Pelletiere Estate Vineyard & Winery Quality, Artistry, Elegance

One of Paso Robles newest wineries
is breaking ground in more ways than one.
From Proprietor Janis Denner to
Winemaker Amy Butler and Vineyard
Manager Mindy Allen, this powerhouse team
is making their mark on the wine industry
an industry predominantly male dominated.
Together, this all woman team is creating
luxury Italian wines and bringing elegance to
Paso Robles Westside, and doing it with style!
Janis Denner a Chicago native, found
herself in the beautiful Paso Robles five years
ago, after following her kids down from the
San Francisco Bay Area. A business woman
at heart, and a desire to build a legacy paying
tribute to her familys heritage, she set out to
find her next business endeavor. After
exploring many different options, she
realized her passion was wine. Once I
stumbled upon the AJB Vineyard property I
immediately felt at home. The Italian
varietals that were already in existence on the
property just spoke to me.
With her good business sense, she set out
to find a winemaker and vineyard manager
with the same creative passion. I hired the
brightest people with the qualifications that
best fit the vision I had for the winery. The
focus at Pelletiere Estate is to create luxury
wines for people who appreciate wine with
style. Amy Butler, the winemaker, is doing
just that! Amy Butler, a bit of a pioneer
herself, graduated from UC Davis with a
10
degree in Fermentation Science and a desire

to produce elegant, refined and understated
wines. Naturally, Pelletiere Estate was the
perfect fit. She has a true passion for creating
wines of subtle distinction and character,
while redefining stereotypes in and out of the
cellar.
Mindy Allen, of Custom Vineyard
Application, is a no stranger to vineyard
managementanother job traditionally held
by men in the wine industry. She has a
decade worth of experience working on the
Central Coast and extensive knowledge of all
facets related to vineyard developments, day
to day tasks and the long term goals it takes
to manage a successful vineyard. Mindy also

manages Martinez Framing Labor
Contracting to support her growing vineyard
consulting business.
These women are making a name for
themselves by working together to create
premium boutique wines. They share a
common vision and goal, and they all
contribute equally to the end result. At
Pelletiere Estate, they believe in quality,
artistry, elegance and sustainability through
simplicityand it just happens that they are
all women! For more information, visit 3280
Township Road in Paso Robles, call (805)
239-9432 or go to www.Pelletiere.com

I want Vina Robles to express a unique balance of European

April is one of our favorite months here at Castoro Cellars and for
good reason! April is Earth Month and that makes it a perfect time to
reflect on, celebrate and continue our relationship with Mother
Nature. Since its inception, Castoro Cellars has been focused on
sustainability, organic farming and working with Mother Nature to
make the best wines possible. It isnt always easy and it keeps you on
your toes, but that is what makes farming so gratifying!
This year we are proud to be hosting the annual Earth Day Food
and Wine Festival on Saturday April 18th. The festival is a benefit
event that supports farmworker education and sustainable agriculture
research, conducted by the Vineyard Team (vineyardteam.org), which
is a collaboration of growers, wineries, consultants, researchers and
natural resource professionals dedicated to promoting sustainable
winegrowing on Californias Central Coast. The main event will take
place in our beautiful Meadow, the same wonderful location that
plays host to our annual Beaverstock Music Festival. Vendors from all
over the Central Coast will be providing an amazing variety of food,
wine, beer and live music. This is truly one of the Central Coasts
premier events and we couldnt be happier to be a part of it!
After hosting Beaverstock in the Meadow on year one, we
instantly knew we were on to something special. Not only was the
APRIL 2015
event a barrel full of fun, the venue was absolutely magical. After
many long debates, we decided to keep the festival alive and see if we
could build something special in the community. In the past two
years, we have learned so much from the event and we cant wait to
make this year even better. We have chosen the weekend of
September 19th and 20th for Beaverstock and are currently working
on an amazing musical lineup. Like last year, we will feature local
food vendors, beer, artists and Dam Fine Wine. The event will be all
ages with games and activities for kids, and plenty of entertainment
throughout the day. This is an event you wont want to miss so stay
tuned, as more details will be coming soon.
With spring, we enter a time of year we all love, as the weather is
amazing and not yet as hot as the coming summer months. Starting
in May, our outdoor summer concerts begin with the Lazy Locals
series followed by a number of SLO Folks concerts throughout the
summer. If youve never experienced an outdoor concert at Castoro
Cellars, there will be plenty of opportunities this summer and we
cant recommend them enough. There really is nothing better than
listening to wonderful music with friends, while enjoying great wines
and warm weather. As always, there are a lot of exciting things
happening at Castoro Cellars and we look forward to seeing you this
spring and summer.

Mamas Meatball
Fine Italian Restaurant & Catering in San Luis Obispo
Ask locals or somebody in the restaurant businessa bartender, a
waiter, even a bus boywhat they think of Mamas Meatball in San
Luis Obispo and their eyes roll towards the heavens as they breathe a
deep sigh; that is how good Mamas Meatball is. Set in a small
courtyard off of one of the towns main streets in a place called the
Old Creamery, Mamas Meatball is actually divided in two. On the
right is the takeout where people line up to get their orders of
meatballs and more. To the left, fronted by a huge-trunked tree and a
water fountain, is the intimate restaurant with its mural of the
Mediterranean across the back.
Meatballs aside, the restaurant, under owner and chef Nicola
Allegretta, offers a wide range of authentic Italian dishes. Among
them are half a dozen soups, a long list of salads (including grilled
salmon and a refreshing pear and gorgonzola), some wonderful
antipasto choices, both hot and cold paninis (including, of course,
one made with meatballs) and plenty of pasta dishesthe Ravioli di
Pollo all Vodka, homemade ravioli filled with chicken and served in a
vodka sauce, cannot go unmentioned. There is also a heady selection
of meat and fish dishes as well as any number of traditional and
specialty pizzas, and some far too-tempting desserts.
For a visit to the most authentic fine Italian restaurant in town,
head to Mamas Meatball, located in the Old Creamery plaza at 570
Higuera Street in San Luis Obispo.

Wine Tasting in
ts no wonder the people here

call it SLO. No one is in any hurry
in the cafs or on the sidewalks, and
certainly no one is in any rush to
leave. Strangers are genuinely
friendly, always ready to talk about
their favorite hiking trail or
barbecue joint, or to point the way
to the winery with the best Pinot
Noir. Its all part of the SLO life, that
combination of good stuff that
makes visiting here so nourishing to
the soul.
San Luis Obispos unusual natural
beauty, along with its gentle climate,

first attracted the Spanish padres to
the area in the 1700s. In 1772 they
built the fifth of Californias 21
missions here, on the banks of San
Luis Creek, and named it Mission
San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Today,
many consider this the most beautiful of the Spanish missions.
More than 200 wineries produce

critically acclaimed vintages in
Paso Robles, Edna Valley and
Arroyo Grande Valley. Visitors can
head out along the gorgeous
country roads to sip their way
through the vineyards.

Obispo County, go to visitslo.com

For the most part, going wine
tasting is about the easiest thing in
the world, especially in California
where wineries and tasting rooms
abound. Mostly, wine tasting is a
matter of doing a little research and
planning your day. Here are some
tips that have proven to be helpful
and are designed to help make the
sensory adventure of wine tasting all
the more enjoyable.
Before you start off, pack a few

essentials. Water (plenty of water)
and something to snack on
crackers or a baguette. Many
wineries have picnic areas and there
are plenty of delis and bakeries that
can make up a lunch for you, or
make your own.
Be sure to nibble during the day and
make time for lunch. Two tips: drink at
least twice as much water as you do
wine, and remember that you dont
have to drink everything poured
into your glass.
Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time
again I have heard knowledgeable
winery workers say that there is no
such thing as a stupid question, and
they mean that.
You can drink what you want, in the order
you want. If you like reds, say so; if
you dont like sweet wines, speak
up. But the idea of starting with
whites, then going on to reds and
then sweet wines is a good guide.
If there is a particular wine you want to
try and it is not on the list, ask. Most
tasting rooms are happy to pour a
little if you show enthusiasm.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK
EOS ESTATE WINERY

BY KIM MURPHY RODRIGUeS
Passionate Wines from Paso Robles

A popular wine tasting destination in Paso Robles since the mid80s, Eos winery's name originates from the passionate Greek
Goddess of Dawn, who, according to legend, opened the gates of
heaven each morning allowing the sun to rise. At Eos, the wines
reflect the same passion with a focus on producing great wines
dense reds, complex whites and luscious dessert wines. Acquired by

Baileyana Winery
A Versatile Pairing
Oak Roasted Salmon with Baileyana Firepeak
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
Pairing wine with food can be intimidating but with a little
experimentation and making sure youre stocked with a great
bottle of wine, you are already on the path toward success.
Think outside of the box; it doesnt have to be one wine
paired with one course. In fact, break the rules a little. With this
particular recipe, Baileyana Winery has offered a red and white
option that will transform your dish beautifully. Choose one, or
try them both side by side if you prefer!
Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grapes that originated
from the highly acclaimed Burgundy region in France. These
grapes thrive in cool climates, much like within the AVA
(American Viticulture Area) of Edna Valley, where Baileyanas
estate Firepeak vineyard resides. The vineyard is a mere 5.4
miles from the Pacific coast. The cool, coastal climate and rocky,
clay-loam soil attributes to a very favorable flavor profile in the
wines. Each wine has a balanced acidity, subtle fruit
components, and hints of spice and vanilla which are attributed
to the French oak barrels utilized during the maturation of the
wines.
Some might ask, Salmon with white? or Fish with red? It
may be surprising, but because of salmons dense flavor profile
and heavy texture, it can not only stand up to a Pinot Noir, but
also not overwhelm a Chardonnay. By charring the salmon, it
adds more complexity to the dish, giving it a roasted component
The spices of the recipepeppercorns, coriander seeds, bay
leaves and fennelfuel the earthy nature of the Pinot Noir and
add zip to the Chardonnay. You will not be disappointed with
this easy and delectable dish!
For more food and wine pairing ideas and to taste Baileyanas
sister wineries, True Myth, Tangent, Cadre, Trenza and Zocker at
the tasting room in Edna Valley, visit them at 5828 Orcutt Road
in San Luis Obispo; they are open daily from 10:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. For further information about the wines, call
(805)-269-8208 or visit the website at www.baileyana.com
OAK ROASTED SALMON

Ingredients:
4 six-oz salmon filets, skin on
2 cups Baileyana Chardonnay
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black peppercorns
2 tsp coriander seeds
2 tsp fennel seeds
2 bay leaves (preferably fresh)
a few leafy tops of a fennel bulb, chopped
Directions:
1. Soak a piece of split oak big enough for the filets for at
least two hours in water.
2. Put the brine ingredients (wine, sugar, salt and spices)
in a pan and simmer for a couple of minutes.
3. Remove from the heat, add the fennel tops and allow to
cool completely.
4. Lay the filets in a dish, pour over the cooled brine mixture
and allow to stand for 20 minutes or so.
5. Get your grill hot and place the soaked wood directly over
the flames (close the lid for a couple of minutes if you have
one).
6. When the wood starts to smoke turn it over and place the
salmon on the scorched part, skin side down. Grill until just
cooked through; this will only take five or six minutes if you
have a lid!
7. Serve with rice or couscous and a crisp green salad. Enjoy
with your choice of wineChardonnay or Pinot Noir!

Calcareous Vineyard
Savory Tarts & 2012 Trs Violet
In the winegrowing region of Paso Robles, there is no denying the
incredible wines that are produced from vines planted in the local,
calcareous soilseverything from Bordeaux varietals like Cabernet
Sauvignon to classic Rhne varietals like Grenache, Syrah and
Mourvdre. For Calcareous Vineyard, located on the westside of Paso
Robles, their 2012 Trs Violet is a beautiful expression of Rhne
varietals and the calcareous soils in which the vines are planted.
The 2012 Trs Violet is a classic Rhne blend of Grenache, Syrah
and Mourvdrethree varietals that have beautiful synergy on the
palate and make for a very food-friendly wine. This savory tarts
recipe from Calcareous Vineyard is a perfect match for this wine.
With just the right amount of complementary flavors and a delicious
flaky pastry, this pairing satisfies both in taste and texture.
When these three varietals are blended together well, the
combination creates a highly aromatic and flavorful wine that is full
of savory characteristics; leather, graphite and tobacco are balanced
by blackberry and mocha flavors, enveloped in earthy tannins and
subtle French oak. These savory qualities are a wonderful
complement to the fresh thyme, kalamata olives and feta cheese in
the savory tarts. Additionally, the flaky pastry brings a bit of body to
this wine and creates playful texture interactions on the palate. This
pairing is the perfect combination to serve as an appetizer before
dinner, or on its own as a small bite at a festive gathering!
For more food and wine pairing from Calcareous Vineyard, visit
the tasting room on Saturdays and Sundays to experience their
Thomas Hill Organics food and Calcareous wine pairing. The tasting
room is located at 3430 Peachy Canyon Road in Paso Robles; they are
open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information about
Calcareous Vineyard, call (805) 239-0289 or visit their website at

SLO Wine Country Celebrates 25th Anniversary in 2015

Launches Monthlong Wine Adventures Experience in April
The San Luis Obispo (SLO) Wine
Country Association is charging into its
25th anniversary year with fresh energy,
reinventing its signature Roll Out The
Barrels event as a month-long celebration
of immersive wine adventures at various
wineries throughout April.
This is a time to not only celebrate our
roots, but also to change things up and
build upon our momentum as an up-andcoming wine region, said Heather Muran,
executive director of SLO Wine Country,
the intimate coastal winegrowing region in
southern San Luis Obispo County on
Californias Central Coast.
The new Roll Out The Barrels
experience begins on the week of April 6,
and concludes at the end of the week of
April 27. The entire month will offer a
variety of winery adventures and activities
on an a la carte basis, organized by weekly
themes such as Taste The Coast, Farm to
Fork and Sustainability & Heritage.
Examples of these adventures include:
34
Comparative barrel tastings with

Winemaker Stephen Dooley at Stephen
Ross Wine Cellars, allowing guests to
experience the differences between newer
and older barrels, different types of
French oak and more.
A ranch hike with Winemaker Peter Cron
of Filipponi Ranch Cellars, to conclude
with wine tasting, artisan cheeses and
local barbecued sausage.
A hands-on tour of Talley Farms followed
by a gourmet lunch at Talley Vineyards,
with Chef Dave Schmit featuring seasonal
Talley Fresh Harvest vegetables paired
with Talleys newly released
Chardonnays.
The final week of Roll Out The Barrels
will feature the Barrels in The Plaza wine
and food pairing event at Mission Plaza in
San Luis Obispo on Thursday, April 30. A
full schedule of adventures and events is
forthcoming.
While commercial wine was first
produced in SLO Wine Country in the late
19th century, it wasnt until the 1970s that
the modern wine industry began to emerge
locally. The formation of the SLO Wine
Country Association in 1990 marked a

turning point, with local wineries banding
together to create a unified organization
dedicated to serving and promoting the
region. This year, the association is not only
celebrating its 25th anniversary, but also
embarking on a new five-year strategic plan.
The history of SLO Wine Country is
very deep and diverse, Muran said. At the
same time, we feel like we are really hitting
our stride right now. The reinvented Roll
Out The Barrels celebration is an example of
how we are staying true to our roots while
embracing a fresh direction.

ON THE COVER
ANDREW MURRAY VINEYARDS

SUBMITTeD
Andrew Murray fell in love with the classic Rhne varietals,

specifically Syrah and Viognier, in the late 1980s as he traveled
through Frances Rhne Valley. At the time, he was enrolled at UC
Berkeley studying paleontology, but in sampling the wines in France,
there was a shift in his thinking. Capitalizing on this newfound
enthusiasm for wine, he decided to do an internship in Australia at a
winery, focusing on the production of Shiraz. When Andrew returned
to the U.S., he earned himself a Bachelors degree in Viticulture and
Enology from UC Davis, and then founded his eponymous Los
Olivos winery and vineyard, dedicated exclusively to his favored
Rhne-style wines. Today, Andrew Murray Vineyards is synonymous
with some of the states premier Rhne wines, from sell-out vineyard
designated Syrahs to wildly popular blends!
In January of 2014, Andrew expanded his brand when he opened
his new Winery and Visitor Center in the former Curtis Winery
location. He also took over the management of the Curtis Estates
100+ acres of premium wine grapes. This opportunity fully realized
his dream to be back on Foxen Canyon Road, growing Rhnes again.
Andrew and his team look forward to visiting with you at the newly
updated hospitality and event center, and pouring you a glass of wine
to enjoy on their recently completed Terrace, with stunning views of
neighboring vineyards and the looming face of Grass Mountain.
They also now offer a full Wine Country Concierge service to help
plan your visit. They can arrange anything from a reserved table at
the winery to a fully stocked picnic basket and a chilled bottle of
their fragrant Viognier. Weekends will feature live music or other fun
opportunities; please check their website for more information.
At the tasting bar, there are roughly five to seven different wines to
sample and a couple of very affordable tasting options. Their staff is
very friendly and wine knowledgeable, which allows for a lot of fun
conversation and a bit of wine education for the more curious
visitors. There are several new wine releases available in the tasting
room right now, including the 2013 Syrah Tous les Jours which
recently earned a 93 point score and rave reviews from Wine
Enthusiast. There is also the 2012 Esprance, red blend of Syrah,
Grenache and Mourvdre, that just garnered a 91 in Wine Spectator.
They are also featuring several limited, single vineyard Syrahs right
now. Of particular note are the 2013 Syrah McGinley Vineyard from
the Happy Canyon AVA and the 2013 Syrah Watch Hill Vineyard
from Los Alamos. Looking for something like Chardonnay, but
different, then you must try their Roussanne and Grenache Blanc
blend, known as the 2013 Enchant, or their wonderfully perfumed,
yet dry, 2013 Viognier from their new vineyard in Santa Maria.
They are conveniently located just a few miles from downtown
Los Olivos, where they have a second tasting room to serve you if
you simply do not have the time to venture out Foxen Canyon Road.
When you visit their Los Olivos tasting room, make sure you check
out Andrews new range of wines, This is E11even, a nod to a classic
rock n roll movie from the 80s. This new range of wines takes
Andrew out of his Rhne comfort zone and into some fun, new
territory. The highlight is a deliciously balanced Pinot Noir, from a
single estate vineyard in Santa Maria. There is also a Cabernet blend,
a Petit Verdot and a deliciously crisp white blend simply named
Unplugged. Andrew Murray Vineyards Winery & Visitor Center is
located at 5249 Foxen Canyon Road, and is open daily from
10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Los Olivos Tasting Room is located at
2901 Grand Avenue and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
For more information, call (805) 686-9604 or visit their website at

SIGNATURE VARIETALS
A Walk Around Tasting is a

combination of a tour and a tasting.
Your host brings along several
bottles of wine on your tour, and
may take you to a garden area of
the winery to pour the first round.
Then you move to another place
within the winery to sample the
next wine. This experience
continues until all the wines are
tasted.
Barrel Tasting
Another popular tasting experience that can be part of a tour or a
Walk Around is a Barrel Tasting.
Your guide takes a wine thief, a
special siphon placed into a hole in
the top of a barrel to extract tasting
samples of a maturing wine. The
sample allows you to taste what the
wine is like in the middle of developing its full potential.
Why make an appointment?
A Sit Down Tasting usually

requires an appointment, and there
may be a slightly higher fee than a
wine bar fee. Seated in an elegant
room, you are poured several wines
by your winery host. Expect your
host to describe the unique characteristics of each wine and how it
was made.
Walk Around Tasting
The most common tasting experience is a Wine Bar Tasting. You

step up to the bar where typically a
list of wines being poured is
displayed. Expect to pay a tasting
fee between $10-$40. Some tasting
bars will offer you the option to
taste a library or reserve wine.
Exercising this option increases the
fee, but will allow you to taste very
unique, old or rare wines.
Sit Down Tasting
Wine Bar Tasting
Some wineries are so small that

they need to know when you are
coming so someone will be there
to greet you. Others have sit-down
tastings that start and end at
specific times. Its always a good
idea to schedule your appointments well in advance.

SANTA MARIA VALLEY
Welcome to
Costa de Oro Winery
Costa de Oro Tasting Room & Marketplace is located right off of

Highway 101 in Santa Maria. This site pays tribute to the history
behind Costa De Oro - it was the strawberry stand for Gold Coast
Farms, the parent company of Costa De Oro, which has been farming
Santa Maria since 1978. Gold Coast Vineyard was planted to 20
acres of Pinot Noir and 10 acres of Chardonnay in 1989, and these
grapes were sold to the areas best wineries including Au Bon
Climat. Gary Burk, Costa de Oro co-owner & winemaker, was
fortunate to work in the winery with Jim Clendenen, from 19942002, and during this time he began to make his own wine. Gary
started with just one barrel of Chardonnay and one barrel of Pinot.
Today, Costa de Oro produces over 6000 cases featuring Chardonnay
& Pinot Noir from the estate Gold Coast Vineyard. The best place
to experience the wines is at the Tasting Room and Marketplace,
where guests can taste five wines for only $10. In addition to regular
tasting room hours (normally 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily), each
Friday evening, Costa de Oro hosts Friday Night Wine Downs
featuring live music from local musicians and $12 dinner plates
prepared by Chef Rick! Another facet to the Costa de Oro portfolio is
their Wine on Tap. Kegged wine, wine stored and shipped inside
five gallon kegs instead of bottles, has been gaining popularity

throughout the past several years. Costa de Oro started kegging wine
for high-end accounts, like Roys Hawaii. Now these wines, a white
and a red are available in the tasting room by the glass and by the
growler (these can be refilled). Costa de Oro Wine Club members
receive discounts on keg wines, bottled wines and complimentary
tastings.

Bell Street Farm is a distinct eatery and market in the heart of wine
country in historic Los Alamos. An ideal destination for residents and
visitors alike, the country chic setting offers a warm and inviting
atmosphere to enjoy a meal, snack or sample local wines.
I work with local artisans, food purveyors, winemakers and
farmers to create a distinct dining and retail experience at Bell Street
Farm, says Jamie Gluck, owner of Bell Street Farm. The space is an
expression of my lifelong passion for fine foods and we use only the
freshest ingredients found along the California Coast.
The eatery was designed to reflect elements found from the
original 1916 building with a modern charm. Gluck scoured the
area to find materials and design elements that would work with the
design. He works with local artisans like woodcrafter Richard Motz
to create chopping blocks and cheese boards as well as Ramona
Clayton of nearby Terrmonary to custom-create all of the ceramic
serving dishes used for serving olives, salads and cheeses.
Bell Street Farms menu offerings include sandwiches with locally
made breads and California cheeses, farm fresh salads with vegetables
and greens from local farms, rotisserie Huntsinger free-range chicken,
unique salads and house-made cookies, pot de cremes and sweets.
All retail offerings are carefully selected to reflect the local area
experience and include picnic baskets, aprons and assorted kitchen
items, luxurious hand and body products, as well as culinary themed
gifts. Bell Street Farm also offers custom designed picnic baskets for
groups of two people to 200.
Located in the heart of Downtown Los Alamos, Bell Street Farm is
just 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara and 75 miles from Paso
Robles. The eatery and market is open Friday and Saturday from
11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday and Monday from 11:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. and offers seating for guests to enjoy a meal, snack or glass
of wine as well as an open-air patio.

Cambria Estate Winery is located in the heart of the Santa

Maria bench, a long flat mesa overlooking the Santa Maria
River in Santa Barbara County. This family-owned winery has
been producing estate-grown, vineyard designate wines since
1987. It is for this reason that you get a true expression of the
land. I especially enjoy the agricultural part of the
winemaking process because that is what usually determines
the character of the final wine product, says Winemaker
Denise Shurtleff. Every block of grapes and each lot of wine
has a life, a personality of its own, and evaluating the different
stages of the wine and the decisions that are made during the
winemaking process are always unique to each vintage, she
adds. Cambria is best known for their Chardonnay, producing
five different iterations, of which their Katherines Vineyard has
long been one of the standards in Santa Barbara. There are
seven versions of Pinot Noir produced at Cambria and they
also make small amounts of Syrah, Pinot Gris
and Viognier,

Wine Tasting in
Larner Vineyard & Winery Strives for Balance, Harmony
BY MICHAeL CeRvIN
SAN MARCOS PASS RD
FIGUEROA MTN
Our wines are driven by the soil they are derived from, says
winemaker Michael Larner. As a geologist I feel that our soils speak
louder than what I could craft in the
winery, however as a winemaker my
influence is more European having
worked in both France and Italy, I
strive for balance and harmony
coupled with age-worthy quality
wines.
Every wine made locally inspires
all of us to greatness, says Larner. As a
founder of the new Ballard Canyon
AVA in Santa Barbara County, Larner
and his family-run winery is home to
their 34-acre estate planted to Syrah,
Grenache, Mourvdre and Viognier. As a small tribute to their Italian
heritage, the Larners also have one block of Malvasia Bianca. But it is

Syrah where Larner shines. We feel Syrah is our champion as it is

best suited on our estate and represents the AVA as the strongest
varietal, he says. We are special because of our natural acidity at
harvest, promoting longevity and
balance. By selling their grapes before
they ever made wine they helped
establish the vineyards reputation for
quality. In a sense we did things
backwards, Larner admits but he
strongly believes that what sets them
apart is his strict growers philosophy
that distinguishes wines made from
those grapes. We have farmed grapes
for dozens of excellent, boutique
winemakers over the past decade,
many of whom use the Larner
Vineyard designation on their wines, Michael says. And though he
uses much of the fruit for his own wines, his grapes are still in high
demand.
Larner is a small lot producer and their tasting room is open daily,
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is located at 2900 Grand Ave., Los
Olivos. Contact them directly at (805) 688-8148 and ask about a

J Ludlow Vineyard
RACHeL HOMMeL
J Ludlow Vineyard, up in the idyllic Los Olivos area, is the home

away from home for owners Allan and Jane Jones. Originally from
Cardiff, Wales, the couple fell in love with the Santa Ynez Valley
during one of their many trips to California. Stumbling upon a
beautiful ranch in Happy Canyon, they quickly developed an interest
in wine, purchasing Westerly Stud Farm in 2007. Keeping
production small, their dedication to their craft is evident by their
numerous awards and recent accolades.
Their Los Olivos tasting room, opened April 2014, is a new player
in the area, producing delightful and memorable wines unique to the
Los Olivos region. With high ceilings, big windows, and a welcoming
atmosphere, it is the perfect place to grab a glass of their awardwinning wine. Sourcing most of their grapes from Camp 4 and La
Presa Vineyards in the Valley, the winery strives to keep things local
and family-run, dedicated to great taste and a sheer enjoyment of wine.
In the near future, J Ludlow plans to plant more than 80 acres of
their grapes, focusing predominately on Bordeaux varietals of Merlot,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. When choosing varietals,
they wanted wines that would highlight varietals uncommon to the
region, while sharing their passion for French wines. Though the
couples background is in coffee production, they have successfully
transformed a new agricultural product blending their taste and

passion for the region.

Family ties inspire each varietal, including their wine club aptly
entitled The Old Ludlowdian. One of their most popular sellers,
Kemsley Cabernet Sauvignon is named after Allan, who holds the
prestigious title of Lord Kemsley in Great Britain. The winery itself is
named after the street Allan was born on. And of course, the 2008
Jane Merlot, a gold medal winner at the Los Angeles International
Wine Competition, is named after his beloved wife. Other unique
wine club highlights include a Pinot Grigio and Primitivo Rose,
perfect for any summer picnic.
Heavily involved in charity, the Jigsaw logo signifies their
commitment to fighting autism and Aspergers worldwide (a common
symbol in healthcare and popular culture). In their native country,
Allan and Jane Jones own Beechwood College, a specialist residential
college for students dealing with these very conditions. They also
work closely with the Koegel Autism Center at UC Santa Barbara and
make a donation to the center for every botle of Sauvignon Blanc
sold in the tasting room.

Wine Tasting in
Toretti Family Vineyards
Santa Maria is a bit of a difficult place to describe to Pinot-philes

who havent been there. Its basically a cowboy town full of ranchers
and farmers and big, manly trucks. Lots of cowboy hats, cowboy
boots and big belt buckles. Not exactly the backdrop most imagine of
when daydreaming about wine country, especially that of the refined
Pinot Noir. Nevertheless, the Santa Maria Valley produces bar none,
some of the finest Pinot Noirs that the entire state of California has to
offer. You just have to come to grips with the image of cowboys and
an open fire grill lined with sizzling beef in your fantasy.
One such cowboy figure is Bob Torres. Torres family has been in
Santa Barbara Countys Santa Maria Valley for over 100 years. A local
legend himself since he opened his first Pappys restaurant in 1957,
Bob is an old-school Santa Maria guy, with the cowboy hat, cowboy
boots and belt buckle to prove it. He loves this land.
Bob planted five acres of vines on his Santa Maria estate in 2000.
The quality of the fruit was recognized immediately, and Caymus
Chuck Wagner snatched up all he could get. In 2006 Torres bottled
under his own label Toretti Family Vineyard.
Forget the images of cowboy country when you enter their Los
Olivos tasting room. It has a relaxed cowboy atmosphere and reflects
their rich family history. Bobs daughter, Milena manages the tasting
room and will welcome you.
Visit the family at 2933 San Marcos Avenue, Suite 101. Visit their

Vineyards in the new Malibu Coast AVA offer new

tourism and recreational attractions to the region.
With the granting of AVA (American
Viticultural Area) status to the Malibu Coast
region, the Federal Governments TTB
Bureau has acknowledged the unique
character of the vineyards in the region and
given consumers a qualitative benchmark to
seek out.
John Gooden, of Montage Vineyards, is
the leader of the Malibu Coast Vintners and
Grape Growers Alliance. This is an
incredible area in which to grow wine
grapes, offering the perfect combination of
sun, soil and weather to create world-class
wines. Receiving the AVA designation is the
culmination of time and effort by members
of our organization to show how special this
region is. We welcome everyone to come out
for a visit and enjoy the beauty that
surrounds our vineyards while you enjoy our
wine.
The Malibu Coast AVA wine region is
bordered on the south by the Pacific Ocean
and on the north by Ventura Countys
Conejo Valley. Encompassing roughly 45,000
acres, only about 200 acres are planted to
vines, guaranteeing the thriving ecological
diversity of the region. The rich volcanic soil,
coupled with cooling Pacific fog and the
temperate Southern California climate, has
long produced award-winning wines and
brought visitors from around the world.
Vineyards have been part of the Malibu
scene since the 1820, when Jose Bartolome
Tapia planted vines on the Rancho Topanga
Malibu Sequit. Local pioneer Matthew Keller
planted hundreds more acres of grapevines
further up the coast in Solstice Canyon in
1857, naming it the Rising Sun Vineyard (his
old stone cabin still stands, an easy hike from
the Pacific Coast Highway). The first modern
day vineyard was planted in 1985 by Michael
and Kim McCarty and since then, over 50
54
additional vintners have taken advantage of

the outstanding growing conditions offered
by the area, and are now producing world
class grapes. From the luscious Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay vineyards overlooking the
Pacific Ocean, to the bold and elegant
Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah growing high
in the canyons, the Malibu Coast is truly a
paradise for wine lovers.
The Malibu Coast wine country is
extraordinarily accessible to the many
residents of Los Angeles and Ventura
counties as well as to visitors to Southern
California. Tasting rooms on the Malibu
Coast and up in the hills off of Mulholland
Drive are easily reachedmost wineries in
the area are family-run operations and they

take great pride in their vineyards, relishing
the opportunity to introduce visitors to the
beauty of the area and the quality of their
wines. The Malibu Coast Vintners and Grape
Growers Alliance has a website with plenty
of information about the Malibu Coast AVA.
Visit www.malibucoastava.com. They look
forward to your visit! For further
information, please contact Dan Fredman via
email at dan@danfredman.com or by phone
at (323) 899-9463. Join the Malibu Coast
AVA on social media by liking them on

that provides one of the most memorable and intimate wine tasting
experiences in Southern California. This is the tasting room for
Sunland Vintage Winery, owned and operated by Michael Giovinazzo

The name for Sunland Vintage Winery was inspired by Michaels
grandfather, Giuseppe Giovinazzo, whose original winery was named
Sunland Vintage Company, sold in 1948. And the old-world labels
on todays wines are copies from his grandfathers original labels.
Sunland Vintage Winery produces the Giovinazzo brand for
Italian grapes grown in California, such as Barbera, Sangiovese and
Nebbiolo, providing a taste of old Italy in your own back yard. One
of Michaels favorites is Montepulciano, a distinctive yet approachable
wine that exhibits great versatility with food. They also produce the
