... or why you should join wine clubs. On August 29 we were blessed to be able to attend a club member appreciation dinner at Lynmar Estate Winery (just outside Santa Rosa). Our hosts, winery owners Lynn and Anisya Fritz, provided a sumptuous meal in their elegantly modern winery with a stunning view of mountains to the east and of bio-intensive vegetable gardens all around. What a terrific evening! What terrific wine!. Rather than try to describe the event in a thousand words, I'll just put up a link to my Facebook slideshow. |

We visited the northern San Luis Obispo (SLO) county area for the first time in the late 80s, first returning again in 2006 to western Paso Robles and the coast town of Cambria. We are impressed with the growth of the wine industry in SLO, as well as with the excitement and vintner creativity there. In many ways, Paso Robles reminds us of Sonoma County back in the 1980s – or Napa in the 1970s. The wineries are generally smaller, less crowded, and friendlier...going SLO. |

The Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association (SCMWA) invites member wineries to pour their pinot noirs the last Sunday of March at the lovely venue of Villa Ragusa in quirky downtown Campbell . If you live in Silicon Valley, It's usually been a great way to taste a lot of pinots without a lot of driving. We were lucky enough to attend both the 2007 and 2008 editions.This year 35 wineries trotted out about 75 pinot noirs for our tasting. There were two immediately noticeable changes from 2007. |
