What better way to spend the long holiday weekend than wine tasting in Paso Robles? Actually heading up on Sunday to go wine tasting Mon-Wed is better, this way you beat the crowds. Traffic on the 405 wasn't too bad heading out Sunday morning, however we figured why run the risk of getting stuck and headed up PCH. Plus, it's much more scenic drive.
We had a great day driving up the coast and stopped at one of my favorite wineries, Zaca Mesa zacamesa.com on the way to Paso. With Monday being a holiday, it was packed on Sunday. It's not nearly as much fun to do a tasting when it's so crowded. The staff is just so busy pouring they do not really have time to talk to you and share information about the wines. Despite the crowds, the wines of course were delicious and we got to meet Cheeseburger, commonly know as Cheese, a boxer/great Dane mix! He was a pretty cool dog.
We figured we could make one more stop before heading to the hotel, so we stopped at Fess Parker fessparker.com They also make some great wines, but their wines are little on the pricier side, so it's usually not the best place to try and buy and everyday red. However, they had quite the deal on one of their blends. Unfortunately it wasn't on the tasting menu so we bought a bottle to try and then wound up buying a whole case. The price was just too good to pass up.
