We meet again you social media infidels! This post may not be that interesting to those that consume products but don’t care about social media or marketing, so we apologize ahead of time. We feel that after spending three years involved with social media we have learned a ton on how to use it in [...]
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”.
You’ve seen us sipping on wine at the Paso Robles Garagiste Festival…we’ve shown you the small production winemakers that are living on the edge, making wine and living the dream! We’ve also given you the “feel” for the event, from the setting to the crowd to the food. What we haven’t shown you is one [...]
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 [...]
On our recent visit to Poalillo Vineyards we found out that Stanger Vineyards now pours their wine on the property as well. They have an east side of Paso Robles location, but wanted something on the west side…and where better than Poalillo! What’s on the Stanger tasting list? Well, we’ll tell ya: a 2007 Tempranillo, [...]
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 [...]
Just finished up with Crush & Roll West (cigar & wine event) this past weekend in Paso Robles and met some awesome new cigar friends as well as sipped on some amazing Paso Robles wines. One of our new stogie buddies is Glen Case of Kristoff Cigars…and all we can say is: his stogies are [...]
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, [...]
A very cool thing that Paso Robles has going on annually is the Classic Car Weekend! While you might be asking yourself “What’s so special about another car show?” we say hold the phone…this is a good time! It’s an all-weekend kind of thing that attracts hundreds of awesome classic cars to the downtown square; [...]
If you’re from ’round here…then you know who we’re talking about. If you’re not from ’round here then we’ll tell you that Jeanette Trompeter is a great anchor on our local news station and we got to talk to her! Not that we don’t love the other anchors, we appreciate and dig our local news [...]
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 [...]
Enough about all this wine stuff….well, sort of! We can never really seem to get enough wine, but we definitely need to take a break and have some tasty food to go along with it. After all, wasn’t wine meant to go with food??? Here’s our usual approach when heading out to do wine and [...]
We stopped in at Ortman Family Vineyard’s Tasting Room in downtown Paso Robles to get some tastes of their delectable wines and chat with our good friend, Hollie. We also wanted to talk to Ortman about the Second Annual #CabernetDay, seeing as how they make some damn good Cabernet Sauvignon. First, about Ortman…you’ve heard us [...]

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 [...]
If you could dream up the perfect Sunday afternoon, what would it look like? Well, here’s an idea for you: sipping a chilled Clavo Cellars Viognier on the back patio of the tasting room, enjoying the warm sun, all the while listening to the soulful sounds of our own local vocalist, Dan Curcio! Yes, this [...]
You’ve heard us talk about Pithy Little Wine Co. in the past, and we’re very excited to report that they’ve just opened their Tasting Room in downtown Paso Robles.
