Paso Robles is on the World Stage for Cabernet Sauvignon As Paso Robles becomes recognized as one of the world’s premiere producers of Cabernet Sauvignon and red Bordeaux varietals, the area has seen significant growth in red Bordeaux plantings. Today, more than 57 percent of Paso Robles vineyard acreage is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon and other red Bordeaux varieties. As Paso Robles’ Bordeaux varietals earn more accolades, higher demand leads wineries to plant more Bordeaux varieties than ever before, it’s safe to say Cabernet Sauvignon is king in Paso Robles. Situated inland on the Central Coast but close enough to the Pacific Ocean to enjoy maritime influences, Paso Robles is a superb region for growing Bordeaux varietal grapes. Here, mountainous slopes, diverse soil types and large diurnal shifts in day to night temperatures result in idyllic growing conditions for grapes. “Paso Robles is a rare phenomenon,” shares Daniel Daou, Co-owner and Winemaker of DAOU Vineyards and Winery. “It has the soils of Bordeaux and the climate of Napa, and when you put this combination together, it’s something that is rare and special. It allows us as winemakers to take a very minimalist approach to making wine.” The resulting wines are approachable, complex and age-worthy, and continue to win over critics and wine enthusiasts alike with their terroirdriven nuances. “The climate in Paso is quite unique. We get heat during the day, but at night we have these intense diurnal shifts in temperature, putting more minerality into the berries and creating unique flavor profiles,” adds Doug Filipponi, Co-owner

of Ancient Peaks Winery. The fifty-degree diurnal temperature swing from day to night allows for late ripening grapes, which in turn give them more time to fully develop. Paso Robles has more than 40 soil profiles, dominated by calcareous shale. These high pH soils provide low pH wines with vibrant acidity. These wines have bright fruit and are ready to enjoy now, yet have the structure for ageability. Pioneer winemaker Gary Eberle of Eberle Winery, for instance, is known for sharing Cabernet Sauvignons from the mid 80's that are still exceptional. The growing recognition for Cabernet and Bordeaux varieties has led Paso Robles producers to plant more of these varieties than ever before, especially amongst members of the Paso Robles CAB Collective (PRCC), a grass-roots organization which strives to promote the full potential of the Paso Robles appellation through quality Cabernet and red Bordeaux varietal wines. Today, Paso Robles is the second largest Cabernet Sauvignon and red Bordeaux producing AVA in the country, behind only Napa. “My personal feeling is this is the best place in the world to grow Bordeaux varieties,” says Michael Mooney, Founder & Winemaker, Chateau Margene. The growth of Bordeaux plantings in the region is attributable to the increased quality of the wines produced in Paso Robles and their price to value ratio compared to other regions. “We’re growing quality fruit, but you’re also getting a lot of bang for the buck with Paso Cabernet,” says Filipponi. It’s the efforts of the Paso Robles CAB Collective (PRCC)

members who have devoted themselves to crafting true terroir-driven Cabernet and Bordeaux wines which has helped Paso Robles position itself alongside the world’s top Bordeaux varietal regions, and sharing their craft in various ways beyond the tasting room experience. The PRCC is actively involved in an education series at top viticulture, oenology and hospitality universities and schools. The non-profit also hosts an annual CAB Camp, a three-day immersion into the wines, terroir, culture and personalities of the region, for wine buyers and sommeliers from all over the country, and throughout the year invites media to experience the magic that is Paso Robles. The vision of the PRCC and the overall belief in the future of the region is contagious. “Cabernet Sauvignon is really helping to define Paso Robles as a region,” shares Steve Peck, Winemaker, J.

Castoro Cellars’ Sister Location:

Bethel Rd. Distillery Serves Spirits Made From Scratch Just a stone’s throw from the Castoro Cellars tasting room in Templeton is the Udsen family’s sister operation, Bethel Rd. Distillery & Winery. Beyond the sliding barn doors, a sleek and cozy wood and metal structure with concrete floors offers visitors a laidback vibe. Here, at the Bethel Rd. namesake, visitors can pull a stool up to the bar to swirl and sip grappa, gin, barrel-aged brandy and wine. “Bethel Rd. Distillery and Winery is the perfect complement to Castoro Cellars. Everything we make over there comes from our estate vineyards, but it is made on a very small scale,” said Luke Udsen, marketing director. “Our spirits are all small-batch and made from grapes that we grow, which is really fun, and everyone who visits gets to see the still we use to make it all!” The working tasting room features concrete egg and stainless-steel fermentation tanks, red copper hybrid pot and column distillation equipment, and racked oak barrels. On the east wall, long windows unfold to reveal vineyard rows of grapes sourced for Bethel Rd. wines. Tucked into the west corner of the room is a cozy spot where pillows on couches invite more relaxed conversation. Hand-crafted distilled spirits have caught on like wildfire in recent years, but for the Udsen family, creating their own label was a long time in the making. “The idea for the distillery originated with my Dad’s dream of making Grappa one day, which he developed after spending extended time in Italy enjoying Grappa with a friend,” Luke said of his father, Niels Udsen.

Bethel Rd. Spirit & Cocktail Club “Nocino is a walnut liqueur made with underripe green walnuts. It’s fantastic on its own or mixed in cocktails,” Luke added. “Our Nocino is made from an old Italian recipe passed on to us by friends who live in Parma, Italy.” The full Bethel Rd. handcrafted distilled lineup includes a non-filtered House Brandy made from estate grapes and aged two years. The Orange Muscat Brandy is aged lightly for three months in a French oak puncheon (or double-sized barrel) that results in a delicately fruity and floral aromatic finish. At 90 proof each, Bethel Rd. Grappa Di Primitivo and Grappa Di Moscato are also created using grape pomace from Castoro’s estate vineyards. The barrel-aged Bethel Rd. House Gin is infused with juniper berries, cardamom, cassia bark, coriander, lemon peel, orange peel, and Angelica root. Bethel Rd. offers two Rhone-style wines. The Grenache Blanc entices with pleasant aromas of fresh peach and brioche, and crisp apple with honeysuckle sweetness. This wine is sourced from organically grown estate grapes. Bethel Rd. 2016 Carignane wine is a versatile red sourced with grapes from Castoro’s Templeton Gap area vineyard. This wine recently scored 94 points and won Double Gold at the San Francisco International Wine Competition. There are also three Bordeaux-style wines to try. Popular now is the delightful Albariño. Sourced by organically grown estate grapes, crisp acidity and a touch of rich butter are nicely balanced. Bethel Rd.’s 2016 Charbono is a uniquely purple amethyst wine that exudes bright, crisp acidity, firm tannins, and is terrific paired with food. The 2016 LN. 1 wine opens with dried black cherry flavor in a smooth, complex, and tannic finish. This blend is comprised of 50 percent Cabernet, Petite Verdot, Malbec, other varietals, and accented with a splash of Grenache Noir. BY MELISSA CHAVEZ

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

Twice a year in May and November, club members can create an ultimate date night right in their own living rooms or invite friends to share the spoils. Bethel Rd. puts together clever wooden crates filled with two to three of their spirits, locally made cocktail syrups, mixers and accoutrements. Pick-up parties, meet-and-greet opportunities with the distillers, free tasting flights for two, custom craft cocktail tastings, and first picks of new product releases and events are among the perks. In addition, all bottle purchases are 20 percent off the regular price.

Zinfandel Weekend “On the Friday night of the Zinfest Weekend, March 20-22, we will be doing a dinner in the distillery prepared by our chef, Nick Otto,” said Luke. “The dinner will be paired with our wines and may even include a splash of Grappa!”

Since its opening last May, the immersive exhibit immediately captured an international audience, significantly exceeding all attendance expectations with thousands of visitors arriving from around the globe to experience this remarkable event. It has also attracted international media attention, applauded for creating a “movement that infuses culture in valleys of viticulture,” (The New York Times), and described as “the future of public wellness” (Forbes), and a “pilgrimage-worthy art escape” that is “meant to complement, never compete or detract, from the beauty of the landscape” (Travel + Leisure).

For more information, the public may visit SensorioPaso.com or call (805) 226-4287.

Field of Light For Sensorio, world acclaimed British artist Bruce Munro created an unparalleled immersive experience in a breathtaking otherworld. Bruce Munro: Field of Light at Sensorio is larger in size than any other Munro exhibition internationally and is Munro’s first US exhibit entirely powered by solar. Field of Light at Sensorio has been described as “mesmerizing” (Los Angeles Times), “art that you experience,” (San Francisco Chronicle), a “dreamlike glowing landscape” (SLO Tribune), and a “well-considered mix of technology, art installations, and community elements” (Forbes). On-site amenities include food and alcoholic beverages available for purchase, and a special VIP terrace option offering a more extensive dining experience with a breathtaking view of the exhibit. A rotating array of artists present live music on the Event Lawn during exhibit hours.

Artist Bruce Munro London-born Bruce Munro is best known for large-scale light-based artworks inspired largely by his continuous study of natural light and his curiosity for shared human experiences. With a fine arts degree, early career training in the lighting design industry, and an inventive urge for reuse, Munro creates art that captures his responses to literature, music, science, and the world around him. His work has been commissioned by and displayed in special exhibitions in galleries, parks, grand estates, cathedrals, botanical gardens, and museums around the globe, including Longwood Gardens, PA; the Guggenheim Museum, NY; the Sharjah Museum of Art, UAE; Montalvo Arts Center, CA; Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, AZ; Desert Botanical Garden, AZ; Jeju Light Art Festa, South Korea; the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, CO; Sotheby’s Beyond Limits at Chatsworth; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Waddesdon Manor, the Rothschild Collection, Buckinghamshire; and Salisbury Cathedral, among others. Artworks by Munro are held in the permanent collections of museums and public art collections worldwide including the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archeology, Oxford; Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Art Museum, TN; and Texas Tech University Public Art. The installation has hosted in excess of 100,000 visitors to date. This new Central California destination has also offered a highly romantic setting for popping the question, with Sensorio staff reporting at least six marriage proposals on the grounds to date. Sensorio, the intersection of art, technology, and nature, has been designed as a destination for entertainment, exploration, meditation, adventure, and delight, honoring the natural topography of the landscape. Future developments at Sensorio will include a hotel and conference center. Guests are invited to download Sensorio’s free app, “Sensorio Paso” for an enhanced experience.

Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, May 29-31 A Dynamic Blend of Unforgettable Sights, Sounds and Fun Scenically located in the heart of Southern California Wine Country, the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival, May 29-31, 2020, offers the finest tastes, sights and sounds in one picturesque setting. The three-day event is staged at Lake Skinner Recreation Area, a multi-species reserve that stretches into 14,000 acres of open space that eventually links to Diamond Valley Lake. Exhilarating views abound, whether feet are firmly planted on the ground or gliding through the air in a Hot Air Balloon. The Festival features up to 40 hot air balloons rising at sunrise into the Temecula’s beautiful skies, up to 16 wineries, camping, and top bands in concert on two different stages. Lifting both spirits and spectators, guests can choose between a 45-minute balloon flight over wine country or a five to eight-minute tethered ride that does not leave the Festival grounds. Balloon flights held at dawn on Saturday and Sunday and are weather permitting. Tethered rides continue until about 8:30 a.m. Guests who prefer sleeping-in can enjoy the nightowls’ option of evening hot air balloon glows on Friday and Saturday nights. Balloon “Glows” provide a closeup view of the hot air balloons and a spectacular light show. During the glow, up to eight balloons tether to the ground, inflate their canopies and then simultaneously ignite their burners. This illuminates the colorful balloon canopies against the velvet black evening skies. A new eyeopener this year is the Sunrise Balloon Brunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The package features admission, a reserved tethered hot air balloon ride, brunch and mimosas. This is Southern California Wine Country where the vibe is casual, fine wine abundant and lazy afternoons in the sun are complemented with a variety of food experiences. Wine

Enthusiast magazine named the Temecula Valley one of the 10 Best Wine Getaways for 2019. The Festival offers a chance to taste many of the local wines in one beautiful park setting. Up to 50 different wines will be offered with two ways to taste – the standard wine tasting ticket and the winemakers' reserve ticket where tasting is done in a private garden. Afternoons and evenings feature concerts on two stages. The wine stage offers local and Indie artists Friday through Sunday. The Main Stage provides festival headliners. All concerts are included in the ticket price. Reserved seats are available for the headliners. Previous concerts have included Chris Young, Third Eye Blind, 3 Doors Down, Big & Rich, Kenny Loggins, Blake Shelton, Bush and Peter Frampton. Bands are announced in the spring.

Garagiste Wine Festival Wins ‘Best of the Fests,’ Kicks off 10th Anniversary Year on February 15th National award from recognizes Garagiste Festival’s innovation; 2020 line-up in Sonoma, Paso Robles, Solvang, and Los Angeles announced The Garagiste Wine Festival, which was just named ‘Best of the Fests’ for 2019 by Fest Forums, is kicking off its 10th anniversary year with its popular Garagiste Northern Exposure event in Sonoma on February 15th, 2020. The Sonoma event offers wine lovers rare access to cutting-edge wines from over 40 micro-production, commercial wineries from Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Sierra Foothills, Lodi, Santa Cruz and more. The Garagiste Festival premiered in 2011 and is the nation’s first and only festival to showcase the wines of microproduction commercial ‘garagiste*’ winemakers. The ‘Best of Fest’ Award from Fest Forums, the country's leading conference for Event and Festival producers nationwide, recognized The Garagiste Festival for its innovation. Because Garagiste offers wine lovers oneof-a-kind opportunities to taste a range of each year’s most exciting handcrafted small-lot production wines, all under one roof, its four annual festivals in Sonoma, Solvang, Los Angeles and Paso Robles consistently sell out. This is the second national award for the festival which was also named the ‘Best Wine Festival in the US in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards. “2020 is a landmark year for Garagiste, and we are so grateful to receive this prestigious award as we head into our 10th anniversary year,” said Garagiste Festival Co-founder Doug Minnick. “The Garagiste Festival is the ‘little engine that could’ in a world of bigtime events featuring major stars and corporations, and we know it is all down to the amazing winemakers who pour at our festivals and each year inject freshness, creativity and a renegade spirit into the wine establishment.” The non-profit Garagiste Festival also supports the Garagiste Festival Scholarships at the Wine and Viticulture Department at Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo.

“Our mission over the last decade has been to shine a spotlight on smalllot winemakers, who you don’t find in grocery stores or on wine country maps, while supporting the winemakers of the future through our Garagiste Festival Scholarships,” said Garagiste Co-founder Stewart McLennan. “Our intimate and ‘no snobs’ allowed atmosphere has made the Garagiste Festivals unique and memorable, while our winemakers have expanded the horizons and palates of thousands of wine lovers. 2020 will be our best year of festivals ever. Stay tuned!”

Northern Exposure in Sonoma: The February 15th 2020 Garagiste Festival Northern Exposure will be held at the Sonoma Veterans Building near Sonoma’s historic downtown plaza and features 40 winemakers, one-in-four of which are brand new to the festival, pouring over 100+ wines from 20+ grape varieties. Limited availability VIP Experience tickets celebrate Valentine’s weekend with a Rare and Reserve tasting featuring library, club only and reserve wines; a wine country box lunch from local fave, The Girl & the Fig; a full glass of sparkling rosé from Garagiste Festival winemaker, Carboniste Modern Sparkling, as well as a themed treat from artisan chocolatiers Fleur Sauvage Chocolates. Among the 40+ winemakers scheduled to pour at the Sonoma Northern Exposure Festival are: 601 Cellars, Abbot’s Passage, Aesop Wines, Ampere/Pine Mountain

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY

It’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. 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 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. 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. For more information on San Luis Obispo County, visit the websites visitslo.com or www.pasowine.com.

Annual Wine 4 Paws Weekend, April 18-19 – Fundraiser For Woods Humane Society April means it’s time to enjoy the Central Coast while helping animals in need during the 12th Annual Wine 4 Paws Weekend benefiting Woods Humane Society on April 18 & 19. Do you like wine? Beer? Food? Olive Oil? How about all those dogs and cats who are brought to Animal Shelters, and patiently wait for someone to take them in to a loving home? Wine 4 Paws is the way you can enjoy all the Central Coast has to offer while helping homeless animals throughout SLO County. On April 18 & 19, almost 100 businesses throughout SLO County will join together and donate a portion of their proceeds to Woods Humane Society. You don’t need to buy a ticket. You don’t need to show up at one location at any set time. All you have to do is head out to any of the participating tasting rooms and restaurants and enjoy the weekend! From San Luis Obispo to San Miguel to the coast of Cambria, you’ll find a stop where you can taste, eat, and enjoy the company of animal lovers who are having fun while making a difference. With almost 100 places to choose from, you can visit your favorite or find a new one! In this county-wide event, each participating tasting room 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. In addition to the tasting rooms, Jeffry’s Wine Country BBQ in Paso Robles and Milestone Tavern in San Luis Obispo will be donating 10% of sales for the weekend of April 18 and 19.

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. Wine 4 Paws helps ensure that Woods can continue to offer our community animals the highest level of care – it’s a win-win for everyone! Wine 4 Paws began in 2009 and has grown to almost 100, plus restaurants, breweries, and olive oil producers! Overall, Wine 4 Paws has raised over $400,000 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 our 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 the 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 staff and hundreds of volunteers ensure the success of their work. There‘s a map available on the Wine 4 Paws website, or at any participating business during the event. When you help generate a donation, you can get your map stamped. Once it’s full turn it in to any participating winery for entry in the Wine 4 Paws Drawing. For details, visit www.wine4paws.com.

Baileyana, Tangent & True Myth Location, Location, Location It’s said that there are three rules in buying good real estate: Location, location, location, and Baileyana hits the trifecta with all three. At Baileyana, you will enjoy experiencing elegant wines grown from grapes in California’s coolest viticulture region, while sipping in, or adjacent to, an original 1909 K-12 schoolhouse. Back in the day, horse-drawn buggies and horseless carriages

would bring local children to go to school here. Today, the modern automobile brings visitors, eager to taste and experience award-winning, terroir specific wines of Baileyana, Tangent & True Myth, while learning about the area, and sipping in this historic building.

Three Labels Plus One – Showing Off Terroir In 1973, when the first vines were planted by Jack and Catharine Niven, there was no way they could imagine not only the leadership role they would assume in the Edna Valley, but how the winery would develop. Today, there are four distinct labels representing Baileyana. Baileyana, the original label, is primarily Burgundian, focusing on six distinctive Pinot Noirs, six Chardonnays, but also including a couple of special cooler-climate, Rhône-varietal Syrahs. The wines are as elegant and classy as is the label, and are impeccable expressions of this cool weather site, and the vineyard planted over 45 years ago. Tangent is a label representing all estate-grown, unoaked white wines. These wines demonstrate the versatility of the very special Paragon vineyard, and the micro-climates of the area. The Tangent label includes Albariño, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Viognier. True Myth, the newest addition to the Baileyana lineup, is reflective of the Central Coast itself. Cabernet dominant, grapes are sourced from throughout San Luis Obispo County, up through Paso Robles. Although True Myth does include an Edna Valley Chardonnay, you will enjoy a representative sampling of what “the Central Coast” wine country is all about. Zocker – The Niven family, always pioneering, took a gamble (Zocker is Austrian-German for “gambler”), in planting the

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

History, Fun Facts, Events • Jack Niven is one of the earliest pioneers of SLO County Grape Growing-spearheading the move that created the Edna Valley AVA in 1982 • Paragon Vineyard, planted in 1973, is the oldest, continually producing family-owned vineyard in the area • The Niven Family Wineries are run today by Jack Niven’s children and grandchildren • The entire estate is SIP Certified, one of the first in the area

Some recent awards and recognition

Austrian white grape Grüner Veltliner. Not so well known, and not a widely planted grape, this is an exceptionally food friendly wine. Also under the Zocker label is a small-production Riesling.

Sip Back and Relax Enjoy your wine tasting adventure in the century-old schoolhouse, or on the patio, surrounded by vineyards. You will taste five wines, selected from across the different labels, including estate-grown Tangent and Baileyana wines, plus a selection from the True Myth label, bringing out the diversity of SLO County and the Edna Valley. If Brandon happens to be your server, you will be in for an extra treat. This young man displays a vivaciousness and enthusiasm that is infectious. Having grown up in the area, and majoring in viticulture, his knowledge, interesting and simple explanations of the area, grapes and surrounding vineyards will help to enhance your visit. An outing to Baileyana is an adventure in the history of the Edna Valley and the wines that represent and show off the region. Family friendly, you can’t help but enjoy sipping back to enjoy the estate wines of Baileyana, Tangent, True Myth and Zocker. Bring a picnic lunch, or purchase a cheese platter to accompany your tasting. Relax and appreciate the beauty of the region, the vineyards, and of course … the wines. The tasting room team will welcome you as part of the Nivens extended family … as they have been doing for more than 45 years. BY DON SONDERLING

New Wines, Tasting Experiences from Dragonette Cellars

FIGUEROA MTN

After careful consideration, Dragonette Cellars has released the last of its 2017 wines. Now available in the tasting room, at the winery or online is the longest aged 2017 Pinot Noirs: the Fiddlestix and Black Label, along with the 2017 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills and the newest MJM, the wonderful 2016. For whites, there are two highly rated Chardonnays from Rita’s Crown and Duvarita. Many of these wines are reserved for the wine club, and thus can only be sold in very small amounts to the general public. They will go even quicker than usual, so order now, or, better yet, join the wine club. That way, you ensure your access to these wines every year. In addition to the new wines, Dragonette Cellars has added new experiences to help you explore the history, philosophy and wines. They recently built out an area to the tasting room in Los Olivos for the Dragonette Cellars “Study,” which provides space for in-depth, sit-down, educational experiences. This tasting will include discussions of inspiration and philosophy within the context of the global wine world; the geology, viticulture, and winemaking practices; and tastings of the most SAN MARwines COS PASSin exclusive RDthe cellar, including the Black Label wines. 154

PremierPass Launches in The Santa Cruz Mountains The new PremierPass offers access to six premium wine tasting experiences each year at the most prestigious wineries in the region The Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association (SCMWA), which represents more than 65 grape growers and wineries nestled between San Francisco, Monterey Bay and Silicon Valley, takes its popular wine-passport program to the next level with the PremierPass. The PremierPass includes up to six premium wine tasting experiences that go beyond the ordinary tasting flight. Passholders can expect access to wineries that are typically closed to the public, private tastings with winemakers, food and wine pairing flights and exclusive tours. “For nearly 30 years, our wine passports have allowed people to discover Santa Cruz Mountains wines through traditional tasting flights,” comments SCMWA Executive Director Keikilani McKay. “The PremierPass is designed for those who want more than what is traditional; it is for wine connoisseurs and the wine curious who want to intimately get to know our wines, connect with our people and learn why wine from the Santa Cruz Mountains is so exceptional.” A limited quantity of PremierPasses are available for purchase now at scmwa.com for $175. Each wine tasting experience included in the PremierPass retails at $50 and over, which brings the total value of the pass to $350 for the year. Twenty of the region’s most prominent wineries are

participating in the PremierPass program, including: Armitage Wines, Bargetto Winery, Big Basin Vineyards, Burrell School Vineyards & Winery, Chaine d’Or Vineyards, Clos LaChance Vineyards, Eden Estate Wines, House Family Vineyards, Integrity Wines, Kissed by an Angel Wines, Lester Estate Wines, Martin Ranch Winery, Mindego Ridge Vineyard, Mount Eden Vineyards, Muns Vineyard, Neely Wine, Ridge Vineyards, Silver Mountain Vineyards, Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards, and Windy Oaks Estate Vineyards. To purchase a PremierPass or learn more about this program, visit scmwa.com/premierpass.

Santa Cruz Mountains AVA Overlooking the renowned Silicon Valley, the Santa Cruz Mountains is a winegrowing region where high tech gives way to high altitude. Here, where the mountains and Pacific Coast converge, more than 70 wineries and 200 growers produce wines shaped by the elevation and the ocean’s cooling influence. It’s a place where soaring cliffs drop into the sea, steep mountain vineyards overlook idyllic small towns, and tradition meets innovation. Shaped by its unique terrain and a maverick mindset, the Santa Cruz Mountains is a wine region for independent spirits with a taste for the extraordinary. For more information, contact the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association (SCMWA) by phone (831)-685-8463, by email at contact@scmwa.com, online at scmwa.com, on Facebook.com/SCMWA and on Twitter @SCMWA.

Ventura County Sun, Sand, History and Wine Fun! and premium wines. Take the self-guided 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 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 5:008:00pm) 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 room-winery 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 singlevarietal 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

“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 (but 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

Cannabis is for Lovers February is the month for sweethearts to celebrate their love. February 2020 is a Leap Year with five Saturdays, perfectly lined up for that special date. This year marks a wonderful opportunity to introduce cannabis into your traditional celebrations. Dispensaries are loaded with great gifts from the traditional “flowers” or chocolates (infused with THC) to new ideas: bath bombs, infused wine, soothing body oils, honeys, teas, and a wide variety of delicious smokes. Everything cannabis for creating sensations of relaxation, desire and laughter. On Saturday the 8th a brilliant full moon can kick off your romantic adventures. This Valentine’s Day, February 14th, lands on a Friday, giving us a Valentine’s Weekend to celebrate love. But wait, this year, a Leap Year, the extra day the 29th, only shows up on a Saturday every 28 years. This is also the day women are historically allowed to propose marriage. Tradition has it that St. Patrick in the fifth century declared that women, who were tired of waiting for their lovers to propose, could get down on one knee and request his hand in marriage. The custom evolved into requiring a fine be imposed upon any man refusing to say yes. He might also be required to buy a gift of gloves to hide her shame for not having a ring on her finger. In 1939, February 29th became Sadie Hawkin’s Day thanks to Al Capp’s classic hillbilly comic strip, Li’l Abner. The women of Dogpatch would enter a race to capture a bachelor who would then have to marry her. During my high school days, an annual Sadie Hawkin’s Day Dance was held. It was the only

time that a girl could invite a boy to a dance. Thank goodness times have changed now allowing many ways for everyone to express love. With romance on my mind and a friend by my side, we set off to take a quick tour of all the dispensaries in the City of Lompoc giving you a heads-up on great gifts for romance and love. The City of Lompoc has adopted a “free market” approach to cannabis sales. Presently, there are six very different retail stores/ dispensaries open for business. Our adventure began with preliminaries. You will need a government issued ID to prove you are over 18. Once inside a budtender will answer your questions. Every store we visited offered some type of discount for first time customers and other discounts for veterans, medical marijuana patients, or (the one we liked best) senior citizens. Taking advantage of our discount, we gathered a variety of amazing products from each store we visited. We enjoyed meeting and laughing with the young budtenders, shaking hands with an owner or two, all the while educating ourselves on what we could do to inspire a little love and happiness in our lives. Leaf Dispensary on the corner of Ocean Avenue and L Street was the first recreational store to open in Lompoc. A cozy room with a bright painted mural on the wall and electronic overhead menus all add much color and light. Their budtender, a young lady, was playfully surprised by all of our questions. “What strain would you recommend for a romantic evening?” Smiling, she suggested “The Hoof” for

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

flowers and a brand of Kiva chocolates. Leaf turned out to be the only dispensary that carried clones for the home gardener. To our delight, we found several good looking starts for Woody OG, a strain considered to be the original aphrodisiac. Or so we were told. (Mental note: return when starting gardening.) Next came The Roots Dispensary. A note to the locals: Roots is in the old Whistle Stop Bar & Grill on Laurel and O. Rocky Cobb owned and ran that iconic locale for 43 years. This dispensary has a definite masculine vibe with modern interior design. Roots has transformed an old bar and grill into a very inviting place for learning all about cannabis and to shop for some of the latest and most inventive products. Our budtender, Thomas, introduced us to all sorts of new ideas including, “Oh my, clutch my pearls,” pleasure! Whistle Stop patrons will be impressed. Next stop: Ocean Hye at Ocean and 3rd Street. Currently, Ocean Hye is being rebranded, having been bought by Cookies – Cannabis Brand, we were told. Their selections are presently rather sparse but the people we spoke to were very open and pleasant. Stay tuned. Seaweed Dispensary & Cannabis Lounge located at Ocean and 3rd. It is the first smoking lounge. Peter, Budtender/ Manager, gave us some intriguing suggestions for strains enhancing romance. AK 47 was a favorite. It is an awardwinning strain known for being uplifting, euphoric, relaxed, and happy. Peter also introduced us to a young, ambitious, cannabis chef. Next stop: South H Street, Old Town Lompoc. Here are two distinctively different dispensaries separated by a small, open lot. GreenHouse – A Cannabis Boutique is in an intimate space with a welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Only three people can enter at a time but the attention you receive is complete. And, what now seems a Lompoc tradition, the budtenders are polite, engaging and very helpful. Last stop: Elevate Lompoc. A note to locals, Elevate Lompoc is located in the old Blacksmith Restaurant. A lively reception room, full of energy, leads to the sales room which is flooded with natural light. The new owners have done a great job

Wine Country This Month: Central Coast

renovating this old restaurant space. In addition to staff and shoppers, several “brand reps” had set up tables to provide additional information about their products. Our entire dispensary “crawl” took us, “older ladies,” about two hours. We finished smiling with some wonderful products sure to deliver a relaxing and fun Valentine’s Day to remember. So, whether you are looking to liven up a long-time relationship or start a new romance, cannabis just may be the plant that takes your love higher. Enjoy.
