Austin Hope’s History-Making Cab!

/in , /by

Greetings Wine Linos!

We would just like to extend a hearty CONGRATULATIONS to Austin Hope for garnering the highest rating for any Paso Robles wine ever!  What a feat and our glasses are raised to you!

Read on for the Wine Enthusiast review quote and a statement from Austin Hope…

“Vintner Austin Hope, whose family is intertwined in the rise of Paso Robles, spent years working to release a wine of this caliber. Dark and thick in the glass, aromas of black currant and blueberry meet with roasted coffee, chocolate syrup and baked plum on the wondrous nose. The palate is soft and extremely expressive, with blueberry, black pepper, firm midpalate tannins and a finish that’s redolent of cappuccino candies.” —M.K.

From Austin Hope:

Wine Enthusiast has just released its March Advanced Buyer’s Guide, and as the first publication to taste the wine, I’m pleased to share that it received a 97-point rating from West Coast Editor Matt Kettman.  I’m humbled and incredibly grateful.

My family and I have long been champions of the Paso Robles region and its potential to make some of the best Cabernets in the world. With this score, Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon has become the highest-rated Paso Robles wine in the history of Wine Enthusiast.

Until the next drop.

New 5 Star Review on TripAdvisor!Friday’s Food & Music at Arroyo Robles!

After 17 years of helping wonderful people to “hop on” The Wine Line and experience the glory of Paso Robles wine country, and for several years, Santa Barbara,  it is with a complex mix of bittersweet emotions that I am announcing my departure. The reasons are various and personal, but I am infinitely gratified by all the years of operation and being entrusted by our valued customers to assist in creating forever memories for them, and even ourselves in the process!

As sad as I am to exit, I would love to empower some adventurous spirit (perhaps a couple?) to carry the mantle and continue the legacy. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in buying The Wine Line, please contact me. We have the aforementioned years of established business and goodwill, particularly in Paso, a solid repeat customer base (Wine Linos!), hundreds of 5 star reviews across the various platforms, a wonderful website, trademark, and two vehicles for a turn-key operation!

Whatever the case may be…I want to THANK YOU ALL for the years of business (some of you for your 22 times with us!). I cannot adequately express my gratitude, and the pride I feel for all we have done and experienced together!

Until our paths cross again, CHEERS!!
