Last Sunday I got back from a short excursion through the Paso Robles, CA area, with many great highlights along the way. My favorite? York Mountain was running a sale (allegedly due to a reduction in their storage capacity): I got 3 cases for $30 each:
- 2002 Edna Valley Chardonnay
- 2001 Paso Robles Zinfandel
- 2000 Paso Robles Pinot Noir

Probably most here would opine these aren't stellar wines, but they sure were tasty and easy on the pocket book. I have never bought a case of anything, so needless to say I am sharing a great deal with my friends.

You can't drink $100.00 bottles every night of the week.

Why not? You do!

Then buying 3 cases at such a low price was a wise decision. Too bad they did not have a nice, oaky, Paso Robles Syrah.

What a jerk that would change their online name after 2000 posts.

spo, I'm starting to worry about you.

What the hell happened to your name!?!

I recently returned from a Cali trip that saw us hit Napa, Sonoma, Santa Cruz, Paso Robles and Santa Barbara County wineries....I saw signs for York but didnt turn off due to time.

I did hit Meridian and EOS (didnt like Meridian's wines) and EOS makes a killer Cupa Grandis Petite Sirah.

I wish I had more time to explore the region, and regret not visiting Justin.

We walked into Meridian and liked the nice grounds, but did no tasting. I wanted to save the vino calories for the smaller, out-of-the-way places.

We got there a minute after closing time, so no tasting there either. Beautiful place, though, and a nice drive.

OK, I give up. Who has a hyphen as her/his moniker?
