The only free tasting room I knew of in Paso Robles was Tobin James, however, when I sat down to research and write this article (NOTE: This article was written in 2014, it would be best to check with the wienries you plan to visit to find out current fees.) I found may more. In…
A Continuation of Abe Schoener’s [The Scholium Project]… A NEW LESSON IN THE MORAL NATURE OF WINEMAKING: LES JARDINS DES ESMÉRALDINS The Moral Thinking of the Wizard There is a little more magic to mention: the invisible cellar, the shuttered chateau.

Truthfully, one could spend a day or two or three [depending on your speed and capacity] just visiting the Wilson-owned wineries and no others and have a wonderful wine country experience, traveling through Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley, Dry…
While I’ve known of and appreciated the great wines of the Dry Creek Valley for many years, it has only been over the last few that I’ve given them the attention they deserve. It is hard to believe that it took me so long, given the quality of the wines, especially those Zinfandels! But I…
