The Castoro Experience
After 33 years in business, Castoro Cellars still strives to offer one of the most diverse wine
country experiences around. Its no secret they have been producing a wide variety of award
winning wines for decades but for them the experience doesnt stop at the bottle. From live music
and disc golf to yoga and brunch theyve got something for everyone.

In 2014 Castoro debuted the Whale Rock Disc Golf Course and Ranch Tour, a roaring success.
Played much like traditional golf, disc golf uses a disc in the place of ball and clubs. The intent of
the game is to throw a disc into an elevated metal basket instead of a hole as in traditional golf. The
setting of the course is truly stunning with a variety of old growth oak trees, vines and rolling hills.
One of the best things about disc golf is that its family friendly and if nothing else a great excuse to
get outside and enjoy Mother Nature. Located a short distance from our tasting room, its the
perfect way to break up the day and do something a little different.

Another wonderful experience that has grown in the past year is the monthly yoga and brunch
classes. These classes feature an hour long all-levels-yoga class followed by a delicious brunch and
our Methode Champenoise sparkling wine. Guests are able to enjoy early access to the property and
a serene setting for both yoga and the tasty experience that follows! In house Yogini, Lauren
Harvey, teaches all classes, and they strive to utilize the best local food they can find. Reserving a
spot in advance is strongly advised.

Their most diverse offering of the year is Beaverstock, a two day music and arts festival in the
vineyard that features talent from all over the country and activities for all ages. Attendees can
enjoy world-class music, art exhibitions, yoga classes, craft beer, delicious food and of course Dam
Fine Wine! Set amongst a grove of old growth oak trees you really couldnt ask for a better spot to
enjoy this family friendly festival. Beaverstock benefits the local Templeton School District and
takes place the third weekend in September every year so mark your calendars, tell your
friends and join us for an unforgettable time! The entire family is invited to come
experience Castoro Cellars, open daily 10am to 5:30pm.

Maddalena Wines Built on Love


It was love at first sight when Stefano Riboli saw Maddalena
Satragni driving a tractor on a farm in Chino, east of Los Angeles.
He instantly knew she could bring value to his family business,
San Antonio Winery. Soon after, in 1946, Stefano and Maddalena
were married, and Maddalena began leaving a lasting impression
on the Riboli familys legacy.
The Riboli family launched the Maddalena brand as a
celebration of Maddalena Ribolis vision and passion that have
helped shape the familys legacy. Today, at 94 years old, the
matriarch says she still loves being involved with the winery,
visiting with guests, and making them feel at home.
Who would have thought that a chance meeting would
evolve into a love that created not only a beautiful family, but
a wonderful winery as well? says Maddalena Riboli. For me,
wine has always brought friends and family together to enjoy
each others company, and I love being able to share that with
others.
Riboli Family Wine Estates invites you to celebrate your
family and toast to a lifetime of love. This year, Stefano and
Maddalena Riboli are toasting to more than 70 years of marriage

Michael Gill Cellars
Michael Gill Cellars is just the right place for those looking for a day of wine
tasting in a peaceful and beautiful setting. The winerys tasting room is located
on a vineyard in a French-inspired hunting lodge. You can sit at the bar in the
tasting room, on the patio overlooking the vineyard or have a picnic beneath
the centuries-old oaks on the property. You will find that any one of the venues
is a perfect complement to Michael Gills award-winning wines.

Featured in the Tasting Room


As a boutique winery, Michael Gill Cellars only produces about 1,000 cases

control and excellence. Some of the wines you will find in the tasting room
include the Viognier, Vermentino, Counoise, Tempranillo, Black Tie Syrah,
Zinfandel and Alicante Bouschet.
Two of the wines you will particularly want to try are the award-winning
2015 Counoise and the 2015 Vermentino. But dont forget to sample the rest of
the wines that have received top awards, including the 2014 Tempranillo and
the 2012 Black Tie Syrah.

Century of Excellence
An integral part of Californias wine history, San Antonio Winery began its legacy
in downtown Los Angeles in 1917, surviving the challenges of Prohibition, the Great
Depression and World War II. As one of the oldest producing wineries in California,
San Antonio Winery was built upon tradition, with four generations of the Riboli family
involved in the art of traditional winemaking.
Luck is always important! However, hard work and risk management are very
important as well, said Anthony Riboli. My grandmother always challenged business
decisions. She always felt that you have to take some risk.
To produce award-winning wines, the Riboli Family has established sustainable
vineyards in Californias most prestigious regions, including the El Pomar District and
Creston AVAs of Paso Robles, Rutherford AVA of Napa Valley, and the Santa Lucia
Highlands and Arroyo Seco AVAs of Monterey County.
Every year is different but we always strive to keep our wines consistent, said Riboli.
I love the whole winemaking process. Mother Nature does not make it easy thats the
SAN ANTONIO WINERY challenge but also where the passion is.

TALLEY VINEYARDS
The Arroyo Grande and Edna valleys are made of incredible landscapes of
impressive hills, sprawling farm land and winding country back roads. When
speaking of world-class wines, the region is most recognized for the highly
acclaimed estate vineyards of the Talley family. Talley Vineyards has been
producing luxury Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from these near perfect sites
since 1982 when Don Talley first planted a trial plot at what is now known as the
Rincon Vineyard. Once the trial was deemed a success, a real winery was built
in 1991, the estate vineyard plantings expanded and the Talleys embarked on
the journey which has culminated in an ongoing legacy of producing exemplary
Central Coast wines from the Arroyo Grande and Edna valleys.
The estate vineyards now include 190 acres split between six vineyards in
the area. Rincon, Rosemarys, Monte Sereno and Las Ventanas Vineyards are
all located within the Arroyo Grande AVA. In Edna Valley, Talley has Olivers
Vineyard, as well as Stone Corral Vineyard, which is a collaborative estate with

boasting chalky minerality from the calcareous soil.


Rosemarys presents the romantic stone fruit notes that
typically come from the vineyard. The Pinot Noirs were
equally impressive. Rincon embodies a richer and darker
fruit style, with soft tannin. The Rosemarys is surprisingly
spicy and balanced with lovely red fruit.
Talley Vineyards has two exciting extracurricular activities
on deck. The first is an annual philanthropic endeavor, in
its ninth year, called Mano Tinta. Mano Tinta wine is sold
through Talley Vineyards, and the entire package is donated
so that the profits from the sales benefit the Fund for
Vineyard and Farm Workers (created by Brian and Johnine
Talley). The foundation provides grants to workers families
through existing groups within the community. Each year,
Talley Vineyards hosts a competition for the label art in
which anyone can participate, by entering the competition
with their artwork or by contributing to the vote. Voting
begins March 26th in the Talley Vineyards Tasting Room and
will continue through the month of April. See page 24 for
more information.
In addition to the wonderful Mano Tinta project,
Brian Talley is set to release his cookbook, entitled
Our California Table: Celebrating the Seasons with the
Talley Family. Brian Talley tells the tale of his familys
farming history with 50 different recipes. The recipes
are organized seasonally, which is convenient for
subscribers to the Talley Farms Fresh Harvest Box (visit
talleyfarmsfreshharvest.com for more information). While
Brian admits that he is not a professionally trained chef,
the Talley name is synonymous with the finest ingredients
the Central Coast has to offer, and surely, they have
learned how to put the pieces together over the years!
Like the Mano Tinta project, the cookbook will also raise
money for the Fund for Vineyard and Farm Workers.

extracurricular activities, visit talleyvineyards.com or visit in

Mano Tinta Label Art Competition At Talley Vineyards


Talley Vineyards will be hosting their ninth annual Mano Tinta revolving artist label
competition. Mano Tinta charity wine is a community effort wherein all the grapes, packaging
and labor to make the wine is donated and the artwork for the label
is created by the local community. The vibrant and creative labels
from the past few vintages of the Mano Tinta wine have featured a
variety of colorful images, all symbolic of the vineyard worker and
their craft.
This competition is open to the general public and will be
on display for public viewing and voting in the Talley Vineyards
tasting room. Public voting will begin on Sunday, March 26 and continue through the month of April.
Local artists of all ages and levels of experience are encouraged to submit their artwork to the Talley
Vineyards tasting room anytime through Friday, March 17, 2017. Submissions must
be accompanied by a completed entry form and should be original and meaningful.
The winner will be announced within the first week of May and will have their
artwork showcased on the 2015 Mano Tinta label and website. Entry forms and
specific guidelines can be found on the Talley Vineyards website or by contacting
lindsey@talleyvineyards.com.
The profits raised from the sales of this wine are donated to the Fund for
Vineyard and Farm Workers; an endowment created by Brian and Johnine Talley
that benefits organizations utilized by the vineyard and farm workers of all San Luis
Obispo County. For additional information about the competition or The Fund for
Vineyard and Farm Workers, call (805) 489-0446 or visit www.talleyvineyards.com.

Wine Tasting in San Luis Obispo County

Its no wonder the people here call


it SLO. No one is in any hurry in
the cafes or on the sidewalks, and
certainly no one is in any rush to leave.
Strangers are genuinely friendly, always
ready to talk about their favorite hiking
trail or barbecue joint, or to point the
way to the winery with the best Pinot
Noir. Its all part of the SLO life, that
combination of good stuff that makes
visiting here so nourishing to the soul.
San Luis Obispos unusual natural
beauty, along with its gentle climate,
first attracted the Spanish padres to the
area in the 1700s. In 1772 they built
the fifth of Californias 21 missions
here, on the banks of San Luis Creek,
and named it Mission San Luis Obispo
de Tolosa. Today, many consider this
the most beautiful of the Spanish
missions.
More than 200 wineries produce
critically acclaimed vintages in Paso
Robles, Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande
Valley. Visitors can head out along the
gorgeous country roads to sip their way
through the vineyards.

Obispo County, go to visitslo.com or

BY CHARLES NEAVE
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 For the most part, going wine
tasting is about the easiest thing in
8 8 8
the world, especially in California
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 where wineries and tasting rooms
abound. Mostly, wine tasting is a
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 matter of doing a little research and
planning your day. Here are some
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
tips that have proven to be helpful
8 8 8 and are designed to help make the
sensory adventure of wine tasting
8 8 8 all the more enjoyable.
Before you start off, pack a few
8 8 8 8 8 8
essentials. Water (plenty of
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 water) and something to snack
oncrackers or a baguette.
8 8 8 8 8 8 Many wineries have picnic areas
and there are plenty of delis and
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
bakeries that can make up a lunch
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 for you, or make your own.
Be sure to nibble during the day and
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 make time for lunch. Two tips: drink
at least twice as much water as
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
you do wine, and remember that
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 you dont have to drink everything
poured into your glass.
8 8 8 Dont be afraid to ask questions.
Time again I have heard
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
knowledgeable winery workers
8 8 8 8 8 say that there is no such thing as
a stupid question, and they mean
8 8 8 that.
You can drink what you want, in the
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
order you want. If you like reds, say
8 8 8 8 so; if you dont like sweet wines,
speak up. But the idea of starting
8 8 8 8 8 with whites, then going on to reds
and then sweet wines is a good
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
guide.
8 8 If there is a particular wine you want
to try and it is not on the list, ask. Most
8 8 8 8 8 tasting rooms are happy to pour a
little if you show enthusiasm.
8 8 8 8 8 8
Look for tasting rooms in towns.
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 Many of these are cooperative
tasting rooms, where in one place
8 8 8 8 8 8 you might find wines from a
dozen or more small-to-medium
8 8 8 8 8 8 8
premium producers.

Importance of Proper Wine Storage
Taking Care of Your Wine
Weve all heard certain wines must be aged to arrive at their
peak quality. To ensure the aging process goes as intended there
are several variables to take into account. Although the importance
of proper storage is common knowledge few know the details and
adhere to them.
The quick answer for proper storage is to maintain the
following conditions:
1. The ideal temperature is around 55 degrees.
2. Maintain a consistent temperature, avoid fluctuations.
3. Humidity should be high, around 70%.
4. Expose your wine to infrequent and indirect lighting.
5. Keep the cork in contact with the wine, lay your bottles down.
Aging wine is both a science and an art. It is a science because
chemistry is the foundation that drives the process. These BEFORE AND AFTER
reactions are predictable, illustrating why proper storage and
conditions are vital. It is an art because the composition is so Then the real fun starts, the aesthetics. Wine cellars are such a

others would be far more content with the primary flavors!
Winemakers put so much passion and time into creating an
intentional wine. We feel it is important to honor their work and
enjoy the wine the way they intended for it to be enjoyed.
Collectors and enthusiast have more serious storage needs.
Many fine wines will improve with age and will reach their full
potential after years in the bottle. This is why proper storage
is critical. Specific tastes develop at different times during the
maturing period of wine. It is fun and even exciting to note and

Sinor-LaVallee: A Story of Terroir


Sinor-LaVallee, founded in 1997 by Mike Sinor and Cheri
LaVallee-Sinor, is a chapter in an adventure which began when they
met while attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. What started out
as college jobs at local wineries, soon became their passion as they
became more immersed in the craft of winemaking and studying
the art of Pinot Noir. This led to travels abroad, where the couple
not only married in France, but continued their appreciation of the natural intensity that is a true expression of the location. Sinor

Wine Tasting in Santa Barbara County

A Spirit and Passion for Winemaking


O n the southern end of the Central Coast appellation, lies Santa Barbara Countys historic
wine growing region. The first vineyard production in these rolling coastal hills dates back to
1782, when Junipero Serra planted vines on Mission land. About a hundred years later, there
was 260 acres of luscious vineyards and seventeen winemakers in Santa Barbara County. Sadly,
the Prohibition Era destroyed many of these historic vineyard sites and mostly put an end to
winemaking in the regionas was the case in many of the beautiful winegrowing regions across
the state. With that being said, the spirit and passion for winemaking never left Santa Barbara
County, and this wine growing region is alive and well today. Talented winemakers are producing
outstanding and pure terroir driven wines from the five American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), planted
mostly to Burgundian, Rhne and Bordeaux grape varieties.
Although the movie Sideways is said to have put San Barbara Countys wine growing region on
the map in 2004, especially the Santa Maria Valley AVA, it is the high quality of the wine across
the county that has continued to uphold this bountiful regions reputation. Sprawling vineyards
and gently rolling hills create a picturesque scene for visitors and locals alike, who visit the many
wineries, tasting rooms and wine bars in the area. In the five AVAs, wine tasters will find a nice
range of wine styles amongst the Burgundian, Rhone and Bordeaux varietals that are produced.
In the more northern region, cool climate Burgundian varietals reign, such as Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay, due to the maritime influence. This ensures a long temperate growing season which
the Burgundian varietals crave. With ample amount of sunlight, the grapes ripen very slowly
perfect for producing terroir driven wines with pure varietal characteristics. In the southern region,
there is more of a diurnal shift with warmer nights and cooler days. This area sees less fog and has
different soil types than what is found closer to the coast. The Bordeaux and Rhine varieties flourish
in this warmer climate and the sandy soils with limestone and chalk impart a wonderfully desirable
minerality in the wines.

8 8 8 8 pay a tasting fee between $10-
$40. Some tasting bars will offer
8 8 8 you the option to taste a library
or reserve wine. Exercising this
option increases the fee, but will
8 8 8 8 8 allow you to taste very unique,
old or rare wines.
8 8 8 8 8
Sit Down Tasting
A Sit Down Tasting usually
8 8 8
requires an appointment, and
there may be a slightly higher
8 8 8 8 fee than a wine bar fee. Seated in

8 8 8 8 several wines by your winery

8 Walk Around Tasting
A Walk Around Tasting is
8 8 a combination of a tour and a
tasting. Your host brings along
several bottles of wine on your
8 8 8 8 tour, and may take you to a
garden area of the winery to pour
8 8 8 the first round. Then you move to

8 8 8 8 8 8 8 to sample the next wine. This

Barrel Tasting
8 8 8 Another popular tasting

Why make an appointment?
8 8 8 8 8
Some wineries are so small
that they need to know when you
8 8 are coming so someone will be
there to greet you. Others have
8 8 8 8 sit-down tastings that start and
end at specific times. Its always
a good idea to schedule your

Firestone Vineyard
A Historical Site
Founded in 1972, Firestone was the first major estate winery
established in this pastoral Central Coast AVA. Over the past 40
years it has evolved into one of the regions most popular and
successful producers thanks to a portfolio of wines that offer
serious quality at reasonable prices.
Estate Vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley
Although not a household name, the Santa Ynez Valley actually
has the greatest concentration of wineries in Santa Barbara County.
Prior to Prohibition, the valley had roughly 5,000 acres under
vine. It took until nearly four decades after repeal for commercial
viticulture to reestablish itself. Santa Ynez Valley was granted AVA in all of the wines.
(American Viticultural Area) status in 1983 and today boasts more The combination of a long growing season and low-nutrient
than 7,500 acres devoted to vines. soils allows the estate to cultivate an astonishing range of wines.
The Local Terroir Firestones reds include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec,
The viticultural highlight of Firestone is its 340 acres of estate Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Pinot Noir from the
vineyards set along a series of mesas composed of sandy loam with Sta. Rita Hills. The whites consist of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc,
rocky sub-soils. These well-draining soils minimize vine vigor, Riesling and Gewrztraminer.

Santa Barbara Wine Country Cycling Tours


Ride Like the Wind
Santa Barbara Wine Country Cycling Tours offer single day and
multi-day trips available for people of all skill levels, and though
cycling can seen daunting, its certainly not. Dont think Tour de
France, rather think gentle cycling and killer views all at your
own pace. Tour distances and difficulty can be modified to fit the
abilities of our guests, says owner Corey Evans. Therefore, youre
not locked into anything you dont want to do. This means a novice
can enjoy a gradual ride at a satisfying pace, and a hard-core cyclist
can get the burn they crave while getting the wine they want. The
Santa Ynez Valley is known for its gentle rolling hills of vineyards,
long stretches of road winding through farmland, and tucked away
canyons and vistas providing the perfect atmosphere for a ride.

Pedal to the Metal


All wine country daily bike tours begin in Solvang and include
a gourmet picnic lunch consisting of an artisanal cheese plate with
locally sourced, seasonal, heirloom organic salad and fresh fruit
served in a picturesque vineyard, a bike and a helmet for your
protection. Tours include a professional tour guide, commemorative
water bottle and SAG vehicle support. For more advanced riders
and serious wine and bike enthusiasts, Santa Barbara Wine Country

from the speed of your car but to examine, up close, the beauty of
the surroundings that you cant see as you drive past. If you prefer
to rent a bike on your own without a preplanned path, both hybrid,
