Introduction
17 of the wineries from the Paso Robles area stopped in San Antonio as part of the New World Wine and Food Festival for a Grand Tasting of their wines. Order below is in order tasted.
Flight 1 (18 Notes)
Closing
All of the wines we tasted were good quality. L'Aventure and Four Vines were the best of what we tried. We passed on all the whites and did not make to to 8 of the wineries. The price points for the quality of these wines make them very attractive.

Bigger wine than the Optimus. Wonderful taste with lots of fruit. Transition to the finish is seemless. Fantastic!
