    The Proof of Pinot is in the Drinking PinotFile Volume 6, Issue 37 The First Wine Newsletter Exclusively Devoted to Pinotphiles August 24, 2007 Inside this issue: When I’m Sixty-Four Kalin Cellars 6 Sixty-four is not a major age milestone, but I will take it anyway. Paul McCartney School House Vnyd 7 memorialized aging in his love song, “When I’m Sixty-Four,” written at the tender Tipsy Dog Pinot 8 age of 16. I gathered up a few wine cronies, most of whom are hovering around my Lost Canyon 9 same age, raided my cellar for some good Burgs and sat down on a Sunday after- noon to celebrate another year. The well-cellared wines turned out to be vinous Bien Nacido Redux 10 treasures resulting in a very memorable tasting. Here is the lineup with some Small Sips 12 commentary. All wines had appropriate fills and there were no corkage issues. Central Coast 13 1943 Bouchard Pere & Fils Volnay 11-14% alc.. You never open a bottle like this with high expectations, but it is nevertheless always a thrill when the wine is this old. The black cork came out cleanly. The wine was a surprise to all. The color was medium ruby with only a trace of orange tinge at the rim. There was still notable sweet red fruits on the palate with a little spice and fecundity. The wine was delicate with cashmere tannins. It was a brief, but memorable fling for the wine was spent an hour later. There were great diffi- culties to overcome to make wine in France during the war years.

    PINO: Price is no object PinotFile Volume 6, Issue 54 The First Wine Newsletter Exclusively Devoted to Pinotphiles March 3, 2008 Inside this issue: Santa Maria Valley In a quest to try to satisfy my pinotlust, I traveled recently to the Santa Maria Valley Ambullneo 7 and discovered a region that is quietly, but quickly, becoming a major destination Cottonwood Canyon 10 for wine enthusiasts. Located in the northernmost reaches of Santa Barbara Bianchi Winery 14 County, it is an appellation that has been overshadowed by its neighbors to the Kenneth Volk Vnyds 15 south, the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Rita Hills, whose popularity has been fueled by the post-Sideways Pinot craze. Part of Sideways was actually filmed on the Small Sips of Santa 16 Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in Santa Maria Valley but this has been largely unrecog- Maria Valley nized. To the north, the nearby Arroyo Grande Valley and Edna Valley in San Luis Obispo County have assumed more notoriety for cool-climate wine enthusiasts, in Pinot Briefs 18 part because of a more publicized and established wine growing history, and in Long & Winding 20 part due to the close proximity to the town of San Luis Obispo. Pinot Road, Part VI The Santa Maria Valley encompasses the cities of Santa Maria and Guadalupe and includes the unincorporated communities of Orcutt, Sisquoc and Tepusquet. The Valley is tucked between the Sierra Madre Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean coastline to the west. 25% of Santa Barbara County’s population resides here and Santa Maria recently eclipsed its more famous neighbor to the south, Santa Barbara, in population.

    Cabernet Sauvignon Thrives in J. Lohr's Paso Robles Vineyards On

    Cabernet sauvignon thrives in J. Lohr’s Paso Robles vineyards on the Estrella plateau on the east side of Highway 101. aso Robles may be America’s most dynamic wine region - and its most diverse. Splendid old-vine zinfandel, ageworthy and elegant cabernet Psauvignon, spicy yet supple pinot noir, and almost any white or red variety, from pinot grigio to petite syrah, are made here. World-class bottlings of viognier, roussanne, marsanne, syrah, grenache, and mourvèdre, either as beautifully inte- grated blends or as stand-alone varietals, proudly bear the Paso Robles name. Central to the region’s dynamism is an environment that is ideal for growing quality grapes and a core of talented producers, winemakers, and growers who have been attracted by the promise of Paso Robles. Discovering Paso Robles Although many wine lovers have discovered the charms of the area’s wines, it remains unknown to some and few would be able to place Paso Robles (“pass of the oaks” in Spanish) on a map of California. The town is located roughly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the Paso Robles American Viticultural Area (AVA), a heptagon- shaped area of more than 650,000 acres, covers much of northern San Luis Obispo County. Within this vast expanse are at least eight distinct subregions: the most important are the “Estrella Triangle” or plateau on the east side of Highway 101, the old- vine vineyards near Templeton established by Italian immigrants in the 1920s, and the Adelaida hills area near the western border of the AVA, west of the town of Paso Robles.
