up one of the traditionally most popular soil types for viticulture.

Think Champagne, Saint-Emilion, the Cote d’Or, Coonawarra, seemingly most of Southern Italy and of course Brecon Estate in Paso Robles. There is good reason, as these calcium-based rocks and their associated, well-drained, calcareous soils are high pH but ironically they produce wines that have fantastic natural acidity (low pH). It’s all to do with the reduced potassium uptake and beneficially means the winemaker rarely needs

to further supplement the grapes natural acid level. Arguably, supplementing acid Paso (a common in wines from some 1322 Parkthe Street, Robles,practice CA 93446 other soil room types)open: never Thur seems to integrate well 1-5 into the wine as Tasting - Sat 1-8, Sun as - Mon 805-369-1092 www.HoytFamilyVineyards.com when grapes with| balanced acidity are used. Up until the mid20th century supplementing the wines natural acidity was not a practical proposition. Wines with brighter acids from calcareous soils lasted longer, were less prone to spoilage, and were more consistently world class in terms of flavor profile, minerality, mouthfeel and tannin perception than other local wines with perhaps softer flabbier acidity.

Keep a look out for strange backhoe pits in empty fields during your travels in wine country. These might be test holes dug in prospective vineyard sites by the local “Dr. Dirt� or more appropriately a soil scientist. Now these guys really, really get excited about sub-layers. Some of the best dirt doctors heavily influenced me in my eventual choice of a home for what is a truly a generational planting, firmly founded on a bedrock of calcareous shale.

OPOLO VINEYARDS Under a shaded table, four guests raise glasses of Mountain Zin in a toast to a welcome rain shower. Across the patio, yet another crispy pizza pie is served hot from the wood-fired oven. Inside the tasting room, a duo of wine club members treat their friends to a Reserve flight of wines. It’s another winter day in February, but the mood is anything but somber at Opolo Vineyards.

Whether you live on the Central Coast or are a first-time visitor, Opolo Vineyards is a must for enjoying what the Paso Robles region has to offer. The enchanting Westside Paso Robles surroundings are reason enough to make the short, scenic jaunt to 7110 Vineyard Drive. But, oh, the wine!

There are many red and white wines to choose from inside the friendly and well-appointed tasting room, but Mountain Zinfandel is Opolo’s flagship. Priced at just $29 a bottle, this jammy, fullbodied head-turner boasts plenty of raspberry, Bing cherry, dark plum, boysenberry, and vanilla with a pleasing measure of oak on the finish done just right. In fact, Wine Enthusiast scored Opolo’s Mountain Zinfandel 2015 and 2016 vintages at 92 and 93 points, respectively.

10

Popular this season is Opolo’s 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon. The Cab comes with the caution that “this wine is not for the faint of heart!” Black cherry, chocolate-covered blueberries and cooking herbs occupy their spaces on the palate. Ample texture is felt in the mid-mouth, while rich tannins, lingering coffee and charred beef bring satiation to the finish.

Among Opolo’s impressive Reserve wines is the Rhapsody Bordeaux blend. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc and Malbec make this wine one of the heavy hitters to enjoy with a steak dinner or to cellar for special occasions.

All three wines are a great way to taste Opolo’s best offerings and make for romantic sipping on Valentine’s Day or as the perfect gift.

Pairings on the Patio are available daily from 11am until 4pm.

Enjoy charcuterie trays, salads, and scrumptious wood-fired pizza.

Right next door to the tasting room, check out Opolo’s distillery, Willow Creek, which features top-shelf fruit brandies and premium quality liqueurs made from locally farmed and sourced fruits, nuts and flavorings.

The Inn at Opolo Just across the hill from the tasting room is The Inn at Opolo, where three room choices await your stay.

TripAdvisor and Yelp websites both rate the Inn with five stars. Terrace views, king-sized beds with Italian linens, remote-controlled fireplaces, stone showers, large bathtubs with massaging jets, plush towels, robes and slippers, and freshly baked cookies are just some of the amenities. A Mediterranean kitchen with an assortment of made-to-order breakfasts (eggs benedict, anyone?) and appetizers in the evening with a bottle of Opolo wine helps make everyone feel right at home.

Opolo’s Romance, Celebration and Relaxation package is available now: Stay two nights and get one night free! Club members can also receive 10 percent off their room rate.

ALLEGRETTO VINEYARD RESORT A GRAND AND REFINED HAVEN Allegretto Vineyard Resort has redefined the typical hotel stay.

Easily accessible just off Highway 46 East at Buena Vista Drive in Paso Robles, guests can discover a unique and experiential oasis.

Owner Douglas Ayres has merged artistry and artifacts reminiscent of his travels in South America, Asia and Europe to recreate the beauty and serenity of ancient spaces found throughout the world.

“People often enter ancient spaces and are in awe, but they don’t know why exactly,” said Ayres. “There are reasons, but most people just feel a sense of peace and joy. That’s what we want for the Allegretto. We want guests to feel connected to their space, to the past, and to one another, whether they understand the mechanics of it or not.”

A Sense of Direction Rich in symbolism, the compass rose fountain at the entrance signifies the cardinal point from which to begin one’s journey. In the lobby, pulverized marble walls meet a fiber optic chandelier in view of the ceiling painted with sevenstring lyres that represent heavenly awakening many wisdom traditions. A nearby cross-section of a fallen giant Sequoia provides the visible timeline of human and natural history.

Within its rings include chronological references to the Great Wall of China, birth of Christ and two world wars.

Inside, a grand fireplace and twin staircases accented with black wrought iron and sculptural muses invite exploration.

The fountain centered within the 12,000-square-foot Piazza Magica is natural river stone from China and represents the womb of creation and connectedness between heaven and earth. In the East Garden, the Romeo and Juliet Tunnel represents the unity of families joined by marriage.

Tailored landscaping, a stone fireplace and a cozy sitting area tempt visitors to linger for a glass and a chat in view of tiled roofs, plastered walls and mission-style arches. Other artistic highlights on the property include a five-foot stone polished to a beautiful sheen by river waters over 5,000 years, courtesy of a river in India, a towering Siddhartha statue and the Virgin of Guadalupe.

TACKITT FAMILY VINEYARDS WARRIORS OF THE EOD WARRIOR FOUNDATION Tackitt Family Vineyards in San Miguel is a familyowned and dog-friendly boutique winery that specializes in handcrafted premium wines. Sourced from local vineyards, Tackitt creates a variety of red and white wines, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Barbera, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc, their family tradition Gewürztraminer wine and more.

Winemaker Leon Tackitt and his wife Cindy Tackitt take a close-knit approach to their relationship with wine and community, and it shows. Leon’s former U.S. Navy career specialty in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) might seem a world away from winemaking, but nothing could be further from the truth. At Tackitt Family Vineyards, Leon has found the perfect springboard to help support the military veteran community through his involvement with a nonprofit organization called EOD Warrior Foundation.

EOD Warrior Foundation seeks to honor and equip veterans

through memorials, scholarships, health and welfare, financial support for families, Gold Star family retreats, PTSD and traumatic injury-related rehabilitation and more. Every year, Leon and his crew do their best to keep the bar high for the quality of their winemaking, but exceeding their philanthropic goals are vital.

“We have great news to share about our Warrior Brosé wine release last summer,” said Leon. “We’ve raised $12,000 toward providing a veteran with a service animal. This wine was made in memory of one of my best friends from the Navy, CDR Kevin Childre, a staunch supporter of the EOD Warrior Foundation.

Kevin was killed in a freak bicycle accident over three years ago.

We teamed up with his wife to produce this wine in his honor.”

In 2017, the winery raised $44,339 to benefit the nonprofit EOD Warrior Foundation. In April 2018, Tackitt raised $50,000. On April 12, 2019, Leon hopes to multiply that number times ten with the help of the community and visitors who support the Warrior Foundation through Tackitt’s EOD line of wines and a fun, new project in the works, called Blaster’s Garage.

Blaster’s Garage “A good friend of mine, Eric Symonds, and I started a YouTube series called Blaster’s Garage. Our main goal is to raise $500,000 for the EOD Warrior Foundation and Quality of Life Plus organizations. Both support our veterans,” said Leon. “We are rebuilding a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser and selling 5,000 raffle tickets at $100 apiece. The truck is going to be magnificent!”

Blaster’s Garage is sharing their progress on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. “Our secondary goal is to highlight our veterans. We try and single one out to interview and showcase during an episode, he emphasized. “We’re also highlighting the organizations and the great things they are doing for our veterans. As a 27-year veteran, it gives me great pleasure to support our veterans as much as we can.”

VINA ROBLES VINEYARDS & WINERY If you seek a unique wine tasting experience, then Vina Robles Vineyards and Winery is the right place for you. The property provides various ways to tailor your experience to meet your own individual interests and desires. You could relax with a glass of Vina Robles’ wine in one of their distinctive tasting areas, such as the hospitality center, where you can pair your wine with great food or enjoy a glass watching live music in their outdoor amphitheater under the stars. Known for their Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, Vina Robles Vineyards and Winery is designed to allow people to enjoy their expressive and approachable estate wines in a unique and memorable way.

Wine Made for Wide-Spread Appeal The two Swiss families that own Vina Robles have been in the winemaking business for 20 years and want their estate wines to reflect the unique appeal of Paso Robles wines.

Winemaker Kevin Willenborg makes his estate wines in small lots with minimal intervention. He blends traditional winemaking methods with modern technologies to produce creative blends. One of Vina Robles’ wines to look for is a new release, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon; it received 91 points from Tasting Panel Magazine.

Other wines to look for in the Vina Robles tasting room include: • 2017 Chardonnay from Mistral Vineyard, Monterey.

Described as having a rich finish with hints of lemon, golden apple and caramel. Perfect with white Stilton cheese and an apricot crostini.

• 2017 Rosé from Huerhuero Vineyard. Described as having rich plum and red cherry flavors and hints of honey. Can be paired with prosciutto and pistachio flavored items.

• 2015 Zinfandel from Huerhuero Vineyards. Having a juicy finish with hints of black pepper. Can be eaten with cranberry pork sausage to highlight the flavors.

• 2015 Syrée with a creamy texture and dark cherry, raspberry and plum flavors. Perfect with smoked prime rib.

• 2012 Segredo with a rich bodied flavor. This can be paired with a dark chocolate flourless cake or brownie.

VINA ROBLES LOOKING TO THE FUTURE With all six of its estate vineyards SIP Certified Sustainable, and a new winery that adheres to these same principles, Vina Robles is committed to environmental stewardship. Fruit from the 2018 harvest this Fall was the first to be crushed at the new winery, where state-of-the-art technologies support Kevin’s hands-on methods to ultimately create wine of enhanced quality.

The winery is not open to the general public, however all will be invited to an open house in the Spring of 2019.

You can taste indoors sitting by the fireplace or sip your wine at a bistro table on the patio. The tasting room features wines from the Estate Series and the Limited Edition Estate Collection. Tastings include five wine choices. Group tastings can be held for 10 people or more.

If you want to go beyond the traditional wine tasting experience, Vina Robles provides wine and food pairings Thursday through Sunday from 11am to 3pm. Simply contact the hospitality center to sign up. You will have a chance to try four courses of small plates of gourmet food paired with Vina Robles’ Limited Estate Collection wines. This is a great way for someone new to wine or wine lovers to learn more about pairing their favorite wines with the perfect food. The wine and food experience costs $70 for the general public, and $55 for Signature Club members. Reservations are required 48 hours in advance.

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

11th Annual Wine 4 Paws, April 6-7: Fundraiser For Woods Humane Society

Big plans are underway for the 11th Annual Wine 4 Paws Weekend. With almost 100 wineries on board, we’re expecting great things.

For this year’s weekend, we will have Earth & Fire Brewers in Paso Robles on board again, with others in the works.

Olivas de Oro, offering estate Olive Oil, has moved to Tin City and will be donating 10% of all sales for the weekend.

We’re kicking off the weekend on Friday, April 5th with a Block Party hosted by some of our downtown Paso Robles Tasting Rooms! More info to come; details will be added to www.wine4paws.com and the Wine 4 Paws Facebook page.

On Saturday and Sunday, April 6 and 7, Wine 4 Paws is at participating Tasting Rooms from San Luis Obispo to San Miguel, making it easy to visit any winery you like.

Visit your favorites, or find a new one – we have lots of fantastic wineries to choose from. In this County-wide event, each participating winery contributes to Wine 4 Paws in different ways - some donate 100% of tasting fees, others donate a percentage of sales for the weekend. Many do something unique and exciting to represent their passion for this cause, including live music, food, special wine pairings, art, wine specials and other fun stuff.

Visit www.wine4paws.com for a list of participating wineries as well as details on all the fun things going on just for Wine 4 Paws. Woods Humane Society cares for over 3,000 cats and dogs each year at their facilities in San Luis Obispo and Atascadero until they can be united with loving families. In November of 2018, they opened the first North County low-cost spay and neuter clinic at their location in Atascadero. This clinic can be utilized by any pet owner. How can you ensure that Woods can continue to offer our community animals the highest level of care? By participating in Wine 4 Paws!

When you head out to enjoy our wineries during Wine 4 Paws on April 6 & 7, you can help the animals at Woods by simply tasting wine and taking home your favorite bottles!

Wine 4 Paws began in 2009 as a way to help raise money for Woods Humane Society while promoting the Central Coast Wine Region. It has grown from the initial 35 wineries to almost 100! Overall, Wine 4 Paws has raised almost $350,000 for Woods.

Woods Humane Society is a nonprofit organization which receives no tax funds, but is supported by donations, grants, bequests, fundraising events and fees for services. Woods is independent of San Luis Obispo County Animal Services, but works in close cooperation with them and other animal groups in the county for the welfare of all animals. As part of their commitment to work towards ending pet overpopulation, not only is every animal at Woods spayed or neutered, they also provide low-cost spay and neuter services for San Luis Obispo County Animal Services, many other local rescue organizations and for owned animals in the county. The Humane Education Program offers a wide range of activities for tots to teens and provides insight and enrichment for the next generation of animal advocates. Their full-time Training and Behavior Coordinator provides expert care for dogs in our adoption program as well as dog obedience training classes for the public, designed to keep pets in their homes and out of shelters. Financial support from donors and the dedication of the staff and hundreds of volunteers ensure the success of our work.

Director Sarah Tomasetti said, “Every

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

year as the event grows, I’m reminded of what an amazing community we live in.

These wineries are always so excited to participate and are always looking at new ways to promote the event and raise more money. And the people who come out to for the weekend are so dedicated to the event. Every year we have people who plan a visit to the area just for Wine 4 Paws!”

We have a free map with passport available from the Wine 4 Paws website, or at any participating winery during the event.

When you visit a winery and help generate a donation, get your passport stamped.

Once it’s full you can turn it in to any participating winery for entry in the Wine 4 Paws Drawing.

To see the full list of participating wineries and a get a free printable map and passport, go to www.wine4paws.com.

Then head out to the wineries during the weekend of April 6 - 7. A portion of your sale or your full tasting fee will be donated to Woods Humane Society on behalf of the wineries!

More than 200 wineries produce critically acclaimed vintages in Paso Robles, Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley. Visitors can head out along the gorgeous country roads to sip their way through the vineyards.

San Luis Obispo’s unusual natural beauty, along with its gentle climate, first attracted the Spanish padres to the area in the 1700s. In 1772, they built the fifth of California’s 21 missions Too Paso Pas aso Ro Robless (26 m mi miles ) MO

here, on the banks of San Luis Creek, and named it Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa.

Today, many consider this the most beautiful of the Spanish missions.

t’s no wonder the people here call it SLO. No one is in any hurry in the cafes or on the sidewalks, and certainly no one is in any rush to leave. Strangers are genuinely friendly, always ready to talk about their favorite hiking trail or barbecue joint, or to point the way to the winery with the best Pinot Noir. It’s all part of the SLO life, that combination of good stuff that makes visiting here so nourishing to the soul.

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

2019 Paso Robles Wine Country Events Announced, Tickets On Sale Tickets for Paso Robles Wine Country’s marquee events are now on sale at www.pasowine.com. The annual celebration of Paso’s heritage variety, Vintage Paso: Zinfandel Weekend is scheduled for March 15-17. Paso Robles’ signature wine event, the Paso Robles Wine Festival celebrates its 37th year on May 16-19.

Now is the time to plan, for Paso Wine, in 2019.

Vintage Paso: Zinfandel Weekend begins on Friday, March 15 with Zinposium, a Zin-focused seminar in downtown Paso Robles at the Paso Robles Inn Ballroom. Moderated by iconic winemaker, Neil Collins, owner and winemaker of Lone Madrone, a panel of winemakers will discuss dry farming Zinfandel and Zin blended wines. This seated tasting is guaranteed to be educational and entertaining.

In the evening, the ballroom transforms into a lounge atmosphere for Z After Party. Join up to 20 Paso wineries for a savory walk-around Zinfandel tasting, complemented by a fantastic selection of desserts and live jazz. This intimate tasting is sure to sell out with 80 seats for Zinposium and 175 tickets for Z After Party. Advance purchase only.

Zinfandel Weekend continues on Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17 with more than 100 wineries holding their own individual events throughout Paso Robles Wine Country. Visit www.pasowine.com to search by winery, activity or day to plot a course for Zin. The Paso Robles Wine Festival returns May 16-19 with the 37th annual celebration of everything Paso Robles wine. Wine Fest kicks-off Thursday, May 16 with Winemaker Dinners, each featuring multiple winemakers at the table with their wines paired with the cuisine of two iconic Paso Robles restaurants, Thomas Hill Organics and The Hatch. On Friday, May 17, RESERVE delights a limited gathering of wine and food lovers with Library, Reserve, White/Rosé, and Barrel Sample wines, complemented by fresh and local gourmet bites.

The following day, Saturday, May 18, begins with a Winemaker Seminar. The topic is under wraps for now but promises to be a fun discussion and tasting. The day culminates with the Wine Festival Grand Tasting in the Paso Robles Downtown City Park.

This unique outdoor tasting features 70+ wineries arranged by “regions” (Bordeaux-style, Rhône-style, Zinfandel, Burgundianstyle, Italian varieties, and Other Wild Wines) with wineries pouring their best. In the picnic area and gazebo, live music will provide the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a beautiful summer day sipping Paso Robles wines.

Back by popular demand, the 2019 Wine Festival will feature complimentary food tasting from the region’s best chefs and caterers. Visit www.pasowine.com often to see updates on who will be sampling their delicious creations. Creativity abounds with the return of a limited lineup of handpicked artisan merchants.

These entrepreneurs will offer a selection of unique local and wine country themed products.

Sunday, May 19 of Wine Festival weekend encourages people to travel beyond the Park to explore more than 100 winery events throughout the weekend including winemaker dinners, live music, barrel samples, and so much more!

Louis Glunz II in front of a beer delivery wagon circa 1900

Steve and Matt Glunz harvesting their Estate Zinfandel

GLUNZ FAMILY WINERY & CELLARS

The first thing one notices when talking with Stephan Glunz is his enthusiasm about what he does for a living, which is grow grapes, make great wine, and tell folks about it.

Glunz Family Winery & Cellars may seem somewhat new to Paso Robles, but the commitment to making the best wine is evident in passion and an unshakable work ethic.

Brothers Matt and Steve Glunz are two of ten siblings. Raised in Illinois, they are each hands-on in every aspect of the operation, from the vineyard to production to marketing. The Glunz family story goes all the way back to 1888, when great-grandfather Louis Glunz emigrated from his native Westphalia, Germany, to Chicago, where he delivered beer to prominent brewery Wacker & Birk and learned the ropes before beginning his own family company.

“I worked in the bottling line at age five, but it was the opposite of intimidating” Steve recalled. “We’re a fifth-generation family business. Our father, Joseph Glunz, worked in the wholesale end of the business, which had been very successful. He sold J. Lohr wines in Chicago and became familiar with Paso Robles wines. In 1992, Matt and I began our winery with small-batched fortified wines. My father thought we were crazy to pick up stakes and move to California, but at age 79, he’s blending for us now,” laughed Steve.

“There’s no nepotism here. In our family, if you wanted to work in the family business, you have to learn from others and work outside the family business for at least five years,” Steve confirmed.

“No one is handed the keys; we work for everything. In this way, members can blaze their own trails by exposure to employment on the “outside” before they apply for positions within the business.”

The first fruits in Paso “Our first harvest was in 2012 and our tasting room opened in 2014. The most important part is what happens in the vineyard. We source the best grapes to produce the best wines,” said Steve. “We source 90 percent of our grapes from Central California. Between 60 and 70 percent come from Paso Robles. A few of the vineyards

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

we source from are the Dante Dusi Vineyard in Templeton, Spanish Springs Vineyard near Pismo Beach, Greengate Vineyard in Edna Valley, and White Hawk Vineyard near Cat Canyon in Santa Barbara County.” All this with a price point between $20 and $40 per bottle.

Among the cellar-worthy standouts are the Wells & Division Red Blend (big fruit structure and a toasted oak finish) and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (two small-berry clones of the best handsorted fruit, aged 18 months, then finished with 8 percent Petit Verdot). The flagship, Mission Angelica, is a Solera-style fortified wine that’s aged in oak for an average of 25 years.

Glunz wines are available in the tasting room and North San Luis Obispo County restaurants, including The Loading Chute, Catch, and BL Brasserie. Several Albertsons supermarket locations also carry Glunz Zinfandel and Cabernet wines.

“What we pour in the tasting room is what we love and what we produce,” added Steve. “This truly is a labor of love.” >> MELISSA CHAVEZ

Glunz Wine Club Wine Club members receive 20 percent off all purchases made in the tasting room and through the winery website. Order options are: Club Paso (three wines shipped three times per year), Club 1888 (six wines shipped three times per year), or Tastevin Society (12 wines shipped three times per year with free shipping).

Accolades 2015 Syrah/Mourvedre/Grenache - 91 points, Robert Parker 2015 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - 90 points, Vinous 2016 Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel - 90 points, Robert Parker Mission Angelica - 2016 and 2017 Central Coast Wine Competition, Best of Class During the winter, try Glunz wines at the Tasting Room located at 8331 Highway 46 East in Paso Robles seven days a week, from 10am to 5pm.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING? NOT WITH SANTA YNEZ VALLEY THE NINTH ANNUAL FOODIE CELEBRATION THROUGH FEBRUARY 10 An additional week and a fresh mix of participating restaurants, wineries, and lodging options promises to make the 2019 Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Weeks the best yet.

Through Feb. 10, the 2019 Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Weeks returns for a ninth consecutive year by once again enticing food lovers from near and far with special pricing and the same farmto-table fare that has long made this Central Coast wine country destination a haven for foodies. For just $20.19, all are invited to savor specially curated three-course tasting menus from the Valley’s top dining establishments.

The most noticeable difference this year, though, is that the Santa Ynez Valley’s annual celebration of local food has been extended from one week to two at the request of diners and restaurateurs alike.

“We continually heard from local restaurants and from diners that the only way to improve Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Weeks is to offer more of it,” said Shelby Sim, President/CEO of Visit the Santa Ynez Valley. “The event has been successful from year one, expanding well beyond what can be fit into just one week. It is exciting to continue to see it grow.”

Blessed with an abundance of imaginative local chefs, deep agricultural roots and a collaborative culinary scene, dining in the fertile Santa Ynez Valley is an attraction all to itself and a perfect pairing with the region’s world-class wines. The region’s

34

cuisine is unique and diverse, ranging from traditional Scandinavian feasts to contemporary and innovative fare.

Representing each of the Santa Ynez Valley’s six distinct communities, 32 restaurants are participating in Restaurant Weeks in 2019. In addition to the offerings of the Valley’s restaurants, many Santa Ynez Valley wineries will offer wine and small bite pairings in their tasting rooms for $20.19. And special lodging deals are available at hotels throughout the Valley.

Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Week menus do not include tax, tip or beverages, and reservations are strongly encouraged. For the latest updates on Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Weeks, including menus and dining hours, visit www.DineSYV.com.

About the Santa Ynez Valley: Barely two hours from Los Angeles and a scenic four hour drive from San Francisco, the Santa Ynez Valley feels worlds apart from both. With six distinct communities encompassing everything from classic California wine country to Northern European traditions to the very best of the Old West, the Santa Ynez Valley is home to endless possibilities. Here in and around the towns of Ballard, Buellton, Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Santa Ynez and Solvang visitors will find more than 100 wineries, incredible food, special events and a unique, rich heritage. For more information, including a complete listing of wedding venues, restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms and events, go to VisitSYV.com.

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

Santa Maria Costa de Oro Tasting Room Costa de Oro Tasting Room is located right off of Highway 101 in Santa Maria. This site pays tribute to the history behind Costa De Oro — it was the strawberry stand for Gold Coast Farms, the parent company of Costa De Oro, which has been farming Santa Maria since 1978. Gold Coast Vineyard was planted to 20 acres of Pinot Noir and 10 acres of Chardonnay in 1989, and these grapes were sold to the area’s best wineries — including Au Bon Climat. Gary Burk­­, Costa de Oro co-owner and winemaker, was fortunate to work in the winery with Jim Clendenen from 1994-2002, and during this time he began to make his own wine. Gary started with just one barrel of Chardonnay and one barrel of Pinot Noir.

Today, Costa de Oro produces more than 6000 cases featuring Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the estate — Gold Coast Vineyard. At the 2017 Central Coast Wine Competition their Estate Chardonnay won “Best of Show” and their Estate Pinot Noir received a “Gold Medal.” The best place to experience the wines is at the tasting room, where guests can taste five wines for only $10.

Live Music In addition to their regular tasting room hours (normally 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily), they have music three nights a week...Thursday

5-7 p.m. (Classical), Friday evening, “Friday Night Wine Downs” featuring live music from local musicians & $12 food plates available. Then on Saturdays they have acoustic music 3 to 5 p.m.

Kegs Another facet to the Costa de Oro portfolio is their “Wine on Tap.” Kegged wine, wine stored and shipped inside five gallon kegs instead of bottles, has been gaining popularity throughout the past several years. Costa de Oro started kegging wine for high-end accounts, like Roy’s Hawaii. Now these wines, a white and a red, are available in the tasting room by the glass and by the growler (these can be refilled). Costa de Oro wine club members receive discounts on keg wines, bottled wines and merchandise.

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

Coquelicot Estate Vineyard Come For The Wine-Enjoy the Fun! My first thought entering Coquelicot’s tasting room in Los Olivos, was “WOW~! THIS is going to be great.” Being greeted by Laurie as I stepped over the threshold, her enthusiasm and bubbly personality instantly set the tone for what was to come: A great time wine tasting, lots of fun and feeling instantly welcomed.

Laurie, with her smile, sense of humor and friendliness is like a bottle of bubbly-full of zest, ready to pour, spreading cheer all around and making certain you have a fun and memorable visit.

Wine and Time Coquelicot’s philosophy is simple: To make approachable, well regarded wine, and sell it when ready to drink, and do they deliver! Wines are aged and not released until ready to “pop n pour.” Coquelicot wants you to be able to enjoy your wine immediately! Reviewing their tasting menu, you will see, and be treated to, a variety of wines from as far back as the 2011 vintage; drinkable now, but certainly age worth.

All of the wines are produced from estate grown grapes, which are not only organically grown on the 58 acres (receiving CCOF Certification* in 2010), but are also vegan friendly! *CCOF: California Certified Organic Farmers: Meeting standards established by the USDA National Organic Program.

The Tasting Experience Choose your tasting from either the “Winemaker’s Flight” or the “Reserve Winemaker’s Flight.” Whichever you select, you can’t go wrong and each includes Coquelicot’s flagship “Mon Amour Estate blend.”

The intimate tasting room is a space to meet other likeminded fans as you sip at the bar or elongated table. On a nice afternoon, you may want to wander outside, relax in the garden area, and maybe try your hand at bocce ball, corn hole or ping pong.

Whichever you choose, you will enjoy the ambience and vibe of the location, staff and of course: The wines!

complimentary tastings and member only special events, club members receive special discounts at the winery’s several affiliated restaurants and lodgings throughout California (including the First & Oak Restaurant and Mirabelle Inn, both in Solvang). From Central California up to the Bay Area, you may enjoy Coquelicot’s hospitality and friendliness in wine, food and lodging.

Visit the tasting room 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week to experience wines “that are a true celebration of life,” at 2884 Grand Ave, Los Olivos, 93441.

The Garagiste Wine Festival, which was named America’s Best Wine Festival by USA Today, returns February 8-10 to Solvang, which was named One of America’s 10 Best Small Historic Towns

by USA Today.

This marks the seventh year that the Garagiste Festival: Southern Exposure has showcased the wines of some of California’s best small-production winemakers in one of California’s most charming small towns, which is celebrating its 107th anniversary this year.

Solvang is in the heart of the renowned Santa Ynez Valley wine country, just north of picturesque Santa Barbara.

“America’s best wine festival meets one of America’s best historic small towns for the seventh year in a row…what could make for a better wine country weekend?” said Garagiste Festival Co-founder Doug Minnick. “There is a special place in our hearts for Solvang, and for the amazing small-production winemakers who pour at this venue. Solvang, and the beautiful Veteran’s Memorial Hall, lend such a charming and intimate setting for attendees to chat and taste with the winemakers and owners who will be pouring their hard-to-find wines. We love the diversity of the wines poured here, with multiple micro-climates, grape varieties and innovative blends represented.”

More than 40 winemakers from Santa Barbara County and across California converge at Solvang’s Mission-style Veterans’ Memorial Hall to pour more than 150 wines over three days of events which include the continuation of the festival’s “Original Garagiste” seminars, moderated by Garagiste Festival Co-founder and KRUSH radio host, Stewart McLennan, and, this year featuring Central Coast winemaking legend Ken Brown of Ken Brown Wines.

“We are proud to lead off our main event with a one-on-one discussion and tasting with Ken Brown – a true original ‘garagiste’ many years before micro-production winemaking became a movement,’ said McLennan. “Ken was one of the first to recognize the cool climate potential of this region back in the ’70s and to craft delicious wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay right here in Santa

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

Carivintâs Winery A wine tasting experience at Carivintâs in Solvang is designed to be relaxed and inviting. The tasting room is a family and pet friendly place. Carivintâs wants customers to enjoy their wines in an environment that will make everyone, even the family dog, happy.

A Tasting Room Made for Comfort Carivintâs created their tasting room with a goal in mind. They started by asking themselves a question, “What would prevent people from going wine tasting on a regular basis?” They came up with several answers, which included the fact that it is difficult to take children to a tasting room that has a formal or stuffy atmosphere. Another reason people might not find it easy to go wine tasting is the fact that some tasting rooms don’t welcome pets. The family dog would have to stay at home alone. And the final reason Carivintâs representatives thought that people might be dissuaded from a wine tasting experience was the hours.

Longer hours could accommodate more people.

With these ideas in mind, Carivintâs designed a tasting room to address these concerns. For children, the tasting room has puzzles, legos, and coloring books, as well as fast internet. For dogs, the tasting room offers beds, water and treats. And for those wishing to visit a tasting room later on in the evening, Carivintâs is open most days until 7 p.m.

A Wide Variety of Wines In Carivintâs tasting room you will find many wines to choose from. Winemaker Fleet Hamilton produces wines from many different varietals including Barbera, Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Viognier, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Sauvignon Blanc.

Some of the new releases in the tasting room include: 2017 Rosé, barrel fermented, with aromas of strawberries, wildflowers and quince.

2013 Syrah aged 5 years in 30% new American oak, a wine with aromas of, vanilla, black cherry, and smoky oak.

Carivintâs Winery Tasting Room is located at 476 First Street in Solvang. For more information, call (805)693-4331 or visit www. Carivintâs.com. The tasting room is open: Monday - Friday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. (closed Tuesday) Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Wine with a Philanthropic Bent One of the things that makes Carivintas special is its emphasis on philanthropy. When you visit the tasting room you might notice the many pictures of dogs and other animals adorning the walls and even the labels on the wine bottles. Many of Carivintâs wines, the ones that feature dogs or horses namedMon-Fri. Lillie or 12-7 Oz Sat-Sun 11-7 on the label, serve as a way to raise money for organizations that support animals. A part of the proceeds from the sale of these wines goes to organizations like Old Yeller Ranch Rescue, Shadow’s Fund, and Return to Freedom, an American Wild Horse Sanctuary.

In 2008, Robert and Barbara Wagner achieved their dream of opening a winery. Since then, the husband and wife team have never looked back. Magnavino Cellars is a great place to visit for fantastic wine, and a perfect location to gather with friends and share conversation, smiles and laughter. At Magnavino Cellars, wine is a celebration of life and love, and Robert and Barbara strive to make each guest’s experience enjoyable.

The passion they have for their vines is admirable. In the cellar, they work with stainless steel, and American and French oak barrels to achieve the flavor profile and complexity they desire for their wines. The result is award-winning wines with beautiful characteristics. In the past three years, Magnavino Cellars has won sixty-five medals from international wine competitions – including two time “Best of Class” for the 2010/2011 Petite Sirah at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, a Platinum medal for the Old Vine Zinfandel and many Gold and Silver medals at other competitions.

The tasting room is inspired by ancient Italian villas that cover the landscape in Italy. Here, friends and family gather to share the experience of great wine and good company. In fact, the tasting room is so beautiful that Magnavino Cellars often hosts events to bring friends and family together for celebratory occasions. Guests can even book the tasting room for private events and enjoy Magnavino wine in the luxury of this glorious space.

Taste everything from unique varietals such as Symphony and Viognier, to classic varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Malbec. Whichever wines you taste, your palate will will enjoy the fine craftsmanship in every bottle.
