trip to california

[joeyz6]

I must thank WW and IK for their recommendations. I just got back from my month-long trip to California, five days of which were spent touring wine country. It was great. After Temecula, I spent a day in Sonoma, where I visited Dry Creek Vineyards, Pezzi King, Lambert Bridge, Armida, Rochioli, Davis Bynum, Martini & Prati, and the K-J Wine Center. Sonoma was stunning.

Down in San Luis Obispo I did a little tasting in town -- Seven Peaks, Talley, Domaine Alfred and Edna Valley. Then I spent two days in Paso Robles, visiting Tobin James, EOS, Eberle, J. Lohr, Justin, Carmody McNight, Le Cuvier, Wild Horse, Turley Cellars, Mastuantuono, York Mountain, Bonny Doon, Doce Robles, Midnight Cellars and, last but certainly not least, Hunt Cellars.

Phew.

Paso is pretty impressive, certainly becoming a player on the Cali wine scene. The Zin was great, especially.

Anyway, thanks again for the tips, and if anyone is heading out to any of those locations sometime soon or was interested in more details, email me or post. I'd be happy to offer my impressions. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
