/in , /by

Greeting Wine Linos!

Are you in for something outside the box…or outside the tasting room, more precisely?!?  The wonderful people at Red Soles’ are offering you to join them on a “walkabout” to see what winemaking is all about, in the vineyard and eventually out of the bottle.  Read on for details and RSVP info…

 

Red Soles Owner, Randy Phillips, will lead our group on a pleasant walking tour of Miracles Ranch, right from the Red Soles Barrel Room. Learn the nuances of this hundred-acre property while out amongst the vines. He’ll explain some of the Red Soles sustainable growing philosophy as we trek from tasting station to tasting station in the vineyard.

The afternoon will be rounded out with a bit of comparative barrel tasting of some up and coming Red Soles vintages.Taste the same wine out of different barrels to experience the difference that oak makes.

 

 

Upon our return, we’ll enjoy a tasty lunch by Crush Catering in the Barrel Room.

Buffet Style Lunch includes:

  • Pane Toscano with local Kiler Ridge olive oil.
  • Organic Field Green Salad with heirloom cherry tomatoes, basil vinaigrette, spiced pepitas, feta cheese, shaved cucumbers, quinoa.
  • Grilled Summer Vegetables with aged balsamic and evoo. Smoked Pork Sausage and Shrimp Farro Paella with local vegetables, syrah sofrito, purple flowering kale.
  • Dark Chocolate Brownies with sea salt, port sap.

Doce Robles’ Rising Moon Sunset Series!Calcareous Wants You to Watch Paint Dry in July! – Sun. 7/15/18

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!!
