    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.

The wine begins its fermentation as any other white; but prior to completion, the wine is bottled under crown cap to finish the fermentation in bottle. Distinctive aromas of honeysuckle, grapefruit pith, pear and peach are highlighted by notes of tropical hops. The aromatic intensity of Malvasia Bianca is complemented by the wine’s effervescence. The fine bubbles, produced by the ferment finished in bottle, creates a unique mouthfeel with the natural tannins from the grape. Malvasia Bianca Giuseppe Bocchino Cortese dell'Alto "Cadicarassa" 2018 Italy Retail: $14.95 | Sale: $13.45 Italy's Piedmont region is home to the Bocchino Winery which sustainably produces diverse wine styles. Crafted from the cortese grape, this dry white shares aromas of white blossom and lime. Flavours include apple and almond with a crisp, clean finish. Great with hors d'oeuvres, salads with goat cheese, pasta or white fish. 100% Cortese | Sustainable Bastgen Paulinshofberg Spätlese Riesling 2017 Germany Retail: $23.95 | Sale: $21.55 Founded in 1850, Weingut Bastgen is located on the tiny hamlet of Monzel, not far from Bernkastel-Keus.
