I am out in California for the Wine Bloggers Conference and currently on the pre-conference excursion to Paso Robles. Yesterday, we started at Niner Wine Estates, then headed to Tablas Creek, and finished with dinner at beautiful Daou Vineyards. I would love to tell you about the wines we tasted, but there were so many, taking notes quickly became futile. So instead, here are a few photos:

Tablas Creek is all about the vines.

Our last tasting of the day.
This is my first trip to Paso and I will certainly be back.

There is actually a wine bloggers conference? Really? I need to come up with a conference in a really great location for bloggers who just ramble on and on…like myself.

We alternate vacations between Paso and Napa/Sonoma. Chateau Margene is our favorite in Paso Robles but I could name so many we like. It’s a much more laid back atmosphere there.

Everyone there was so great–it really does remind me of Sonoma in a lot of ways.

Thank you for sharing. Wish I was there. I am heading to Columbus for Freshman orientation in a couple of days. You should be taking my daughter to Columbus and I should be in SBC! Keep the pictures coming and please have a glass of a fabulous SBC pinot for me. Enjoy and cheers!

Love Paso! It’s a toss up between Paso and and Sonoma for my fave wine regions so far for me…TCV is a favorite of course, but there are so many wineries there now. We’ve traveled to Paso annually for the last 4 years (although this year isn’t looking good:-(
Enjoy WBC…I’ve got try to make it next year!
