8/14/2019 Central Coast Edition - November 14,2007
8/32
By Mark Storer
The wine-growing region of San Luis
Obispo is tiny. Only 3,500 acres are
under vines within two official AVAs;
the Edna Valley and the Arroyo GrandeValley. In SLO, theres really no prospect of
growing any more as building and develop-
ment have gone about as far as they can go.
But big isnt always better. Sometimes,
class, panache and taste win out.
The SLO County Vintners Association
joined together in 2005 to open Taste, their
downtown SLO interactive wine bar. The 16
wineries reasoned that since they were
surrounded by Paso Robles growers to the
north and Santa Barbara County growers to
the south, they needed to draw attention to
their small size that packs a big punch. So,
rather than allow word of mouth to do all
the work, the association opened a wine bar
that specializes in their wines exclusively.
Taste, however, is no simple wine bar
with waiters in black shirts and pants
pouring vintages. We were one of the first
to use the Enomatic, explains Becky Gray,
Director of the SLO Vintners Association.
The Enomatic, now found all over the US, is
a device that allows the consumer to choose
which wine they want to taste and have it
poured automatically from the machine
itself. Customers use a kind of credit card
that they purchase from the counter andload that into the Enomatic and then choose
the wine they want to try. The Enomatic is
actually revolutionizing the wine tasting
and wine sales industry. The Enomatic
makes the consumers choice paramount
and while there are always friendly staff
nearby to offer help when wanted, essen-
tially, the Enomatic and by extension, Taste,
has created an interactive experience for the
wine consumer. This allows the consumer
more of a say over their choices and so more
education takes place and wines get poured
that perhaps wouldnt in a normal wine-
tasting setting.
In keeping with its own unique tradi-
tions, though, Taste does more than pour
and sell wine. Wine Down Wednesdays
are featured each week and any one of the
local winemakers or their representatives is
on hand to discuss their wines. Taste is also
available for private parties with enough
advance notice and can offer its own peo
to come and pour SLO County wine
events around town. In addition, local w
writers and professionals drop by to
wine and introduce wine topics to edu
visitors on SLO County wines. November 24th, for example, Janet P
Franks will be at Taste to discuss her n
book entitled simply enough, San L
Obispo Wineries from noon to three.
These events are also an ode of sort
local cuisine featuring artisan cheeses,
example from the SLO grocery, Muzios
truffles from the Truffle Gardens.
specialize in domestic and imported che
and once a week, we get to show them o
Taste to pair them with the wines, says

$40. Other events include dollar pours when all the machines are
set to $1 per taste as well as special discounts on various bottles and
cases of SLO wines.
The wineries themselves have been more than pleased withTastes contribution as ambassador of their wines. I think they do
a great job, said Fredericka Churchill-Thompson, owner of Clai-
borne and Churchill Winery. Sometimes, theyll even have stocked
wines that weve run out of and so we can direct customers there to
get hard to find things, she said. Taste has also become part of the
local food and social scene. San Luis Obispo is not a very large city
and so restaurants in town can occasionally have a bit of wait time.
Instead of just hanging around, you can just walk down to Taste
and try some of the local wines and its really quite a nice place to
simply wait for your table, Churchill-Thompson says. Were really
very happy with them.
From ambassador of local wines to evening hang out to finder of
the hard to find, Taste fulfills a lot of roles in San Luis Obispo. And
like all things related to taste, Taste responds to the changes within
its own community while also setting trends with its focus on the
wines of a very special place nestled in between the giants along the
Central California Coast.
Taste is located at 1003 Osos Street in San Luis Obispo and is
open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and
Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (805)

In the wine trade, the term
cult is usually associated with
rare, pricy wines that are bought
and sold at auction, sometimes
changing hands several times
before someone realizes theyre
meant to be consumed rather
than traded. At the other end of
the spectrum is Beaujolais
Nouveau, a wine and an annual
harvest celebration started in
France centuries ago that
continues today as well as in
other countries. This cult is all
about enjoying the first wine of
the vintage with good friends andhearty food on the third
Thursday of each November.
In honor of this practice,
Adelaida Cellars presents its
Annual Beaujolais Celebration
and Fall Pickup Party at 6 p.m.,
Friday, November 16, in the
Barrel Room of its west side Paso
Robles facility.
Chef extraordinaire Claude
Chazalon will be serving tradi-
tional coq au vin (chicken with
wine) for up to 120 guests,
including wine club members
wishing to pick up their fall ship-
ments. The cost is $30 per
person and is complimentary to
all wine club members.
Beaujolais Nouveau is made
from the Gamay Beaujolais grape,
and unlike most red wines, it is
bottled without barrel aging prior
to release. The wine is extremelyrare in California and it is
believed that Adelaida Cellars is
its only Paso Robles producer.
Our goal is to capture the
exuberant personality of the
Gamay grape, said winemaker
Terry Culton. This aromatic dry
red wine is meant for immediate
gratification and consumption.
Fruit for Adelaidas Beaujolais
Nouveau was harvested August
29 at the winerys HMR Estate
Vineyard. One acre of Gamay
Beaujolais was planted in 1964
on what was then called Hoffman
Mountain Ranch. The historicvineyard also boasts the oldest
Pinot Noir vines on the South
Central Coast.
Reservations can by made
by calling 1-800-676-1232 or
online at www.adelaida.com.
Established in 1981, Adelaida
Cellars is a family-owned and
operated vineyard and winery
situated 16 miles from the Pacific
Ocean at 1,800 feet of elevation
in the Santa Lucia Mountains. Its
highly acclaimed Pinot Noir,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Rhne vari-
etals and Zinfandel originate in
two principal vineyards (HMR
and Viking) that are recognized
for their chalky mountain soils,
temperate climates and long
growing seasons. The winery
offers many interactive functions
throughout the year: an invitingtasting room, educational semi-
nars, library tastings, wine club
events, winemaker dinners and
seasonal festivals produced by
the Paso Robles Wine Country
Alliance (pasowine.com).

Pairing wine with fine cheeses isnt easy,
but the folks at Orchid Hill Vineyard &
Winery have diligently been up to the
task. The result is a memorable tasting expe-
rience that transforms a visit to the winerys
handsome tasting room in downtown PasoRobles.
It was a labor of love, said Susan West,
Orchid Hills public relations director.
Visitors to the Orchid Hill tasting room
indulge in a sensory experience that goes
beyond simply sampling wine although
that alone is worth a trip. The wine and
cheese pairings featured Fridays, Saturdays
and Sundays are part of what West calls a
full-service tasting room.
Art, wine, music, food it all goestogether.
Local olive oil produced by Templetons
Allure Estates is also available at the tasting
room, along with cookbooks from local
catering favorite Cahoots.
Opened in April, the Orchid Hill tasting
room is directly across from Paso Robles
historic City Park and is part of the towns
vibrant dining and wine-tasting scene.
A sweeping granite tasting bar and hand-
crafted cabinetry combine with a stamped-
concrete floor to create a warm environment
thats enhanced by attractive lighting and eye-
catching original artwork.
Vibrant, textured paintings of orchids by
renowned artist Jean-Pierre de Rothschild
decorate the walls of what was once an auto
parts store. That is, the paintings that arent
flying out the door. West said 38 of de Roth-
schilds works have sold just since the PasoRobles Wine Festival weekend.
The Orchid Room, a glass enclosed area
at the rear, is filled with exotic orchids grown
and tended by Estrella Schenkhuizen, whose
husband, Mike, owns the winery. The room is
available for private tastings.
It is Mike Schenkhuizens entrepreneurial
spirit, said West, that has driven not only the
Orchid Hill tasting room, but the winery, to
success.
When he sees what needs to be done,
just does it.
That included assembling a top-no
team including viticulturist Jim Smo
vineyard manager Dias Ruiz and winema
Dan Kleck to help nurture the wine
growth and development.Orchid Hills estate wines are made us
grapes grown on the winerys 51-acre vi
yard in the Templeton Gap region west
Paso Robles. Known for limestone soil an
climate featuring hot days cooled by la
afternoon breezes sweeping through from
ocean, the Templeton Gap is favored by wi
makers producing Pinot Noir and Syrah.
Indeed, those are the featured varietals
Orchid Hills program. Additionally wi
maker Kleck produces Zinfandel, Mus
Canelli, Viognier, and the soon-to-be relea
2005 Sangiovese and 2006 Grenache. T
2004 Zinfandel garnered a 91 in the W
Spectator!
The Orchid Hill Tasting Room and
Gallery is at 1140 Pine Street and is op

Its with great excitement and enthusiasm that the Donati Family
launches their newly released wines: 2006 Pinot Blanc, 2006 Pinot
Gris, 2005 Chardonnay, 2004 Merlot, 2005 Claret and 2004
Cabernet Sauvignon.Family viticulturist Matt Donati states, Our philosophy is to grow
grapes to the highest quality, so wines made from our fruit can meet
superior product expectations of winemaker Dan Kleck. This requires
that I pay close attention to detail, evaluate the potential of new vari-
eties that will thrive in our climate, and give Dan everything he needs
to succeed with his winemaking processes. This passion for detail is
what best serves our customers, and is reflected in our wines.
The Donatis came to Paicines (pronounced pie see ness), in Cali-
fornias Central Coast, in 1998 when they purchased land that would
soon become home to Matt Donati and his family. Since then, M
and his father Ron, engaged in planting the family vineyard and p
ning their state-of-the-art winery.
The vineyards developed by the Donati family are on some ofsame acres that Almaden Vineyards developed in Paicines. At
time of purchase, the land had been fallow for 10 to 15 years, b
small block of Pinot Blanc still remained. Five acres of this P
Blanc were left standing, and today still deliver outstanding f
Admittedly, tonnage is minuscule, but the Pinot Blanc flavors
exceptional.

P
attea Torrence jumped from the bed of
a pickup truck and hauled an old chairto the dusty driveway. She had acquiredthe piece and several others to add to thestock of the antique store she owns at thehistoric Old Edna Town Site in the heart ofthe Edna Valley wine country.
Its not unusual finding Torrence workinghard at Old Edna in the 10 years since sheand her husband purchased the two-acre site,that determination and willingness to get thedirty work done has helped transform thedilapidated buildings into a vibrant gatewayto Edna Valley.
In conversation, Torrence talks about thebuildings of Old Edna as living entities, andshe has breathed life into them. A wood-sided, tin-roofed building that fronts the two-lane highway has been restored and nowhouses the antique shop, an upstairs meetingroom and a deli.
But the centerpiece of the town site is the100-year-old country farmhouse that sits justbehind the deli and which has been turnedinto a bed-and-breakfast inn.
Taken together, Old Edna is a WineCountry hub, where tourists can get informedadvice about the valleys wineries whileputting together a picnic lunch to pair withtheir favorite local vintages.
As we care for our business, saidTorrence, we also realize the importance ofour central location as a proud central coreto an amazing, heart-felt experience to beshared by all.
Kim Frederick oversees a deli menu ofsandwiches made using fresh-baked breadsand homemade salads using local producewhenever possible, along with other goodies.
Frederick joined Torrence earlier this yearand, said Torrence, has elevated the deli intoa spot favored by locals and tourists alike.
Its also a favorite of bicyclists garbed incolorful gear, who often stop for a respite onone of the delis patios before resuming theirtour of the regions rolling hills.
For those fortunate enough to make OldEdna their home-base for a Wine Countryvacation, they soon find Suite Edna is hardlyjust another Wine Country bed-and-breakfast
getaway.Sure, the 1,200-square-foot, three-bedroom cottage is charming, with restoredmaple floors, a French country farmhouse
kitchen and a shady front porch. Beyond itscharms, though, is a heart and soul that lendsa sense of comfort and hominess that guestsmight not find at inns with a little highergloss.
Torrence is the person primarily respon-sible for the cottages graceful beauty,although she said many have helped in the
restoration process.Torrence, who grew up in rural San LuisObispo County, once boarded her horse as ateenager at the town site, and said reinvigo-rating Old Edna after it was abandoned hasbeen among the most rewarding accomplish-ments of her life.
Unlike most other bed-and-breakfast inns,Suite Edna is rented exclusively. In otherwords, theres no mingling of strangersaround the breakfast table. Instead, guestsmay invite their friends to stay in one of the
other two suites, or a family may rent cottage.
In fact, Torrence touts Old Edna as an ispot for children. For a few days, at least,
can live out a country childhood, explorinumber of nooks around the propertyplaying tetherball to the rear of the cottag
Theres plenty of leisure opportunitieswell, for grown-ups exploring the Edna Va Wine Country. A small breakfast cotnear the farmhouse provides a private retin which to enjoy a glass of wine and a gbook.
Elsewhere, Torrence is turning a gywagon built by her father which once pulled in parades into a more bohemstyle haven for guests.
The suites themselves are tastefappointed by Torrence, whose decorativeturns each room into a unique experience
Suite Edna is the centerpiece, a two-rosuite with French doors leading to a prideck. A king-size feather bed is in one rowhile the sitting room evokes an Old Wfeel.
The other two rooms, Suite Grace Suite Pattea, have their own unique style theres a single bathroom with a wondeclawfoot tub.
Meal vouchers are provided for guestuse at the deli, although the kitchen is fequipped for guests who prefer cookingbarbecue is also provided and is a popyear-round choice. Guests who choose nouse the vouchers receive reduced rental ra

If youve ever had the good fortune to visit a winery in Italy, you
know what its like to enjoy the combination of great wine, beautiful
scenery and most of all, warm and welcoming people. Now you dont
have to endure a 12-hour plane flight to experience the delights ofItaly. Falcon Nest Winery is the creation of Francesco Grande and his
lovely wife, Carolynn. Francesco was born in Calabria and grew up in
the Tuscany region of Italy. Like so many of his fellow countrymen, his
passion for food and wine has been the focus of his life.
For twenty-eight years he ran a successful and very, very busy
restaurant in Los Angeles. It took a long-time friend and customer to
convince him that he needed a little vacation. A trip up to the Paso
Robles wine-growing region was just supposed to provide a little rest
and relaxation. But with only one look at the stunningly beautiful
rolling hills of Central California, Francesco knew that it was time for
a new challenge. It was time to return to his roots.
Wine has been in my family for centuries. My father was a wine-maker, my grandfather was a winemaker as was his father before him
and his father before him! In Italy, it is a way of life, says Francesco.
With the gusto he gave to his cooking, Francesco has turned his
land into some of the finest vineyards in the area. His picturesque little
winery on the top of the hill looks over a seemingly endless sea of
vines. He now has fifty-five acres planted in Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah,
Petite Verdot and Zinfandel.
I love the art of cooking, but once the food is on the table, it is
soon gone. There is an art to winemaking as well plus it lasts a lot
longer. With aging wine becomes better. Food becomes worse! says
Francesco.
Francesco has not totally hung up his chefs apron, though.
tasting room offers an array of his handmade sauces and Ita
specialties. Guests are often treated to tasty morsels along side the
wines of Falcon Nest.
Falcons Nest Winery is located on Union Road in Paso Robles. tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. For more in

Relax and let Santa Barbara Adventure Company take care of all the
details for a unique wine-blending, teambuilding activity. Their
knowledgeable guides will meet your group at your hotel where you
will preview the days plan and head over to the local cooperative
winery called Cellar 205, home of the Oreana Winemaking Company.This is a great opportunity to sample and learn about local wines and
the winemaking process.
Winemaker Christian Garvin will greet your group upon arrival
and introduce you to some theories of wine blending. Your group will
be split into teams and the competition will begin.
Each team will be given three or more varieties to work with, as
well as any necessary tools. Teams will strive to create the best blend
while utilizing terminology and concepts employed by winemakers
and sommeliers. Ultimately the team must come to a consensus on
which blend best represents their efforts and will out perform the
blends of their competitors. The winery owner will judge the blendsand provide feedback.
Afterward, each team will design their own label and participate in
the bottling process. Each team member will go home with a bottle of
his or her special blend. This activity will not only educate participants
about the winemaking process, but will also sharpen negotiating
skills, improve team communication and foster team cooperation and
collaboration while having fun.
The price is $180 per person for a group of 10 participant
more. Fees include air-conditioned shuttle service from your hote
the winery, facilitated wine-blending activity as described and
bottle of wine per participant. Snacks and bottled water willprovided throughout the tour. Reservations are required.
For more information, call the Santa Barbara Adventure Comp
at (805) 898-0671 or visit the website at www.sbadventureco.com
