We headed up to Paso Robles wine country about mid-day. We started at Trevor and Jen's favorite,
Daou Vineyards. Unbound, Eye of the Falcon, and Soul of the Lion, to name a few, including some great charcuterie munchies. Then on to
Hunt Cellars, a Nana and Papa favorite where Cabovation is king. Then a quick last winery stop at
Emercy Wines. As it happens, Emercy is related (somehow) to
Ladron Cellars in Englewood, CO (a suburb of Denver). Guess where Ladron sources its non-Colorado grapes!? Ladron means "thief" in that they "smuggle in" Paso grapes to Colorado. The grand finale for the day was a fabulous meal at
Six Test Kitchen. With just twelve seats, it's an intimate dining experience where everything is prepared right before your very eyes. Michelin-rated, too! Interestingly, the four of us went to Six Test Kitchen back when it was just getting started in the owner's garage; click
here. Emercy and Six Test Kitchen are in an area called
Tin City, which we had never heard of before tonight. It's just north of Templeton on the east side of the highway. All the day's photos start
here.
