Wailing Winemaker’s Charity Karaoke Contest – 4/30

Greetings Wine Linos!

Are You Ready for Some…Karaoke?

Everybody knows that Winemaker Matt Ortman makes wine. Some people know that he’s an avid cyclist. But most would be surprised to know that he’s a secret karaoke enthusiast!

Well, now the secret is out, as Matt will be one of the featured “stars” of the inaugural “Wailing Winemakers” Charity Karaoke Event on April 30 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Pine Street Saloon in downtown Paso Robles.

The goal is to simply enjoy wine and have fun for a good cause. Proceeds from the event will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Southern California & Nevada Chapter.

So far, the participating wineries are Alta Colina, Arroyo Robles, Chronic Cellars and Ortman Family Wines. Representatives from each winery will take turns belting out familiar tunes, and attendees can vote for their favorite “performers.”

The cost to attend is $15 per person, and includes wine tasting provided by the participating wineries. Raffle items such as a Wine Line Tour for Two, gourmet olive oils and hotel stays will also be offered throughout the evening. The festivities will include dancing and a no-host bar.

Will Matt sing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” or Queen’s “We Are The Champions?” You’ll just have to come and find out. We hope to see you there.

Until the next drop.

The Wine Line

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!!
