I can’t tell you how many times we’ve driven by the “big turnout” on Highway 46 West (I guess it’s a “Vista Point”), and most of you probably know the one I’m talking about. It’s the one where you overlook all the rolling hills and look down on to Cayucos, Morro Bay, and most impressively [...]
Yes, we consider this an adventure. Going to the movie theater wouldn’t seem like an adventure to most but to people like us it most certainly is! Why? Well, we’re glad you asked…we struggle to sit still for two hours therefore in the past five years we have only been to two movies and that [...]
We “blog“. We’re “bloggers”. Or, so that’s what “they” say. We like to think that we “write”. That’s what this blogging phenomena really is…it’s people writing, sharing their thoughts, feelings, opinions, photos, videos, voice, and whatever else comes across their mind with whoever is out there reading. As I’m sure you know, there are some [...]
So it seems most of our adventures have involved the ocean thus far and it’s simply because we absolutely find nothing but beauty and peace there…it keeps pulling us back. However, a couple of our previous ocean adventures were more based on some cool hikes and the ocean just happened to be there (haha). This [...]
Okay, okay…Starbucks may not be an adventure to most of you but hear us out… Our definition of adventure was to get out and do something that we haven’t done before, so even though we have physically been in a Starbucks before we had never made a point to go do the Starbucks “thing”.
I think we found the promised land…and it’s in Los Osos, CA. Well, if it’s not the promised land then it’s certainly up there. The place is called Montana de Oro and it is Disneyland for the outdoor lover and beautiful scenery seeker!! There are numerous (as in a LOT) trails you can jump on [...]

We’re all on this planet together, walking through life and encountering the world. We all bring different things to the table and have a completely unique combination of experiences that’s all our own. While all this is true, there’s still the blaring fact that we also have a lot of things in common; things like [...]
It’s that time of the year again; the weather is starting to turn just a little bit, football is finally on, and Costco has their Christmas decorations out already. This means that Fall is just around the corner and then we’ll be moving right into Winter, and so the cycle goes. Here in Paso Robles, [...]
We were the lucky ones that got invited to join our good friends, Bill and Ellen at a local concert event for a great cause. This was a musical event held at Castoro Cellars in Paso Robles on a balmy Saturday evening. In other words, this was the perfect summer evening; the kind of thing [...]
While at the Olive Festival a couple weeks back here in Paso Robles…we noticed something happening that we liked a WHOLE lot! We saw entrepreneurs! We know, neither are the same as wine, which is our normal topic of conversation…but we were so impressed with some of the vendors and it reminded us of what [...]

Whether the business is a wine tasting room, a restaurant, a retail store, a trade, or a professional services organization, there is nothing more important than providing [...]

There’s plenty of jokes that have been thrown around out there about Blondes and Brunettes, right? We’ve heard them all. It always seems to come down to figuring out who’s having more fun…and, really, who knows the answer but the Blondes or the Brunettes? We all have our pre-conceived notions about assorted characteristics and talents [...]

We’re spoiled with all of the events that go on around here, all up and down the Central Coast…but one of our all-time favorites is the Winemaker Cookoff! This is an event that showcases the BBQ’ing skills of the winemakers in the area, and pits them against each other for all of us wine drinkin’ [...]
There comes a time when each person that drinks wine needs to be in a movie! Not just any old movie, but a super fun movie that involves wine, friends, great live music, and sunshine. We like to mix it up a little every now and then, and this was a fun way to do [...]
We love getting out in to the vineyards and learning more about the farming side of winemaking!
