Congratulations to Diane Larzelere for winning two tickets to the Paso Robles Wine Country Grand Tasting on April 20th! Here is the participating winery she is most excited to see:
“Without a doubt – L’Aventure. My husband and I met the winemaker, Stephan Asseo, before the winery had a tasting room. He was firing his own barrels and more than happy to talk about the vision he had for his wines. From my point of view, he and his winery have crafted wines that may have surpassed even his own aspiring dreams.”

Congratulations to Patty Blomberg for winning two tickets to The El Dorado Winery Association’s 19th Annual Passport Weekend! Patty’s favorite warm-weather food and wine pairing entry was:
“Best warm weather pairing – no doubt – apples & pears from Apple Hill , 2005 Signature Zin from ParaVi, choice of cheese to pair with fruit, fresh baked rustic bread from area bakeries and a best friend to enjoy the beauty of the area, the food and of course the wine. This is paradise close to our home base in Sacramento.”
