About Us
We’re Hoot ‘n Annie and we’re just a regular couple that enjoys eating and drinking wine. Living right in the middle of some of the best wine country in the world – Paso Robles – gives us the opportunity to explore a huge variety of wines and some great food. We’ve decided that we need to learn more about wine, what to drink, how to talk about it, what to eat with it, and how to describe it to you better! Follow along with us as we learn…give us your opinion, ask us questions, or just laugh at our cheesy videos. We’ll probably throw a few random adventures in along the way to mix things up a little now and then. It’ll be fun…

Nothing ‘cheesy’ here! So much fun to see what you two are up to and get to tag along via your sites and blogs. Anyone who joins in is in for a great trip with a crazy (but focused), fun-loving (but serious), creative (really true!) couple who’s out to make the world a better place. Does it get any better than that???

Love your blog. I’m new at wine tasting (3 years now) and loving it. Wish I could travel more, I haven’t been to Sonoma or Napa yet but it’s on my agenda.

Hi Beverly! So glad you like the blog…it’s all about having fun while learning more about wine. Napa and Sonoma are like Disneyland for adults…but then again, so is Paso Robles! Keep us updated on your wine drinking, and cheers!!!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
You two are too cute, funny and clever. When can we expect some wine pairings with Liberty Jerky?

Hi there,
I am coming to Paso Robles in February to have a surprise Birthday party for my husband’s 60th and would be interested in having it at a local winery, if there was one that could have 15 to 20 people to suprise him and would have some food there to eat, but it doesn’t have to be a full meal. I am staying downtown and don’t want it too far from there for people to have to drive very far. Everyone loves wine of course and you sound like you know a lot about the area. I got your site from my sister in law who is your Mom’s first cousin from your grandfather’s side. Susie has connected with all the cousins and we hope all of them will be there too. It is alittle crazy, but that is normal for us. I will be in Paso on January 5th to scout out a place, so if you get this in time and know where I might go I would be very grateful for any direction I could go. Thank you Cindy Illions

Hi Cindy! Thanks for reaching out, and sounds like a great time! There are so many wineries in the area, but it’s pretty easy to pick an area and hit a few great ones. I can make a few suggestions for you, based on wineries not too far from downtown.
– A short way out Hwy 46 East, there is Derby, Eberle, Vina Robles. Vina Robles has a lot of inside and outside space that could work for bringing in food.
– If you stay downtown, within walking distance of Paso Robles Inn, you could hit Clayhouse, Pianetta, Parrish Family. Not sure which of those would be best for food…maybe Parrish Family.
– A short way out Hwy 46 West, hit Edward Sellers, Hope Family, and Summerwood. Edward Sellers has a great outside patio if the weather is good.
Let me know if you have more questions…we’re happy to help with suggestions!
Have a great trip and look forward to meeting you!
Cheers,
Annie
