I haven't done the wineries up that-a-way yet. I joined one in San Luis Obispo several years ago (Grey Wolf---love their reds) and then Clos la Chance this summer, which is just a few minutes away from home---dangerously close! My friend and I went, tasted about 10 wines, and not one made us make "the face". (You know the one where you look at your companions and want to try not telegraph to the somellier that this brew tastes like badly aged squirrel piddle?)
