Announcing the Winners of the 2019 Central Coast Wine Competition
Halter Ranch Wins Winery of the Year at the 2019 Central Coast Wine Competition The Paso Robles winery won Best Red Wine and Best Pink Wine, two Best of Class awards, five Double Gold Medals and two Gold Medals. The Central Coast Wine Competition (CCWC) announced Halter Ranch is the 2019 Winery of the Year. This is the second Winery of the Year award for the Paso Robles winery, which took home the same honor in 2017. “Since Hansjörg Wyss purchased the property in 2000, the team has worked diligently to be leaders in sustainability, and stay at the forefront of modern vineyard and winemaking practices,” said Kevin Sass, Halter Ranch’s winemaker. “This focus has enabled us to create solid and consistent wines and win this incredible honor twice in the last three years, it means even more
8
to be recognized by our peers in our own backyard.” All 10 Halter Ranch wines entered received medals. Halter Ranch was awarded five Double Gold Medals, three Gold Medals, and two Silver Medals. The Best Red Wine was awarded to Halter Ranch’s 2016 Ancestor. The Bordeaux blend also won a Double Gold Medal, and was awarded Best of Class for Bordeaux Blends. The Paso Robles winery also won Best Pink Wine for their 2018 Rosé. In addition, the Rhône-style Rosé was awarded a Double Gold Medal and won Best of Class for Grenache Rosé. Halter Ranch’s inaugural
release of the 2015 Libelle Sparkling won a Double Gold Medal and a Bronze in the overall Best of Show category. “What makes producing wine at Halter Ranch so interesting is that our climate and soils lend themselves to so many grape varieties. From Picpoul Blanc to Petit Verdot all the varieties that we grow create wines that have great flavor and texture. It allows our winemaking team to be creative in both the winemaking process and blending. We are honored to play a part in showcasing the diverse and exceptional wines produced across the Paso Robles AVA,” Sass said.
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
More than 800 wines entered, the most in its 17-year history The 17th annual Central Coast Wine Competition (CCWC) presented by The Tribune included 165 wineries and a record-breaking 803 wines entered. The competition features 68 classes based on grape varieties and vintages, where the “Best of” wines are selected for their varietal typicity, quality and character. The blind-tasting event, held June 19-20 at the Paso Robles Event Center, is the largest wine competition on California’s Central Coast, which encompasses ten counties stretching from Alameda to Ventura. The complete list of winners is available at www.midstatefair.com. Best of Show went to Solis Winery’s 2018 Estate Fiano, from Santa Clara Valley. This honor came after judges awarded it a Double Gold Medal and deemed it both Best of Class (Other White Wines) and overall Best White Wine. This obscure varietal from southern Italy marks the first time an Italian white wine has won Best of Show. The Best Red Wine was awarded to Halter Ranch’s 2016 Ancestor. This Bordeaux blend also won a Double Gold Medal and was awarded Best of Class (Bordeaux Blends). The Paso Robles winery also won Best Pink Wine for their 2018 Rosé. In addition, the Rhone style Rosé was awarded a Double Gold Medal and was won Best of Class (Grenache Rosé). Best Sparkling Wine was awarded to Laetitia Vineyard and Winery’s 2016 Brut Rosé. The same bubbles from the Arroyo Grande winery also claimed a Double Gold Medal. This is the second year in a row that Laetitia’s Brut Rosé has won this category. Best Dessert Wine was awarded to Glunz Family Winery’s Mission Angelica. This wine also won a Double Gold Medal and was awarded Best of Class (Fortified Desserts). This is the third consecutive year that Mission Angelica has been awarded Best Dessert Wine. The 803 bottles entered were also judged on their labels as part of the Central Coast Packaging and Design Competition. The team of judges consisted of professional creatives from the region, including Kraftwerk Design, Pretty Media Creations, Karson Butler Events, Newman Creative Studios and Studios on the Park.

BAILEYANA, TANGENT & TRUE MYTH TASTING ROOM
Paragon Vineyard, nestled smackdab in the Edna Valley region, is where Jack and Catharine Niven first planted their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir winegrapes in 1973, and where they still grow. Today, the Niven family of wines features four distinctive labels – Baileyana, Tangent, True Myth, and Zocker. “With over 35 different red, white and rosé wines to choose from, we really can find a wine that suits every palate – from crisp and vibrant Albariño and buttery Chardonnay, to elegant Pinot Noirs and big, juicy Cabernet Sauvignons,” said Karl Boone, Directto-Consumer Manager of Baileyana, Tangent, and True Myth.
16
The Yellow Schoolhouse The tasting room is tucked inside a 110-year-old, 850-squarefoot wooden building at 5828 Orcutt Road in San Luis Obispo. At one time, the charming yellow structure served as the Independence Schoolhouse, which the locals call “Baileyana.” Now lovingly restored, the schoolhouse doors are open every day. Baileyana carries an ample selection of gourmet foods, gifts, and the entire lineup of Niven Family wines. Outside, a relaxed vibe invites guests to inhale sweeping views of the valley and enjoy a brief recess from the worries of life.

Want to Reserve Your Slice of Paradise? “We rent our picnic tables by the hour, so call ahead and then come and enjoy the wine, views and bocce ball with your friends and family,” said Karl. You can also pre-book cheese and charcuterie platters for the table, and don’t forget a lawn blanket for the kids!” Open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., walk-ins are welcome. Groups of eight people or more require reservations 48 hours in advance for proper service. Leashed dogs are permitted in the outdoor spaces. New Wine Releases The 2018 Tangent Stone Egg Albariño is a classic, vibrant wine with flavors of peach, apricot, and juicy mandarin orange. Those who taste this Albariño will notice a creamy quality and a rich, full mouthfeel developed from nine months of aging on the lees in stone egg tanks. Cast stone egg-shaped tanks are growing in popularity, but date back to the Roman times as a means of wine fermentation. Many winemakers appreciate the breathability of concrete. The curved surface helps circulate the wine, which enhances flavor and depth. A limited-production release, the 2014 Baileyana S-BAR Syrah sources fruit from Select Blocks and Rows (SBAR) and is aged in 30 percent new French oak. Perfectly balanced in fruit and acidity, layers of white pepper, blueberry, mocha and raspberry emerge and finish with cream, spice and rich, earthy undertones. This super smooth Syrah is a staff favorite. The 2018 Tangent Clone 530 Sauvignon Blanc is the reserve Sauvignon Blanc of the Niven Family collection of wines. This Loire Valley clone was originally planted in 1973 and may possibly be the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines south of the North
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
Coast. Small berries in lighter yields provide more concentrated aromas and flavors that make this an especially memorable wine. More tropical than grassy in taste, this Sauvignon Blanc exudes flavors of island fruits, citrus, apple, and passionfruit. It’s a perfect choice for sipping, but really shows its stuff when paired with seafood. For those who want to save money but don’t want to buy a whole case of wine, Baileyana has it covered. “We have great savings on special three-, four- and six-packs of wine,” said Karl. “Whether you want three different Chardonnays, Pinots, a six-pack of big, red wines, or a selection from across our brands, ask to see our multi-pack selections!” >> BY MELISSA CHAVEZ

WE OLIVE
CREATING OLIVE OIL FANATICS ... ONE CUSTOMER AT A TIME Most visitors to Paso Robles are attracted by the diverse collection of estate-grown Bordeaux, Burgundian and Rhône-style wines. But the region is also home to the biggest concentration of small, boutique olive growers and olive oil producers in California. “All our olive oils come from small family farms across the state,” said Ruth Mercurio of We Olive, a specialty shop featuring locally-grown organic olives at 1311 Park Street. “When people come to Paso Robles, they can meet face-to-face with growers and learn about the wide variety of olives available. Customers really appreciate that.”

A Fraternity of Growers The Paso Robles region has been a thriving center of commercial agriculture for more than a century, and like alfalfa farmers and cattle ranchers, olive farmers have always been a tightknit fraternity who share everything from farm equipment and camaraderie to fresh ideas about how to further the Central California olive industry. “Olive farmers around here definitely pull together and hold one another accountable,” said Ruth. “It’s important to all of us that this region maintain the highest quality olive oil and olive products possible.” One distinction that Ruth has found about olive oil made from fruit grown in Paso Robles is that it’s lively, more robust, and especially flavorful. We Olive sells only olive oil that has been certified by the California Olive Oil Council, the sole American organization that provides olive oil certification. In fact, all olive oils sold at We Olive are lab-tested and taste-tested to ensure purity and quality. Throughout the store, visitors can find a treasure of specialty food products by small producers that make even the humblest of meals special. Products from the Paso Robles area in various size options make for creative gift-giving possibilities,

too. There’s even an olive oil refill program at a discounted price. “We love showcasing local farmers, like Berardo Olive Oil Estates and Fandango Olive Oil in Paso Robles.” Berardo produces a Tuscanstyle blend of oil from four varieties of traditional Pendolino, Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino olives. Fandango Olive Oil is produced using Spanish Arbequina olives and Greek Koroneiki certified-organic olives. Balsamic Vinegars Just like olive oils, balsamic vinegars can be used singularly or with olive oils to complement just about any type of meal, from sweet to savory. Our Peach White Balsamic Vinegar tastes just like summer,” said Ruth. “There’s no mistaking those stone fruit aromas; it’s phenomenal!” Among the many choices of flavorful We Olive balsamic vinegars are Blood Orange Balsamic Vinegar, Blackberry, Mission Fig, Apple White and D’Anjou Pear Balsamic Vinegar. As the culinary season turns toward fall, Ruth recommends her Citrus Spice Balsamic Vinegar. Pumpkin spice fans will especially appreciate the enticing aromas of baking spices in autumn recipes. Relationships are Key Among the many products sold at We Olive, Ruth says that her “Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Aged Balsamic Vinegar are the winners, hands down.” Coupled with We Olive’s attentive customer service, Ruth and her manager, Rudi Lasslett, has enjoyed a loyal following in her Paso Robles store. “We always strive in our store to make people feel like family,” Rudi said. Ruth agrees. “By far, it is the relationships that we’ve established over the years with customers and our employees that we cherish the most.” But Ruth also loves the “aha” moments that visitors to her store experience when they try We Olive products for the first time. “When someone walks into the store and tastes the variety of highquality olive oils that we offer, there’s that light that turns on in their eyes,” said Ruth. “I call it the ‘yum factor.’ That’s when you know that you’ve created an olive oil fanatic. It’s very satisfying!” >> BY MELISSA CHAVEZ

ZOTOVICH VINEYARD A PASSION PROJECT
What started as a passion passed down from his Serbian grandparents – who made wine in the cellar of their home in downtown Los Angeles – has led to Zotovich Vineyards, an intimate, familyowned and operated winery founded by Steve Zotovich who took his passion for wine to a new level in the Northern Santa Rita Hills (between Buellton and Lompoc). Legend has it that the deed on the vineyard was signed the day “Sideways” was released in theaters – two years later the first estate wines were produced. Making Santa Rita Hill’s expressive wines, fresh with vibrant flavors and lots of acidity, their location on a fossilized tributary has added a unique briny quality to their wine. Farming the highest quality grapes with meticulous attention to the land, they believe 95% of winemaking occurs in in the vineyard, which has ensured the consistent high quality over the years people have come to expect. Zotovich’s Estate Chardonnays and Pinots fly out the door, they also have small plots of Grenache, Syrah, and Viognier. The intimate tasting room directly across from the Lompoc ‘Wine Ghetto’
20
overlooks rolling hills with a small staff of experts who are clearly passionate about the delicious lean and fresh wines they produce. Alternating each month between the flagship tasting and the reserve tasting, they like to switch it up so people can see the evolution of their wines. They only make 1500 cases so these small-lot, hand-crafted wines are an exceptional treat along with the local cheeses and meats they pair, in line with their philosophy to keep it simple and exceptional. Be sure to try Heritage, a 2016 blend (50% Grenache, 50% Syrah), which is a tribute to Steve’s grandparents. And, for this time of year, the Zotovich Viognier is a must, as it has tons of acid – lemon, lime flavors, and a bit chilled, is great with fresh seafood, a light salad, and stone fruit. Along with complementary tastings, Zotovich Wine Club members have first access to special events including their upcoming vineyard tour on August 10th. This is an incredible opportunity to see the vineyard right before harvest, and just after flowering. Wine in hand,

LARNER
VINEYARD & WINERY On your next visit to the charming wine town of Los Olivos, make the Larner Winery Tasting Room a destination adventure. Adjacent to the Los Olivos General Store (filled with all sorts of unique, one-of-akind gifts) and Panino (the place to go for hand-crafted sandwiches, salads and soups), Larner’s admittedly petite tasting room makes a huge impression! Just look for the vintage gas pump in front of what used to be a service station building back in the early 1900s!
point. You need a special winemaker to coax the nuances and characteristics from each vintages grapes, but to begin, you need climate and soil (terroir) that can produce grapes of exceptional character. Michael Larner’s 34 acres, located in the Ballard Canyon AVA, is just such a place.
In fact, the vineyard has been described by the famous wine critic Robert Parker as a California “Grand Cru.” Combine the grapes from this unique site, with Michael Larner’s passion, knowledge and expertise, and the result are wines that are world class.
Rhônes – Plus One Larner specializes in Rhône varietals, and on any given visit to the tasting room you are certain to be tantalized and seduced not only by his GSM (a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre), but especially, his Syrahs. The tasting menu will change with availability, as these are small production wines, which sell out quickly. In addition to the Rhônes, there is a very special “plus” that, when available, is a distinctive treat, Malvasia Bianca. This Italian grape, and the wine is, in a word: Elegant. Malvasia Bianca holds a special place in Michael’s heart – as he trained in, and loves Italy; this is Michael’s special homage to the people, land and wine of Italy. When visiting Los Olivos, don’t miss the Larner Tasting Room. As special as Syrah is to Michael Larner, this tasting room and the wines, will find a special place in your wine life. A visit to Larner, first time and every time, is like returning to the warmth and friendliness of your own home and family after being away. >> BY DON SONDERLING

New California Art Destination Launches with World-Famed Light Installation Sensorio, an immersive new destination located in Paso Robles, California, launches its first phase with an illuminated art installation by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro. The British-based artist has created his largest site-specific project to date, with the enormous multi-acre walk-through artwork, Bruce Munro: Field of Light at Sensorio. Field of Light is a sculptural composition that covers Sensorio’s rolling hills with an array of over 58,800 stemmed spheres lit by fiber-optics, gently illuminating the landscape in subtle blooms of morphing color. Powered by solar, the stunning exhibition is expected to captivate thousands of visitors, inviting them to engage with the countryside through an ethereal light-based, sculptural experience. Bruce Munro: Field of Light at Sensorio is open to the public through January 5, 2020 at Sensorio, 4380 Highway 46 East, Paso Robles, California. For more information and for tickets the public may visit SensorioPaso.com or call (805) 226-4287. Smithsonian Magazine has called Munro’s work “stunning,” while The Guardian noted, “This is art you feel, rather than art you view.” The Huffington Post said, “It can be hard to describe in words the gifts that Munro bestows on the landscape as his work escapes description in either written or photographic form, it is something to be experienced.” Theoretical physicist/Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek noted, “I had the uncanny sense that I was walking through my own mind, or at least a good model of it. I’ll never again think about brains, or myself, in quite the same way.” Munro created an international sensation with a stunning Field of Light installation in Uluru, Northern Territories, Australia in 2016 that was met with instant acclaim. Involving 326 miles of optic fiber, Field of Light in Uluru has been seen by over 200,000 guests in one of the world’s most remote locations, and will remain on display through December 2020. The journey to that exhibition started in 1992, when Munro and his fiancée (now wife) took a camping tour of Australia’s red desert center. Struck by the thought that deserts seem infertile, until it rained and the flowers bloomed, Munro dreamt of a field of lights that, like dormant seeds in a dry desert, would quietly wait until darkness
to bloom with gentle rhythms of light. The first iteration of Field of Light was not created until 12 years later, in 2004, in Munro’s own home field in Wiltshire, UK. Since then, he has been invited to temporarily recreate Field of Light in many forms: along water and through forests, in urban squares, on building roofs, and over rocky buttes. Sensorio’s breathtaking exhibit is larger in size than any other Munro exhibition internationally, and will be Munro’s first US exhibit entirely powered by solar. For Sensorio, Munro will create an even larger field, offering visitors an unparalleled experience of immersing themselves in a breathtaking otherworld. Other amenities include refreshments and a special terrace option offering viewing while dining. Munro’s oeuvre aims to transcend time and space by inspiring moments of awareness, inviting viewers to contemplate a world larger and more mysterious than their own existence. Munro’s recent West Coast premiere at Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California, was described as “Spectacular” by the San Francisco Chronicle, and “Wondrous,” by San Francisco Magazine. KQED (PBS) declared the exhibit “Magical. His dream becomes your dream,” and The Mercury News added it “lives up to the hype. We never left Saratoga, yet entered into another dimension, exploring brilliant realms.” Sensorio, the intersection of art, technology, and nature, has been designed as a destination for entertainment, exploration, meditation, adventure, and delight. Sensorio will honor the natural topography of the landscape and offer a wide range of amusing, mystical, and kinetic experiences. The Central California destination launches with the interactive light installation by Bruce Munro, as other exhibits and buildings are put into place for an expected opening in 2021. Future developments at Sensorio will include a hotel and conference center.
Internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro has created his largest work to date, "Bruce Munro: Field of Light at Sensorio" in Paso Robles on display through January 5, 2020. This photo shows Munro’s “Field of Light” in Uluru, Australia. Photo credit: Serena Munro

The plantings are all along a hill that covers most of the ranch, exposing the vines to the cool air that comes off the Pacific and into the Santa Ynez Valley. The combination of North, South, East, and West facing slopes coupled with the exposure to varying degrees of the cool wind give the vineyard a diversity of fruit flavor profiles that are unique for a ranch of this size.

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
Solvang’s First & Oak Restaurant Awarded 2019 ‘Michelin Plate’ First Solvang Dining Establishment to be Recommended by Prestigious Michelin Guide For the first time, a Solvang dining establishment has been recommended by the prestigious Michelin Guide. On June 3, the 2019 Michelin Guide California debuted, awarding First & Oak at the Mirabelle Inn at 409 First Street in downtown Solvang with the “Michelin Plate” which recognizes “Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared: a good meal.” Only 13 restaurants in the entire county of Santa Barbara received this recognition. Other Michelin Guide ratings include “Bib Gourmand” and “Stars.” First & Oak’s Michelin review states “In a small, romantic boutique hotel, this is a deliciously old-school restaurant that is coming into its own with ambitious contemporary cuisine. This should be no surprise, as the chef boasts a background in some esteemed and globally acclaimed kitchens. Guests are invited to create their own prix-fixe menu by selecting four to five dishes from a variety of categories, such as garden, ocean or farm. This might yield a meal that begins with a refreshing gazpacho made from delicately spiced melon with basil blossom and a bit of smoky fried shrimp. Masterful desserts have included a brownbutter sponge cake with dense clotted cream and marinated strawberries. Be sure to sample the owner’s own wine label,
Wine Country This Month: Central Coast
Coqueliquot, available in a range of styles.” First & Oak opened in 2016, after the Rosenson family bought the Mirabelle Inn which houses the restaurant. Steven Snook, First & Oak’s opening chef, came to Solvang with a Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay résumé. The restaurant’s current chef JJ Guerrero, a protégé of Chef Snook, continues to serve a popular, locallysourced tasting menu format accompanied by a wine list created by Sommelier and General Manager Jonathan Rosenson. First & Oak serves dinner seven nights a week from 5:30-8:45 p.m. with reservations recommended by calling (805) 688-1703. Tracy Farhad, Executive Director of the Solvang Conference & Visitors Bureau enthused, “We are so thrilled to celebrate First & Oak being recommended by the prestigious Michelin Guide! Bravo to Jonathan Rosenson and his team at First & Oak for bringing your extraordinary international cuisine to California’s Denmark.” The SCVB operates the Solvang Visitors Center at 1630 Copenhagen Drive; open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; offering free maps, guides, savings options and plenty of information on the destination named by USA Today as one of the 10 best historic small towns in America.

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

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY
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.

The annual Orcutt Children’s Arts Foundation Chalk (OCAF) Festival takes place on September 28 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on South Broadway in Old Orcutt. The theme is “Feast on The Arts.” The OCAF Chalk Festival embodies the spirit of 16th century Italian street painting. “The Orcutt Children’s Arts Foundation Chalk Festival is an art-filled, family fun day celebrating creativity and is free to attend,” OCAF Executive Director Lee Ann Luongo stated. “You’ll see children, emerging student artists, amateur artists and professional artists working side by side creating street masterpieces. For children, PasspART tickets can be purchased for $10 which include a box of professional pastel chalk and a place to create their own art masterpiece.” Lluango continued, “Families can stroll through Old Town Orcutt while art takes place on the ground – and all around. You will marvel at the dozens of masterpieces evolving right before their eyes. You can also shop the fine regional crafts and artwork of numerous vendors. If you’re hungry, you can taste the symphony of flavors of our local food trucks and culinary pop-ups and local restaurants, or move to the rhythm of live music, and experience all that the festival has to offer.” Back by popular demand is featured artist Ever Galvez and local artist Ruben Espinoza. Ever Galvez is known prominently for traveling all over the world for his award-winning Street Painting.

Brothers John and Steve Dragonette and good friend Brandon Sparks-Gillis left a successful Los Angeles wine shop in 2005 to set their sights for Santa Barbara County’s little community of Los Olivos, where Dragonette Cellars was born. Here, the trio offers regular and reserve tastings of exclusive, distinctive, and small-lot Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah wines. “Our visitors will always be met by a friendly and very knowledgeable staff,” said John. “We pride ourselves on holding weekly staff trainings to educate them, and that’s important to us. In this way, our guests can discover how soil and climate influence the characteristics of wine.” Dragonette’s wines age well, from 15 to 20 years. As vignerons, they have committed themselves, above all else, to the mindful farming of precise blocks in exceptional vineyards for low yields and high quality and to the shepherding of these grapes into wines of purity, complexity and balance. Given the remarkable climatic and soil diversity in Santa Barbara County, Dragonette Cellars produces small lots of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah of interest and distinction. The tasting room offers the chance to purchase exclusive, small-lot wines not found anywhere else.
Tickets Available Now at www.SolvangUSA.com/stomp Tracy Farhad, Executive Director of the Solvang Conference & Visitors Bureau, has announced the return of Solvang Stomp, a Wine Harvest Street Festival. The second annual event will be happening on Saturday, October 19, from 2 to 5 p.m. in downtown Solvang on First Street (between Mission Drive/Hwy. 246 and Copenhagen Drive) and the adjacent Solvang Park. Solvang Stomp guests will have the opportunity to stomp grapes in vats barefoot, sip tastes from dozens of area wineries, dance to a live band, drink pink in the “I Love Rosé Lounge” and be able to purchase food inside the festival area from popular area eateries as well as participate in the “Lucy & Ricky Ricardo Look-a-Like Contest based on Lucille Ball’s famous grape stomp episode on her TV show. All “Solvang Stompers” will receive a souvenir logo wine glass and foot towel plus a ticket to win wine-related prizes. Daniel Lahr, Solvang CVB’s Special Program Manager shared, “Solvang is surrounded by world-class vineyards, wineries and

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.
