Continued bottled under screwcaps. Wines bottled under the Bishop’s Peak label, said Talley, “deliver great values using winemaking techniques we’ve developed here with grapes that are less expensive.” While Talley Vineyards wines focus on the Arroyo Grande and Edna valleys, the Bishop’s Peak label reflects more of the Central Coast region, using grapes grown from Santa Barbara County to Monterey County. No matter what the label, Talley said the winery is focused on quality, from using sustainable farming practices, to the winemaking and the tasting room and including how employees are treated. Indeed, Brian Talley and his wife, Johnine, established in 2004 The Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers, an endowment providing grants to San Luis Obispo County organizations that assist agricultural workers with health care, housing and educational services. The program’s main fundraiser is the Mano Tinta (“red hand” in Spanish) project. Mano Tinta wines are made using grapes, materials and services that are all donated and 100 percent of the proceeds from their sales benefit the fund. As Talley says, “it’s all about quality.” Talley Vineyards is a little more than five miles from the historic Village of Arroyo Grande at 3031 Lopez Drive. The tasting room is open daily and current releases of both Talley Vineyards and Bishop’s Peak wines are part of the tasting menu. The tasting fee is $6.

Summer grilling triggers two types of wine in my mind.

If you only drink Merlot, for example, then that’s what you satisfy when served very chilled. You may not think of wine as should drink.

You know it by looking at it, you know as soon as walk up the path and in the door that this is a spot that simply belongs right where it is, doing exactly what it is doing. That, in a word or two, would describe the Cambria restaurant known fondly – and to many – as Robin’s Restaurant. Located in a charming and nicely weathered old home in this historic seaside town, they offer an eclectic menu that has pleased locals and visitors since they opened their doors in 1985. The interior (with its fireplace) and the spacious, multi- leveled heated deck surrounded by flowers and vines are a bit eclectic as well, and it all blends together to match the setting, just as from around the world.
