Fourth annual forum and celebration of the region’s signature wine will be the biggest and most comprehensive yet
Paso Robles, California – Block out April 12-14 on those new 2016 calendars. You’ll be in glorious Paso Robles learning about—and tasting through—the best wines from this rising-star region.
The world-class quality of its signature Cabernet Sauvignon and red Bordeaux varietals are why Wine Enthusiast Magazine named Paso Robles Wine Region of the Year in 2013. And the annual CABs of Distinction event invites the world to discover and gain a ‘boots-in-the-vineyard’ understanding of why Paso Robles continues to win accolades and gain ground on celebrated appellations like Napa Valley and Bordeaux.
“The winemakers here could have gone anywhere in the world, but we all chose Paso,” says Winemaker & Owner, DAOU Vineyards & Winery, Daniel Daou. “And CABs of Distinction is the perfect event to learn why the toughest critics keep saying Paso produces some of the best wine in California, and in the world.”

The Judgement of Paso: A double-blind, sommelier-guided tasting of Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa, Bordeaux and Paso Robles.
