Winecast: Paso Robles Wine

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Since there seems to be some confusion over this you can check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoXEYZyvmd-SrrM where Jason Haas of Tablas Creek says "RO-bullz" at 6:08, 7:29, 11:26 and elsewhere. I trust him. More seriously, though, it's both a generational and a local thing. Older locals tend to say "RO-Bullz" and younger locals and non-locals of all ages tend to say "ROBE-less." This phenomenon is part of a larger trend of re-hispanizing place names in California which, frankly, (and I'm speaking as a native Spanish speaker who grew up in California) I think is a bit affected and silly. When I'm speaking in English and telling people about my trip to the capital of France, I say that I went to "PARE-iss" not to "Pah-REE" and when I go back to So Cal to visit friends and relatives who are English speakers I ask them how things are going in "Loss-AHN-juh-less" and not "Lohs-AAHN-hell-ess" (though I do say the latter when speaking in Spanish). So, it's Paso Ro-bullz for me, though, ultimately, time and demographics will determine the received pronunciation.

Wow! I didn't expect the shout out. Thank you very much! Also, I really like the idea of tackling specific regions. Especially in places where there are many AVAs/PDOs close to each other. It's a great opportunity to learn about the regions and how they differ from each other within that proximity.

[@TyinAlaska]

I watched all of your videos a few years ago. Where have you gone? I hope you are well. We're fortunate to have your content. God bless.

[@WineScribble]

Fantastically informative! I love how thorough your casts are. Thank you so much for all your research!

[@calbear2418]

Fell in love with Paso after drinking Daou cab from Costco $20! Visited last Spring and tried LVX which was very fun. Plan to go again in February, any suggestions of wineries for white wines?

[@MaxsCognacReview]

Great cast! I love Paso wines

[@darsychane2588]

Thank you for what you are doing!

[@TheVarskvlavtbichuna]

I was looking for this type of wine channel long time, 🙏

[@MrPhilEffect]

Another great video. Please consider doing South Australia - awesome wine country.

[@DouglasdeMorais]

Thank you so much for all these amazing informations.

[@edwardblacklock2446]

Great video, very informative and interesting.

[@jozefkonrad5499]

Dear Unknown Winecaster, thanks you for all wonderful podcasts. I have learnt a lot, even about things I thought I know quite well. Is there a chance that you make a specjal video about: -Cava as a wine region -Portugal -Torunga Nacional It would be supercool to know your point of view on all of these. Thanks you

[@laurie3927]

I live in S.L.O, and I am so excited to see you doing a segment on Paso.!

[@den2929]

Thanks for another excellent cast. One of my favorite regions, producing some very good Cabs, Zins., and I have found some good Pinots. I love the climate, and the soil. Some of the smaller wineries in Paso and SLO are World Class according to my pallet. Thanks Again Sir.

[@vnannini1]

Thanks again for the information, as always its invaluable for those of us knee deep in studies. Turley and Halter are two more everyone should try. Turley grown and souses from Napa also, but the Paso offerings are outstanding.

[@dustinplatt1481]

Fabulous info!!! I have always lived Justin... I was curious if Santa Maria would be included in Pasi, since it is much closer to SLO, paso and Pismo Beach than to Santa Barbara, Buellton and Solvang. The geography is very curious, too.

[@charlesbrun5475]

Big Paso fan here! You should take a look at the offerings of Austin Hope/Treana, Brecon Estate, and Herman Story.

[@mozrocvii]

Charles Brun just stopped by Herman Story the other day. Picked up some Grenache from them.

[@bluecollarwineguy4447]

So much wine, so little time to try it all.

[@benjaminpapet4268]

L' Aventure Winery in the Willow Creek District is phenomenal (focuses on Bordeaux/Rhone blends)

[@Truecrimeandwinecouple]

Great video!

[@jamesiu1234567]

I don't remember which video it was but I tried Tablas Creek at your recommendation AND LOVED IT

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

So glad to hear. Their wines really are excellent. Cheers!

[@pilsplease7561]

Tablas creek is the best in paso, a lot of the other wineries are just average.

[@shakemoney4497]

Hey I've been listening for the last month. I appreciate all knowledge . It's help me WSET 2 any advice for level 3. Thank you for the great content. I follow you on IG as well

[@kumarsandrasegaran1514]

I have watched over 50 of your casts and al are excellent. Very much enjoyed them. I would be grateful for a more detailed study of Chile. Congratulations (belatedly) on your success with WSET 3. Would you consider doing more cats for Diploma level?

[@mcwine18]

Great vid as always! When I was first starting out.. I tasted a fair amount when I visited Paso Robles. There's something distinct about their wines but I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I often get the same note on both the nose and palate that seems to resonate across all Paso Robles wines. But I wonder if it's just me.. like it's almost as if they all use the same brand of barrels or something? Make the wines in similar technique? I really can't put my finger on it because I just don't know (so those guesses were just BS). So out of curiousity.. do you get that from the wines of Paso?

[@haydendawson1176]

Robles has one really big one conglomerate whose name goes pretty much unknown but if you are buying just about anything listed as Central Coast or Paso Robles through TJs, it comes from them. Therefore I can imagine a bit of sameiness since ya they are likely running through the same vats, casks and bottling lines.

[@pilsplease7561]

To a degree yes, but not central coast, Because that would apply to the smaller vineyards in other AVA's that are not that way. We have a lot of local mom and pop vineyards in the county.@@haydendawson1176

[@mcwine18]

@@haydendawson1176 Ah okay interesting.. thank you. That kind of explains it. When I was visiting there a lot of them are very similar tasting.. even a few months ago, purchased a wine from Costco and those few distinct notes. Thank you very much for sharing that information!

[@mozrocvii]

Parrish Family Vineyards has some good Cabs and a great Zin. Thatcher winery, has a killer GSM that you need to try.

[@pilsplease7561]

Bordering it you also have Arroyo Grande Valley AVA and Edna Valley AVA, which have the coolest and longest growing seasons out of any AVA's in the entire state.

[@widowerscorner]

Austin Hope/Treana is a VERY good winery here as well!!!!!

[@ThanawatWongsrisathaporn]

Thanks

[@terryhsiao1745]

being watching your videos for a while. You have any vivino account??

[@tombennett1893]

Napa but fruitier and half the price, and nice people

[@vishal00724]

Wait...6:45 ....you & your husband ???

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

Yep. It’s the 21st Century. Let’s get with the program.

[@danielleporter1829]

Robles in Paso.Robles is pronounced Rob-les

[@TheUnknownWinecaster]

You'd think that, wouldn't you, but everyone says it the way that I do. Cheers!

[@jeffhindman2052]

@Truthiracy3 :) I trust you since you live there ~ which one is correct ? "ROBE-lace"? or "ROW-bulls" ? thx

Miss your videos. Any more in the works?
