This past weekend we revisted Adelaida Cellars. Their wines have recently had some great press. This is another winery that literally doesn’t make a weak wine. Stop in if you haven’t been there in a while.

Read their post regarding the Paso Robles Wine Area here: http://www.thedeliciouslife.com/paso-robles-cayucos-and-san-luis-obispo-unexpectedly-extraordinary-escape-to-the-central-coast/ We also checked out a couple wineries that we haven’t visited. Lone Madrone has some really nice wines. We also stopped at our all time favorite lunch place Farmstand 46. The boys had the irresistible “ goat” . I tried another of their amazing pizzas. WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! For years we had to drive to Templeton or Paso for lunch. Sorry McPhee’s ( we still love you) Farmstand 46 is just too convenient and amazing all at once. If you are out in the Templeton Gap area tasting do you really want to leave?
We ended our day at Booker. All their wines are beautifully crafted. Check out their recent ratings here at RobertParker.com.
Sadly their wines are so good that they are being forced to close their tasting room soon until they have some of their new vintages available.
In my next post I will explore an interesting design aesthetic that seems to be popping up all over the Central Coast Wine Country.
