Celebrating Earth Day - April 22 - a bit early, many
wineries along the Central Coast are having special events over this
weekend. If you are thinking about a
little wine tasting check out these web sites for which and what is offered:
montereywines.org, pasowine.com, sbcountywines.com, slowine.com or
smvwines.com. One afternoon long major celebration, by way of example, is the Main
Event at Castoro Cellars (.com)
taking place on Saturday the 18th. Tickets, along with a discount code, as well
as details are on their site. It continues with a "recovery" yoga
session and brunch on Sunday.
The Paso
area is well known for Zin, Syrah and other Rhone varieties. But in the
background of world class reds, Cabernet Sauvignon gets less buzz. Over the
past few years a small but growing group of wineries (pasoroblescab.com) has
been trying to change that. Known as the Paso Robles Cab Collective, they are
hosting the first major event the organization has held. Called Cabs
of Distinction, it takes place May 1- 7. Friday through Sunday is
consumer focused, starting with a four course meal at Il Cortile Ristorante on Friday
evening, with wines from Cht. Margene and Le Cuvier. Saturday is the Grand Tasting offered by the twenty
six wineries in the Collective. On Sunday, fourteen of the wineries will
feature special tastings and other offers for Grand Tasting ticket holders.
Details and tickets are available at the web site above. For sommeliers and
others in the trade/media additional tastings, education and tours will take
place Tuesday through Thursday. If qualified go to info@pasoroblescab.com to
request a pass for those sessions.
A few other
upcoming things that might interest you include the following. Per usual, more
information and ticketing is through the web sites noted. April 29 - May 3 is
the annual Wine, Waves & Beyond a
beach themed combo of tastings, golf, surf movie, long board surfing, wine dinner,
music and car show. Something for everyone. FlavorofSLO.com is the
place to find what's happening Sunday, May 3rd in support of United Way. It
will be held at historic Jack House in San Luis Obispo where, on April 29th, an
event called Lambs On The Veranda is happening. Enjoy the property and
garden and learn the history of sheep ranching on the Central Coast. Call
805-781-7300 or go to slocity.org/parksandrecreation for reservations.
