EBERLE WINERY THE LEGACY CONTINUES EBERLE WINERY 1979-2019 CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF FINE WINEMAKING
A Paso Robles ‘Legacy’ Gary Eberle was awarded the Robert Mondavi Hospitality Award. The distinction, established in 1999, recognizes pioneers in all aspects of the hospitality industry. The award carries with it special meaning for Eberle, as it shares company with its first honoree, Robert Mondavi. The accolade coincides with Eberle Winery’s 40th year and helped to kick off “Legacy,” a conglomeration of awards, seminars, wine tastings and dinners to celebrate Gary’s 46-year vision and tireless work in support of the Paso Robles wine industry. Libbie Agran, director of the San Luis Obispo Wine History Project, spotlighted Gary’s achievements at the celebration and announced other events, including museumquality installations and insightful, educational seminars. To commemorate Gary’s 40th year, 2019 will also feature “Legacy” Eberle Cabernet Sauvignon and a July 13 Gala at the winery. Among Eberle’s premier vintages are the Cotes-du-Robles

(Blanc and Rouge), Estate and Reserve Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Barbera, Sangiovese, Muscat, and delicious Viognier wines, including a Special Release Winemaker Series of Viognier Liqueur and Eberle’s sought-after 2013 Vintage Port.
Always a Team Effort In the 1970s, Gary not only established Estrella River Winery, the first commercial winery in Paso Robles, he was the first winemaker to create California’s first Syrah varietal wine. Together, Gary and winemakers Tom Meyer, Vic Roberts, and land developer-turned-grower Herman Schwartz combined their expertise to develop the Paso Robles AVA in 1982, and they debuted Paso’s first Wine Festival the following year. Visitors from all over who visit Eberle Winery who meet and chat with Gary not only learn a lot about wine, they leave pleasantly surprised to find the most accessible, gracious and unpretentious winemaker around. Gary’s hospitality is wellknown, and he freely gives away the credit to fellow vintners when talking about the wine Gary and Marcy Eberle appellation he helped develop.

“There are 30 different soil series across the Paso Robles AVA,” said Gary, who received his Enology degree at U.C. Davis following his college football heyday at Penn State under Joe Paterno. “That quality, combined with the long growing season, large diurnal swing, and different microclimates, affords us the ability to create a multitude of different wines that cannot be pigeonholed into one definable category.”
Mondavi’s Mentorship Throughout his career, Gary learned by both doing and listening to sound advice. When California State Fair presented Gary the Wine Lifetime Achievement Award four years ago, it was an honor that he took to heart. His own winemaking inspiration, Robert Mondavi, was the first to receive that distinction. “Robert Mondavi was my mentor,” said Gary, who listened intently when the two conversed under the arch of Mondavi’s Napa Valley winery. “He knew how to make wine, but he taught me the business side of how to really sell wine.” Marcy Eberle, who works alongside her husband, wholeheartedly agrees. “The fact that we are one of the highest award-winning wineries in the country is huge,” said Marcy. “The reality that he truly loves every day of his life being a part of Eberle – not too many people get to live life like this. I’m so proud of him and his legacy.” In Gary’s economy, business is built on relationship. True to form, Gary can be found at the winery on any given day, immersed in cheerful conversation about the region in which he’s invested his life. “Paso Robles doesn’t have to play second fiddle to anyone,” Gary said, with a smile. “We can be really proud of what we make.”

Getting to Know
ROSÉ June 8 is Nation al Rosé D ay
H
istorically, many of the first-made wines were light-colored field blends of both white and red grape varieties. In the sixth century BC, the Phoenicians brought grape vines from Greece to what is known as modern-day Marseille in southern France. The wines produced from these vines were naturally light in color and word spread of this pleasant wine around the Mediterranean. When the Romans landed in Provence, they used their trade networks to popularize these wines throughout the south of France and henceforth many consider the epicenter of rosé to be in this region of the world. Rosé, however, isn’t from a specific region or grape. It’s a genre of wine, like red wine and white wine. The biggest producers of this style are France, Spain, Italy and the United States. Several other places of the world also make excellent rosé including South America, Germany and Australia. These pretty wines are known by other several names including rosado, rosato, blanc de noir, vin gris and blush. The wines may also have a name using the single grape variety from which they are made, such as White Zinfandel, White Grenache, Pinot Noir Blanc or White Merlot. Most rosé wines are blends of multiple grapes. Some of the most common grape varieties used in dry/European-style rosé are Grenache, Sangiovese, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cinsault and Pinot Noir. While there have been rosés made in the European style throughout the American winemaking history, it wasn’t until the end of the 20th century that “pink wines” became a truly significant segment of the American wine market. Like the romantic fascination of the French baguette and beret, rosé has been adopted into American culture with charm. Over the years, it has become a quality wine choice with an unpretentious and delicious flavor for many palettes and continues to be a favorite choice for many people today. California, in particular, is making beautiful rosés that can rival some of the best in the world.
12
0519 CC.indd 12
A symbol of glamour and leisure, rosé was once the wine of choice for aristocrats and the powerful elite of 14th Century Europe. It was actually considered quite posh to dilute a wine and the preference toward pink was considered a sign of a more refined palate.

how rosé is made Winemakers use nearly all types of grape varietals to produce rosé. And, it can be made still, semi-sparkling or sparkling with a range of sweetness levels. There are basically three ways to make rosé wine. The main style used for making rosé as a primary wine is called the maceration method. It is a method of letting the juice stay in contact with the grape’s skin for a period of time ranging from two hours to a couple of days depending on the producer and winemaker’s choice. The longer the skins are left sitting in the juice, the darker the color of the finished rosé and the more the wine will take on the tannin structure found in red wines. After the time with skin contact, the grape’s juice is strained from the solid matter, called “must”, and fermentation begins. Another method is called Saignée, pronounced “san-yay”. This method consists of taking the juice from the first part of the red wine process and putting it into its own vat. This is a common methodology in regions that produce fine red wines like Napa and Sonoma. The purpose of bleeding off the juice not only produces a lovely rosé but it also concentrates the red wines’ intensity. Lastly, the blending method is used when a bit of red wine is added to a vat of white wine to make it pink. It doesn’t take much red wine to dye a white wine. This is more common in regions where sparkling wine is produced such as Champagne, France.

swirl, sniff, sip, savor How to identify wine in the glass Most obviously, the tell-tale sign of a rosé wine is from its color: PINK! Other than that, depending on the type of grape the rosé wine is made with will vary the flavor, as will the sweetness level of the wine. For example, a deeply colored Italian Aglianico rosé will bring out lively orange and soft cherry flavors while a pale-colored Grenache rosé from Provence will taste of honeydew melon, lemon and celery. Essentially, there is a range of variance in style of rosé depending on region, grape and sweetness level which will determine slightly different palette characteristics of the wine. Overall, the primary flavors of rosé wines, in general, are strawberry, watermelon, rose petal, hibiscus, honeydew melon and citrus zest. For drier rosé, there is often a pleasant crunchy green flavor similar to celery or rhubarb with a slightly salty finish.
Stephanie Culen is a Certified Sommelier, Wine Scout and Personal Wine Consultant and currently works at Passalacqua Winery in Healdsburg, California. She is a contributing writer for Wine Country This Week, as well as www.whichwinery.com, an online resource for wines and wineries around the world.
What’s in a glass? Would wine in any other glass smell as sweet? There are two types of wine glasses generally used for rosé wines. One option is a stemmed glass with a short bowl and a slightly flared lip. The flared rim glass directs wine to the top of the tongue to help temper the crisp acidity or enhance any sweetness in the wine, depending on the style chosen to imbibe. The round bowl of the glass emphasizes the fruitiness of the wine. The other option is an all-purpose white wine glass since the process of making rosé mostly resembles that of white wine.

Tooth & Nail Winery Feel like storming a castle? Yes, you can! The scenic drive to Tooth & Nail Winery at 3090 Anderson Road is just off Highway 46 West and minutes away from downtown Paso Robles. Voted 2018 “Best Indoor Venue” by California Wedding Day, the striking 9,000-square-foot granite castle structure features an impressive mote accented with river rock. The two-story-tall arched entry reveals a sweeping staircase upon entering, and East and West Club rooftop terraces with grand views of Paso Robles’s westside. At Tooth & Nail Winery, art and wine regularly collide to exhibit a variety of expressions through art-inspired labels. A decidedly edgy and literary vibe is represented throughout building walls and the bottles themselves. Inside the tasting room, wine stewards keep the tastings moving while allowing time for guests to linger while sampling their wines. True to its Rabble Wine Company namesake, the “Rabble” label features single-varietal wines. The Tooth & Nail label offers iterations of Rhône-style GSM, Burgundian and Bordeaux-style wines. The Stasis label showcases grapes grown in Santa Maria AVA’s Murmur Vineyard, a highdensity, 213-acre parcel in the Solomon Hills subregion, just 12 miles from the ocean. The luxurious Amor Fati, or “love of one’s fate,” capitalizes on wines crafted with concentrated flavor, courtesy of late-season harvests. At press time, the Tooth & Nail Winery tasting room poured its light and bright 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from Sonoma County grapes, fermented in stainless steel, and finished in concrete. The 2017 Stasis Viognier, made with grapes grown in Santa Maria’s Murmur Vineyards, is aged in concrete, new French Oak, exhibits a pleasant minerality.

WINE AND FOOD EXPERIENCES
The 2015 Amor Fati Chardonnay, aged in French oak and softened by malolactic fermentation, exudes a silky palate, and presents ample body and structure among notes of pineapple layered with lemon, toasty oak and marzipan. Wine steward Amie Micklus makes no secret of the fact that this Chardonnay, dubbed “a therapist in a bottle,” is among her personal favorites. Also sourced from Murmur Vineyard is the 2015 Stasis Pinot Noir. This velvety aromatic wine exudes red cherry, rose petals, a touch of spice and a slightly dry finish. Amy describes Rabble’s juicy, fruit-forward 2015 Amor Fati Grenache as “Christmas in a bottle.” Tooth & Nail Winery’s 2016 flagship, The Possessor, is made with Paso Robles grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon (69 percent), Merlot (15 percent), Petit Merlot (10 percent) and Syrah grapes (six percent). A fruit-forward wine, The Possessor has plenty of structure, body, deep berry and plum notes and bright acidity that yields to tannins on the finish. Springtime vintages include the new augmented reality release of Rabble Zinfandel and 2018 Amor Fati Gruner Veltliner (200 cases). The augmented reality label series depicts historical woodblock print images that reference cataclysmic moments in history – from a siren mermaid luring weary pirates to Mount Vesuvius erupting over Pompeii. >> BY MELISSA CHAVEZ

Laetitia Vineyard & Winery JOY - HIGH ON A HILL
The Latin meaning of Laetitia is “joy,” and a visit to Laetitia Vineyard & Winery will fill you with just that. Perched high on a hilltop, just off Highway 101, the tasting room sits surrounded by vineyards: impressive when they are sleeping in the winter, and vibrant as they leaf to green in the spring and summer, then brilliantly morph to vibrant hues of golds, yellows and reds in the fall. Laeitia is always ready to welcome the wine enthusiast, and the “by chance” visitor, to an hour or an afternoon of joyous liquid exploration.

Bubbles and Pinot Taste the Estate! There is an enticing wide selection of wines to choose from during your tasting adventure. Undoubtedly, Laetitia has garnered a reputation as a bubbles and Pinot house, and for good reason! Trust your fun and knowledgeable tasting host to guide you through the wine menu, but be certain to start with a taste of bubbles! Laetitia could be the most prolific producer of sparkling wines
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

Fun and Facts • While visiting Laetitia, take a stroll along the various walking paths or enjoy one of the different seating areas with inviting ocean views while enjoying one of their still wines or bubbles! • Eric Hickey, Winemaker at Laetitia, has been working at the Estate for more than three decades. Eric started in the Cellar under the guidance of his father and grew to embrace a winemaking style that balances Old World tradition with cutting-edge California. Eric consistently produces generous, articulate wines that are true to the character of the Laetitia Estate. in the Central Coast (or California) region, offering seven distinctive “sparklers.” Remaining true to the roots of the Champagne district in France, Laetitia’s sparkling wines are produced under traditional Méthode Champenoise guidelines. Additionally, Laetitia uses a time-honored wooden Coquard press – the same type used throughout France. To their knowledge, this is the only wooden Coquard press in North America. If you happen to be at the winery during crush, you may see the press in use. Pinot Noir is one of the most difficult grapes to grow, and Laetitia excels at growing and producing a line-up of distinctive Pinot Noir wines. There is a choice of six on the current tasting menu. Among the current selection are three single-vineyard, small-production beauties from the 2016 vintage: • La Colline (Wine Enthusiast 93 points) • Les Galets (Wine Enthusiast 96 points) • La Coupelle (Wine Enthusiast 96 points) Of the above, just around 100 cases of each were made, so if you love Pinot, you don’t want to miss out on these exceptional wines that truly reflect the terroir and unique character of the Arroyo Grande AVA.
• SIP Certified – Laetitia is committed to sustainable farming practices, even using goats for weed control. • Laetitia hosts a number of wonderful events through the year for both club members and non-members. Please check out website for the most up to date calendar or join their mailing list. Most of all, there is the wine … and winemaker Eric Hickey is able to share Laetitia’s philosophy with those who come and taste: “Laetitia Estate wines encapsulate the moments, sites and people who pour their lives into ensuring the excellence of every sip.” As you travel the 101 freeway, look for the flags at the entrance to Laetitia, just south of Pismo Beach! Stop, sip and savor the wines and the surrounding vistas.
And More Laetitia may have built a reputation as a “bubbles and Pinot” house, but don’t overlook enjoying their Estate Chardonnays and Nadia label red wines, showing off Bordeaux and Rhône varieties grown in Santa Barbara County. Head winemaker Eric Hickey knows every inch of Laetitia, having started working at the winery in 1988 when he was in high school. Eric’s knowledge of terroir, plus his hands-on and international educational experience, allows him to coax nuances from the grapes to show off differences in terroir and climate. One of the fun aspects of tasting at Laetitia, especially for “wine geeks,” is the opportunity to compare varietals from two different geographic and climatically diverse areas. >> BY DON SONDERLING

Il Cortile Ristorante At 608 12th Street, just steps away from Paso Robles City Park, Il Cortile Ristorante has been making both locals and visitors happy as a top pick for intimate Italian cuisine with homemade pastas in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. It was an unexpected trip to the Central Coast that inspired Chef Santos and his wife Carole MacDonal to seriously consider Paso Robles as the brick-and-mortar location for Chef Santos’s cooking. The restaurant opened in 2010 and has been a perfect fit for the couple ever since. Among Il Cortile’s exciting and varied menu choices are Carpaccio tartufo (beef tenderloin with parmesan fonduta and shaved black truffles), Capesante (seared scallops with seasonal mushrooms, mashed potatoes and fontina fonduta and white truffle oil), Pappardelle al Cinghiale (homemade pappardelle with wild boar ragu), Filetto al Pepe Verde (filet mignon with green peppercorn sauce) and Bisteca (grilled ribeye finished with Olea EVO and sea salt). Vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian menu options are available. Originally from Honduras, Chef Santos established his career in Southern California at the area’s top restaurants, including Giorgio in Malibu and as executive chef at Bridge Restaurant and L’Angolo Café in Los Angeles. In Paso Robles, Chef Santos relies on strong relationships with local sources for fresh produce, meats and grains. His mainstays are handmade pastas in menu offerings in antipasti, primi and secondi courses. Carole’s entertainment industry experience has exposed her to a variety of cuisines in locations throughout the world. At Il Cortile, Carole runs the front of the house and knows many of her repeat guests by name. Carole’s background in her other career as a successful film and television producer includes 35 seasons at the reality-TV adventure “The Amazing Race” and as the executive in charge of production for “The Biggest Loser.” Il Cortile carries a handpicked and formidable selection of Paso Robles AVA and Italian wines. Il Cortile Ristorante has been recognized for its wine program in Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Wine List Awards for the fourth year in a row. A philanthropic-minded business, Team Il Cortile has raised tens of thousands of dollars through its involvement with Tour of Paso cycling event for the Central Coast Cancer Support Community, which provides resources to cancer patients and their families. Il Cortile is open from Sunday through Thursday from 5pm to 10 pm, on Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 11pm, and closed on Tuesdays.

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY
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
D NR
0519 CC.indd 28
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.

Calcareous Vineyard The father-daughter ownership team of Lloyd Messer and Dana Brown began their dream in 2000 of establishing a winery on a scenic westside mountaintop in Paso Robles. When Lloyd passed in 2006, Dana carries on the mission of making wines that reflect the sense of place that her father had wisely chosen.
A Mountaintop View Situated almost 2,000 feet above Peachy Canyon Road, the rustically appealing glass-walled and wood-beamed tasting room overlooks the surroundings of the Salinas Valley. This isn’t a visit to be rushed; instead, it should be lingered upon and savored along with the wine. Cooled by a series of passes known as Templeton Gap, Calcareous Vineyard benefits from reliable ocean influences that work perfectly together with other Mediterranean characteristics in Paso Robles. Rich in limestone, the Calcareous’ outcropping that tops 442 acres nourish grapes that make for satisfying results.
From the Winemaker Winemaker Jason Joyce, a former Cal Poly biochemistry major and biotech researcher, has been making wine for about 12 years. The combination of Calcareous’ ideal soil mix, elevation, climatic influences, vineyard cultivation and Jason’s expertise helped Calcareous’ 2010 Syrah tie for best red wine from among 1,500 wineries at the San Francisco Wine Competition.
32
0519 CC.indd 32
“I try to do everything in a distinct way,” said Jason. “Each wine has its own purpose and place. I don’t play favorites because every day is different.” For spring, Jason suggested four Calcareous Vineyard estate wines that will please most palates. Calcareous Vineyard’s 2018 Vin Gris Cuvée is a rosé that people anticipate drinking. Bright and refreshing, this balanced offering has notes of light berry and stone fruit. Jason’s 2017 Kate’s Vineyard Zinfandel is great representative of the Paso Robles region. Pleasingly deep in color, this Zin, crafted from 30-year-old vines of intensely-rich grapes, weaves rich berry flavor, earthiness, sweetness, spice and soft tannins. Calcareous Vineyard’s 2016 Lloyd, a Bordeaux blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, is hitting its stride this season. Deeply jewel-toned, well-structured and full-bodied with blackberry and sweet cola nuances, each of the four varietals is handled separately after harvest and blended after primary fermentation. The flagship of this estate-grown collection is Calcareous Vineyard’s 2016 Tres Violet. A Double Gold winner by San Francisco Chronicle and 92 points from the Wine Spectator, this sophisticated Rhône-style wine of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah is lush with blueberry, black raspberry, mocha that finish confidently with lasting impressions of structure and minerality.

The Sta. Rita Hills AVA is a special place in Santa Barbara County, where Pinot Noir grapes linger long on the vine and thrive in the coastal fog that characterizes the subregion of the larger Central Coast AVA. On the Lompoc Wine Trail, a selection of Pinot Noirs, Rhône-style wines, and other varietals can be found at LaMontagne Winery, located at 1509 Chestnut Avenue, right in the center of an industrial complex of small wine producers, affectionately dubbed the Lompoc Wine Ghetto. It was a vintner from the esteemed Clos Pepe Vineyards, located in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation, who “encouraged me to make up my own mind” about making the leap into winemaking, said owner Kimberly Smith, who reported that her very first barrel of Pinot Noir was awarded Best in Class by Wall Street Journal. Kimberly credits a dead seabed of diatomaceous earth as one reason why her wines turn out just the way she likes them. “Right here in this region is one of the few diatomaceous earth locations in the world,” said Kimberly. A soft sedimentary rock, diatomaceous earth possesses filtering qualities for crushed, fermented
grapes that enhance the clarity her wine. “Good fruit makes good wine. I’m a diabetic. That’s what led me to go back to school to be a chef. I make wines that are healthy. They have very little sulfites and are below zero in residual sugar,” Kimberly explained.

LaMontagne’s relationship with some of the area’s best vineyards is a key component to creating beautiful wines. For her Pinot Noir wines, they include Quinta del Mar Vineyard in Nipomo, Buona Terra, John Sebastiano, Clos Pepe, and KesslerHaak Vineyard. (Kimberly’s Kessler-Haak Theron wine spends at least 19 months in the barrel.) Kimberly is proud to be associated with her fellow women winemakers in the industry. “Santa Barbara County has more than 25 female winemakers, more than any other county in the state,” said Kimberly, who took part in the Women Winemakers Dinner hosted last March in Solvang. At LaMontagne Winery, wine club members can enjoy two complimentary tastings each month along with early access to new wine releases and tailormade shipments from the current wine lists. Wine club options include three bottles, shipped four times per year with a five percent discount; six bottles, shipped twice per year with a ten percent discount; and twelve bottles, shipped twice per year with a fifteen percent discount. LaMontagne Winery is open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information, call (805) 291-6643 .>> MELISSA CHAVEZ

Photo courtesy of Zaca Mesa Vineyard & Winery Reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting, Los Olivos is a step back in time, with its flagpole in the city center, to the vintage store fronts that beckon you to have a seat and enjoy the scenery. Dating back to 1860, when it was a stop on the western stagecoach route, the town is full of history from its Victorian homes to the many locals with pioneer ancestors. Now a hub for visitors to the county, Los Olivos has a variety of local restaurants, which complement the wine country experience, with their acclaimed wine lists paired with seasonal menus. Encompassing just five blocks, the downtown is very pedestrian friendly, filled with wine tasting rooms intermingled with craft brew tasting, art galleries and boutiques filled with home décor, gifts and apparel. Pack a picnic and head out for the day to the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail! Start your journey at Zaca Station Road, just off of Highway 101 as you head toward Los Alamos on Highway 154. With close to a dozen wineries on the trail, you can leisurely meander throughout the country roads as they wind through an idyllic setting of vineyards, pastures and farm animals. You’ve definitely come to the right place to indulge in the perfect afternoon of wine tasting!

Solvang, Santa Ynez Valley SPRING IN THE SANTA YNEZ VALLEY IS NO ORDINARY BREAK
The region’s acclaimed wines, fresh farm-to-table cuisine, incredible weather, unique events and outdoor activities make for a perfect spring getaway. Nestled on California’s gorgeous Central Coast, the Santa Ynez Valley wine country is a destination where visitors can embrace new beginnings and try something new. In spring, the Santa Ynez Valley offers tastes of the newest vintages and varietals from the region’s wineries — more than 100 in all — and a freshening of the region’s cuisine that is steeped in a farm-to-table movement that has long fueled the region’s creative culinary scene. Also known as the wine country of Santa Barbara County, the Santa Ynez Valley in many ways makes for an ideal spring getaway. The mild coastal climate that nourishes the Santa Ynez Valley’s world-class vineyards and wines typically brings blue skies and temperatures that push into the 70s. The weather is perfect for those emerging from from winter’s chill … ideal for a morning hike through blooming wildflowers and peaking with soaring views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a time to take in the lush greenery surrounding Cachuma Lake, a horseback ride through rolling terrain, a cycling adventure along idyllic country roads or a quiet picnic in a vineyard while savoring the latest vintage. “Spring has always been one of the best times of the year to visit the Santa Ynez Valley,” said Shelby Sim, CEO of Visit the Santa Ynez Valley. “The area is so beautiful as the hills turn emerald green, but more than that, it is a time when everything is possible. The weather is incredible, the wineries are putting forth their newest creations, the food is fresh, and the weather is so inviting for those who yearn to get outdoors.” Spring in the Santa Ynez Valley is also a time for unique events

Ventura County Sun, Sand, History and Wine Fun! haven to come, sit, sip and relax with old and new friends alike, while sampling their assortment of hand crafted award winning wines. On Friday evenings (between 5:00-8:00pm) you can accompany your tasting with a gourmet cheese platter or small bites as you “time travel” to this Italian retreat, even if just for a few hours. Less than 10 minutes from Magnavino, you’ll arrive at Four Brix Winery in Ventura. Step into this fun, funky tasting roomwinery to savor wines made from grapes that are an homage to four great grape regions: Italy, France, Spain and California. Offering a “tapas menu” to accompany your wine tasting, Four Brix is a special “community.” Live concerts and special events are a constant at Four Brix---the fun never stops here. A few blocks from Four Brix is Panaro Brothers Winery. Being fifth generation Italian-American winemakers, the four Panaro Brothers offer a wide selection of mostly single-varietal wines, grapes sourced from vineyards stretching from Monterey through the Central Coast. You will be warmly welcomed into “la famiglia,” so come sit, sip and enjoy a selection of Italian style wines – once you do you will return often. As we cruise into spring and summer, plan some daytrips to the many unique tasting rooms throughout Ventura County. Please check individual websites for hours of operation, (most being open 3-4 days a week). >> DON SONDERLING *Lyrics from Ventura Highway, by America.
“Ventura Highway in the sunshine, where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than the moonshine, you’re gonna go I know.”* What better reason to go than to spend a rambling day (or two) along the Ventura 101 Freeway (or King’s Highway), from Camarillo to the seaside town of Ventura, (named after Mission San Buenaventura, founded in 1782), sipping wines, enjoying the sunshine and drive as you meet winemakers in their welcoming, friendly tasting rooms.
So Many Tasting Rooms—Not Enough Time (nut plenty of wine) With more than 20 tasting rooms to choose from, the Camarillo-Ventura corridor is less than a two-hour drive from central Orange County, and an hour or less from greater Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Enjoy the fruitful bounty of what Ventura County has to offer – you won’t be disappointed.
Four Not to Miss Travelling north on the 101 toward Ventura, you may want to make your first stop at Herzog Wine Cellars, in Oxnard. Though a well-known larger winery, Herzog (producing Kosher wines), has a fascinating history, and includes in their line-up smaller lot, limited edition and premium wines. Take the selfguided tour which is educational and fascinating. Magnavino Cellars, is a mile down the road from Herzog. Entering, you will feel transported into a delightful Italian wine country getaway. Robert and Barbara Wagner have created a

The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, May 31 through June 2, includes three days of concerts on two stages. Friday entertainment features Chase Bryant on the wine stage, and A Thousand Horses, plus the “Toast the Glow” experience in the main stage amphitheater. Saturday headliner Three Doors Down will be joined by Soul Asylum and Dishwalla. Sunday Country Funday includes headliner Big & Rich with Russel Dickerson. Friday will also feature A Thousand Horses. “Toast the Glow” is an event recognizing the Festival’s evening balloon glow. Up to a dozen hot air balloons will line up and tether along the top of the arena at dusk. The glow is accomplished when the balloonists all simultaneously light the burners that create the “hot air” for the balloons. In the dark of night, this causes the balloons to illuminate. Countdowns and music will cue the balloonists to synchronize.The audience is part of this show as they countdown and demand the colorful spectacle with just one word “GLOW.” Temecula’s wine country has experienced explosive growth and wine lovers can enjoy over 60 different wines from up to 20 wineries during the weekend. Wine Enthusiast magazine named the Temecula Valley one of the 10 Best Wine Getaways for 2019. The Festival offers a variety of ways to discover a favorite wine in the valley that is known as Southern California Wine Country. Wine tasting is $2 per taste. Winemaker reserve packages include a larger wine glass, plus eight 1-ounce tastes. There are only 1,000 of these packages sold. Cost is $35 online. Morning launches Saturday and Sunday give guests a chance to hitch a ride on a hot air balloon. Hot air balloons begin inflating at 6 a.m. Flights can be reserved. Balloon flights last 45 to 60 minutes and include champagne, orange juice, water and mimosas. Tethered rides are offered after the mass launch. These rides ascend 50 feet and last about four minutes. Hot air balloon flights, tethers and evening glows are subject to last-minute cancellations due to weather. The early bird catches the balloon Murphy-Goode launch onEdmeades Saturday and Sunday weather permitting. Be sure to be on the Festival grounds no later than 6 a.m. as the balloons launch quickly and do not return. Tethered rides begin immediately after the launch and are available until approximately 9 a.m. Check www.tvbwf.com for scheduled times and activities or call (951) 676-6713.
