This was a lot of fun. The vlog hits a lot of my favorite places in Paso. Very well done, Vince!

[@VINCEWINE]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was pretty fun to make. I will definitely do this again, and try to get some more dedicated tasting footage. This time around was sort of on the fly that I decided to do this. And there is no shortage of great wineries in Paso Robles!

[@joanklaassen946]

What a great show on Paso wines! For anyone wanting to make a trip to Paso Robles it gives some great places to go!

[@VINCEWINE]

Thank you! And there are so many more great spots, I could do 10 more of these videos all in Paso Robles!

[@danamesarchik3633]

Vince great video. I have been to almost all the wineries on your video. Just got back from our trip to Paso and tried Kukkula after your recommendation. Incredible wines and we had a tasting with Kevin Jussila the owner. Keven is a wealth of knowledge and gave us an education on wine. I let him know that it was your recommendation to visit his winery. He said thanks and to let you know that he has had numerous guests let him know that they saw your video. Next time you are down there say hi to him. Enjoy your wine!

Booker is my Fav for sure I was so stoked that you got Ella the Dog in the Vlog

[@VINCEWINE]

LOVE ella. I had so much fun there. is there any place else like that in Paso that I should visit?

[@SocietyOfCollectors]

@@VINCEWINE Brecon usually is good is dog friendly and honestly West side is the best side in my opinion but Tin City has some extension sites like the Annex one that is a must is Emercy Wines great place and atmosphere and ask to taste from the Peugeot glass

[@sharonbennett3318]

I live in Paso my favorite season for wineries is Fall season when the vines turn golden red

[@gogreenmsu03]

Great video! I visit Paso almost every year. Tablas Creek has long been a favorite, but you definitely also hit some of my other favorites.

[@VINCEWINE]

2021 vintage is likely budding out there right now, I'll give it another month or two and then head right back out! Any other spots I should visit?

[@gogreenmsu03]

@@VINCEWINE I believe you had an Epoch Estate Blend in another video, but I’d put them on the list if you haven’t visited! Two visits in a row I really enjoyed Alta Colina, and want to get back to l’Aventure, TH, and Brian Benson. Next time I really want to give Gironata a try. Interested to see what Italian varieties are capable of, but haven’t been there yet.

[@susanmee8293]

On our way Vince a road trip. We just have done puddle jumping on the wineries. Now we have a traveled map guide of taste and sight. Thank you. Carlsbad off road will travel.

[@VINCEWINE]

Yay! How was it??

[@sharonbennett3318]

I love Booker

[@natehine8541]

my wife and I went in early Nov couple years ago .. was great time to go if you don't like crowds and don't want to feel rushed

[@VINCEWINE]

YES. Although just for the beauty of it, you gotta try it at least once in the summer when the vines are nice and full

[@TheJanieb]

That was such a great tour of Paso wineries! Feel like I was there! Thanks Vince.Wine!!

[@VINCEWINE]

Yay! Trust me, the pleasure was ALL mine, haha!

[@Aikuchi.]

You never did show what you got at Turleys

[@cgtheman3489]

I've been to most of these and they're great. Definitely check out Full Draw which is right next to Booker. Their wines are fantastic.

[@VINCEWINE]

Really? I did not see them. Ok, thank you for the suggestion I will definitely check them out. What do you like from there?

[@gmedina5678]

Great video V! Paso is my favorite wine region for sure. I prefer the "Westside". Man you hit some nice wineries. Been to many of them as well. Big fan of Booker / My Favorite Neighbor-Cabernet (got some in the cellar right now). You should give their Harvey & Harriet cab ($30 range) a try (also got some in the cellar). Very nice cab for the price. Fan of Tablas Creek too (their "Esprit de Tablas"). Not surprised about Dilecta being a "bust". Had some of their stuff before and it was ok. Really wanted to like the stuff. On my last trip to Paso decided to given them another try and visited their tasting room and man was I turned off right away. Did not enjoy their wines but worst of all was their people working their tasting room. They were not attentive, some what rude, and were rushing us. Can't wait to see what you have to say/show about Turley. Big fan of Turley and very nice tasting room. I too am a Zin or Zin Blend guy (oh yeah and Cab too). You should try/visit Thacher Winery, Linne Calodo, Minassian Young, Rotta Winery, L’Aventure, Austin Hope..to name a few. Saxum is my fav of all (pricey but killer stuff - however, no tasting room). Used to go to the Paso Harvest Festival for many years so I have visited many many wineries. Had a blast and stocked up on wines for the year! Hope you showcase more Paso wines or another Paso trip. Keep up the great work. Really enjoy your vids. Salud!

[@VINCEWINE]

Wowzers! Fellow Paso lover :) I would definitely have to say Paso Robles is my favorite region to taste in as well, it is so beautiful, so friendly, fun, and of course, they make some amazing wines! I did quite enjoy the H&H Cab from MFN, that was the only thing I could afford! lol. From your list, I know and like L'Aventure, but a little too pricey for me. I like Linne Calodo too, but only once the wines have had a chance to age, then they're phenomenal! And Rotta is great, especially their ports. Haven't been to the others, so thanks for the suggestions! Other favorites of mine include Lone Madrone, Hidden Oak, Whalebone, and Willow Creek Wine Co

[@josedejesusbanales2188]

Great video! I truly enjoyed it. Just a little request. What is the name of the place you stayed at?

[@ew803]

Enjoy this vlog... entertaining without being overly dramatic and distracting while also being highly engaging. Really makes me want to go and visit the wineries itself. It would be great if you included the list of wineries you visited in the description. Additionally, the vlog could be more descriptive, with respective as a sommelier would love to hear about notes you are picking up, what you most enjoyed about each wine tasted ... maybe also included in the vlog or description what you love about Paso Robles wines (in general.. also compared to say other Cali wines i.e. Napa Valley)

[@VINCEWINE]

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah this was my first vlog, and very impromptu, I did not originally plan on vlogging. I thought of few things I would want to do differently next time, but you hit some great points! For more detailed reviews, please check out my other videos as well, as a fellow Winoceros, I'm sure you'll enjoy them!

[@VINCEWINE]

Added the Winery list. Great advice!

[@ew803]

@@VINCEWINE would have NEVER guessed this was your first vlog. Nice job

[@MissLadyJnette]

Please visit Pear Valley on your next trip, you will be happy you did!

[@johnpeters3554]

Great video, really enjoyed your insight!!

[@VINCEWINE]

Aw thanks so much! Hope you enjoy your next visit out there :)

[@FurrariAussies]

Paso is the best. More videos!

[@Pasovineyard]

Good video

[@jayden7908]

Happy new year!!!

[@VINCEWINE]

Cheers! Let's drink safe, and drink VERY well this year :)

[@Marthasoprano]

Do all wineries charge a reservation fee ? Thanks

[@jazzijonj2310]

Very few in Paso do

[@kennethdias9988]

For Cabernet Austin Hope

[@isaiahanderson8053]

Can you review 1858 by Chuck Wagner?

[@VINCEWINE]

Excellent suggestion. Will do.

[@isaactuuri6488]

wine makes me poop funny

[@jonmacdonald5345]

That's exactly why the Kardashians drink it....

[@danf321]

Good reviews but wait…you start at McPrice Meyers and say you need wines that are not too expensive for everyday drinking. All the good wines up there are $20-$50/bottle. Where are cheap wines in Paso? The cheap everyday drinkers are the crap at TJ’s.

[@VINCEWINE]

Thanks for enjoying! Well, I suppose that was my way of saying that I equate their wine quality to be in the "table wine" category. Wow, is that super snooty or what?? haha. And for that quality, I found it to be overpriced . But you're absolutely correct, the best wines out there are in that price range, and there are so many that are more than worth it!

[@gazoo1990]

McPrice Myers is the bomb.
