St Helena AVA Tasting @ Flora Springs 5/30/09

Vineyard Vlog went to this event on a last minute tip and had no idea what to expect.   This tasting event was great.  There were 30+ wineries and vineyards presenting new release and current wine offerings.  The stipulation for what wine could be served at this event , is that all wine being poured had […]

JanKris Vineyards, Paso Robles, Central Coast
May 31 , 2009

JanKris has had a second coming and under it’s new management, know that they are not making small plans.   Although they have a nice tasting room as is – I believe there are plans for some changes in the coming years.  Their wines are right on par and their hill-top location make for a worthwhile […]

Brian Benson Cellars, Paso Robles, Central Coast
May 31 , 2009

(2 Videos Below) I was encouraged to go to Brian Benson Cellars, and had no idea what to expect.    It was everything I did not expect, from a well-recommended winery – and that is a compliment.  I loved Brian Benson Cellars for a few reasons: First off there was not a micron or pretension in […]

Peachy Canyon has been a winery that I always manage to bump into, and I always look forward to it .   As you will see in the video, they are not shy to bottle different things – and what is important to know is that they do have some large production and distribution – […]

I was told by 2 people to go to Booker Vineyards.  I recalled hearing about them somewhere else as well…So I figured we should all go, and I am very glad I did.  Aside from a beautiful location, nicely designed tasting room – their wines are great.  They have been open for just a few […]
