Moving to Wine Country
After a long and grueling day of unpacking boxes after boxes of plates, pictures, cooking utensils and wine glasses, Devon and Tina were completely exhausted and dreaming of some good grub and adult beverages. They both loved wine, but they were looking for something a little stronger. Whiskey perhaps? After falling in love with bright green, San Luis Obispo Coast wine country, they thought it was finally time to escape the house and cruise the town to see what their new home Arroyo Grande, CA had to offer. They just moved there two weeks ago after visiting San Luis Obispo County for work a month earlier. Devon found a job opportunity in the wine industry that lead him to wine country. Not something he was expecting, but he intuitively accepted…
Paso Wine Plunge
There once was a skilled winemaker from Santa Cruz that moved to Paso Robles to start a new wine brand. His name was Ben and he was an assistant winemaker at Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains and used to visit Paso staying with his friend Bender who made wine barrels. He thought he could make it work in the Pass of the Oaks because he loved the wine, soils, culture and the opportunity to be around world-class winemakers everyday. It would allow him to learn from the best and take advantage of Paso’s legitimate success in the wine world. He made wine on the side while at Ridge but did not market and sell to consumers, just shared and drank with his friends and family. It would be his first Paso vintage where he was promoting his brand Electros named after the music genre of electronic music with early hip-hop influence that used drum machines, synthesizers and funk music to create a unique sound in the late 70s and early 80s. To start, he bought fruit from the Adelaida District and Templeton Gap and was happy to get a chance to buy a few tons from each vineyard site. He made a bunch of money from a remote tech job he had in the past while living in Santa Cruz which allowed him to make wine and put everything on the line moving to Paso with only one friend living there. People thought he was crazy, which he was, but he was confident in making it happen, so after a lot of extensive research on the region’s terroir, he decided to sell most of his belongings and take the Paso wine plunge…
Pismo Problems
Here is a story about a very dysfunctional and well-known family that has lived in Pismo Beach, CA from the late 1800s up until present day. It was generations of kids and adults that grew with the community. They appeared perfect on the outside, but the turmoil was unbearable from the inside. There was constant fighting over properties, family wealth, family heirlooms and community status, it seemed to be never-ending. However, there was one thing that brought the large family together. The Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove…
Bay to the Beach
After a memorable night of fine wine and a variety of cheeses, Stacey and Craig tiredly woke up to a cool breeze, some freshly ground coffee, mimosas and bloody marys. All while overlooking the Pacific Ocean. When breakfast was served they ate gourmet omeletts and relaxed, talking the San Clemente pier and lifestyle. After breakfast, Stacey was fired up and ready to hit the outlets. This is also where you hop on the San Clemente Trolley which takes you through downtown and down to the pier. The two were ready for an adventure. After some shopping and a pleasurable ride down to the water, Stacey and Craig hopped off the Trolley and set their eyes on the restaurant near the pier entrance. The heat was warm and it appeared to be busy. A fun busy. Craig suggested oysters, so Fisherman’s they went…
