Paso Robles Harvest: By Any Means Necessary …

She Says: See, I told you… Older men are so sexy!

He Says:  Good to know.  I guess you’ll still love me when I’m 64.

She Says: Most definitely.  Especially if you’ve got a plane and a boat and a horse and a winery?

He and She both say:  You can read more about what’s waiting for you in Paso Robles on their website.  And this video publicizing Paso Robles California Harvest Wine Weekend is hilarious!  Enjoy! And get there if you can..

We love Paso Robles and if you visit the area, you’ll love it, too.  If you live near Los Angeles don’t have time to go all the way to Sonoma, you can taste great wine and exceptional food right in Paso Robles.  Just about 2 hours from Santa Barbara if you drive near the coast, but here’s a little time saving secret for you…

She Says:  If you take Interstate 5 from Los Angeles to Paso Robles (instead of driving through the always busy Santa Barbara) you’ll find there’s less traffic, GORGEOUS scenery and you’ll arrive in Paso Robles about 30 minutes faster. Check it out… and if you get there before me ~ tell Paso Man I’ll find him by any means necessary.

Halloween Gifts: Vampire Wine? Yep! Happy Halloween!

SHE Says: When HE finds out I posted this, he might make me take it down, but it’s my favorite holiday HALLOWEEN and I wanted to be sure you know that there’s a wine to match!

Vampire Wine

VAMPIRE WINE - Believe it or not, Vampire wine used to come from Transylvania.  Seriously? Seriously. Right in the center of Romania the finest wines in the world were produced a loooong time ago.   Legend has it that the wine from Transylvania was so good that the Romans stole many of the vines and replanted them in Italy.  Those Romans…  Years later, (can someone do the math for me?)  some very clever Americans imported the wine from Transylvania and branded it Vampire Wine.  I LOVED it.  Reds so dark  you could pretend it really was blood.  And what a great gift at Halloween time.  Perfect.

Alas, no more.   Now they are just another vineyard in Paso Robles.   No problems, Paso Robles wines are outstanding – it’s just not Transylvania.  The vampire from Paso Robles? Ok, I’m trying.  They are still enjoying the Vampire theme and extending their brand like any good American would.   I haven’t tasted it yet, so I can’t  vouch for the taste,  but I can definitely vouch for the fun.  So give it a go!  Take a few bottles to your favorite Halloween party! You’ll be the coolest ghoul in the room.
