The Paso
Robles Wine Alliance has rolled out the details for this year's Harvest Wine Weekend. The weather has
been so dry and hot that some varieties of grapes are already being harvested
and the entire crop may be in before the October 17-19 event weekend. But that
doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate and participate what looks to be a great
vintage in both quality and quantity. Full details and a downloadable brochure
of the activities taking place and nearly 150 area wineries are available at
the PRWA website - www.pasowine.com.
I've mentioned the late September Sunset magazine's Savor the Central Coast (check it out at
savorcentralcoast.com) in former postings. But this just in , the entertainment for the Saturday the 27th evening in
Paso Robles, held at Vina Robles winery's Amphitheater is a home run. In
addition to wines to taste and some excellent food you surf daddies and Gidgit
girls can rock on to Beach Boy founders Brian Wilson and Al Jardine. Tickets
are available on line, starting at $70.
Also coming up in September (13-14th) for music lovers is
the annual Beaverstock gathering at
Castoro Cellars, the home of "dam fine wine". Proceeds aid in
benefitting the Templeton Education Foundation. If not familiar, the winery is
located close to Paso Robles (actually in
Templeton for you pickers of nit) on Hwy 46W at the Bethel Rd. intersection. A
total of ten bands (5 per day) will be playing and includes Los Lobos and Allen
Stone, there are lots of other things to do for the entire family. Kids under
10 are free and tickets are only $40 to $60 for adults. Details are found at
the PRWA site above or at www.castorocellars.com.
