Wineries of Paso Robles
California wine country Distance: 217 miles one-way Gary Eberle is the Johnny Syrah-seed of Paso Robles. In the mid-1970s, he planted the first commercial Syrah in the state, and you can still find it at Eberle Winery Vineyards, along with a T-shirt that says, "Up Shiraz." Time it right and Eberle will barbecue you duck sausage to go with one of his full-bodied reds. Both of which you can enjoy from the fabulous wrap-around deck above the vineyards. Jeff Pipes of Pipestone Vineyards was the kind of kid who grew up watching the Farm Report. Now he plants his organic vineyard according to the principles of feng shui and cultivates it using a pair of draft horses. At Pipestone, you're welcome to wander into the vineyard and check out the goats, or just settle in at a picnic table with some wine and soak up the chi. -- Janis Cooke Newman Read more: So many wineries, so little time Pictured: Some of the bottles on hand in the tasting room at Eberle Winery. |
