connoisseurs who are considered in-theknow and their like counterparts, wineries
that are steeped in legacy and tradition. In the
other there are a multitude of people who
enjoy wine, but their life doesn’t revolve
around it, and winery upstarts, of which
many in Paso Robles could be considered.
The ironic thing is that these upstarts or startups often have a strikingly similar story at
their root, a man falls in love with wine and
ends up chucking it all like Gauguin to follow
his dreams.
In reality these Gauguins straddle both
camps. They may not consider themselves
connoisseurs but they did envision their life
revolving around wine. At the same time,
legacy and tradition are not a part of their
stock so everything from the labels on the
bottle, to the type of wines they make are in
many ways unbound. This in and of itself
does not guarantee good or bad wines, but in
our opinion it does capture a key high-level
difference between old and new world wines.
If you think about wine as the expression of a
8
culture it also speaks to differences in ethos.
Does this imply that winemakers must
embrace a single philosophy of winemaking?
Surely, there are valuable insights and techniques that can be leveraged from both
schools of thought. Vihuela Winery came to
fruition on the just that principal. The belief
that old world style should be shepherded by
new world techniques and thus the story
begins…
Several years ago Matt and his wife would
travel to the Central Coast to enjoy the rolling
hills, the laid-back attitude and of course, the
wines. Through the years Matt developed a
greater thirst for the Central Coast and it’s
wines than any weekend trip could quench.
The logical solution was to enroll in Fresno
State’s Enology program and before long he
had graduated and was working for the likes
of Geyser Peak and Rudd in Napa Valley.
After several years of saving and searching for
just the right location to plant a vineyard, a
property was located in Templeton, California.
Enter Mike, aka Mike Vihuela. Rumor has
it that that Mike was raised on a small olive
farm off the coast of Spain and at a very early
age became enamored with flamenco guitar,
practicing for hours on end. “Something
about the Spanish guitar stirs the passions
much as a spicy Tempranillo or a complex
Cabernet Sauvignon.” This romantic notion
about wine and song is consistent with the
name Vihuela as it refers to a Spanish Renaissance guitar. It also explains the style of Mike
Vihuela’s wines, which are known for being
tall, dark and tasty.
It was this harmonious balance of Matt’s
science and Mike Vihuela’s artistic hand that
brought Vihuela Winery to life. We currently
focus on Bordeaux style wines and plan on
releasing our inaugural Spanish wine in late
2008. Our new tasting room is now open at
1307 Park Street in downtown Paso Robles,
behind Keller Williams. Enjoy our wine and
something from our gourmet pantry while
you relax in our Tuscan style courtyard. Come
by on Saturdays and you’re sure to catch one
of the many live concerts. Jazz is always a nice
paring with Vihuela’s wines as is Spanish
guitar. Vihuela, it’s music to your mouth!
Viheual Winery is located at 1307 Park
Street in Paso Robles and is open Sunday and
Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and
Thursday through Saturday until 8 p.m. For

WINE COUNTRY NEWS WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

BERLE WINERY
Tasting and Learning….and eating!
by Mark Storer
G
ary Eberle is on yet another mission.
The Godfather of Paso Robles wineries
is still interested in selling wine, of
course – but he’s also interested in wine
education. “What happened to taking a tour
of the winery?” he asks plaintively. In Paso
Robles particularly, where so many of the
tasting rooms are on the same premises as
the beautiful wineries they inhabit, Eberle
doesn’t understand why more winemakers
don’t offer, or encourage tours.
“When you come to Eberle, you don’t
have to take a tour. But you do have to have
a doctor’s note,” he jokes. Like so many winemakers and wine aficionados, Eberle believes
in learning about wine as well as the
consumption of it. “It’s a great way to get your
brand name talked about and ultimately to
sell wine.” Of course, Eberle Winery’s tours
include the impressive caves that were dug
beneath the facility to house and store all the
varietals. The tour is as close to an amusement park ride for wine as you’ll get.
Quite apart from Eberle’s joking, his status
10
Gary Eberle
as a founding winemaker in Paso Robles is
legendary. When he left UC Davis, he came
to Paso Robles to work with Estrella River
Winery in what was being touted as the “next
great red wine region.” Eberle Winery has
proven that adage time and again with its
consistent dedication to great Bordeaux and
Rhône varietals grown in Paso Robles.
Eberle’s tasting room is also cut from a
different cloth. A warm and inviting atmosphere with a large and beautiful oak bar, its
entrance is not just to the tasting room, but to
the winery itself. There are always plenty of
knowledgeable staff on hand to pour you a
taste and, in a complete change of pace
compared to most wineries, Eberle never
charges for a tasting. Eberle himself used to
say, “we’ll eat a bug to sell you a case of wine.”
The highlight of any tasting at Eberle
Winery, though, is when Gary Eberle sets up
the barbecue and cooks his famous tri-tips,
ribs and sausages. Once again, it’s all free and
you can stroll the grounds, take a tour, have
lunch and taste the wine, all for the cost of
driving up to the winery. “I love doing it and
it’s a great way to meet customers and spend
some time with them,” says Eberle.
Eberle Winery is located at 3810 Highway
46 East and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. For more information, call (805) 2389607 or go to www.eberlewinery.com.

Reservations Available for Paso Robles
Rhone Rangers Experience, Feb. 17
Reservations are now available to join the 20+
members of the Rhone Rangers’ Paso Robles
Chapter for a day in Paso Robles Wine Country,
Sunday, February 17 at Robert Hall Winery. Join
some of America’s leading producers of Rhone varietals as they explore what makes Paso Robles so
ideal for this extended grape family.
“This is an opportunity for enthusiasts to interact
directly with the winemakers to learn more about
Rhone wines,” said Jason Haas of Tablas Creek
Winery. “We will be discussing the various Rhone
varietals being produced in Paso Robles, what
makes this area ideally suited to these wines, and
where we, as winemakers, are going next.”
The fun and information-rich day will include a
“Rhone Essentials” Seminar, Vintners’ Lunch and
Walk-around Tasting of more than 150 Rhone
wines produced in Paso Robles.
The “Rhone Essentials” Seminar offers the
opportunity to taste examples of the most important single-varietal Rhone wines, including Viognier, Roussanne, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre,
as well as an exploration of Rhone blends. At each
stage, participants will hear from the winemakers
and principals who have chosen the Rhone Ranger
route and helped give Paso Robles its new identity
as the “Rhone Zone.”
Directly following, seminar participants can join

What type of Rhone grapes are these?

informal Vintners’ Lunch prepared by Executive

extended opportunity to interact and explore the
range of Rhones produced in Paso Robles.
At the Walk-around Tasting, guests can taste
Rhone wines from more than 20 Paso Robles Rhone
Ranger wineries, including top single Rhone varietals and the best in Rhone blends. For a complete

The day’s events will take place at Robert Hall
Winery, just east of Paso Robles on Highway 46.

Tasting can accommodate up to 250 attendees. You

Preferred Tasting Room:
KSimple
ENNETH VOLK
and Artful, Like the Wines
by Mark Storer
K
en Volk’s wines are a passion. They are
certainly that for him, and they tend to
be for his regular customers, too. He
puts a great deal of passion into making them
and the result is unique, fruit-forward wines
with extraordinary flavors that really show off
their varietal and the vineyard in which they
were grown.
It is no real surprise, then, that the
Kenneth Volk Vineyards’ tasting room is, as
its wines, tasteful, simple and situated in a
unique place, Tepusquet Canyon in Santa
Maria. The floors, the bar, the walls – all
wood, are sparsely decorated with images of
the Santa Maria bench growing area and a
north facing set of windows that reveal the
undulating topography of the land. A creek
rolls right below the tasting room and winemaking facility and a recent expansion allows
customers to sit on the patio relaxing with a
taste of these beautiful wines.
Ken Volk himself can occasionally be seen
in the tasting room pouring and talking about
his wines. As proprietor and founder, his
reputation is as unique as his wines. Volk’s
14
far-reaching influence has earned the accolades constantly paid to him by several generations of winemakers now working on the
Central Coast. As a winemaker, Volk’s passion
has always been the vineyard itself and his
background in fruit science and the desire to
grow better, more tasteful, less synthesized
fruit is what has driven him. It’s probably the
thing that led him here for this area has some
of the great vineyards from which he has
always purchased grapes.
Volk’s dedication has spilled over to this
facility, too. Once the headquarters for the old
Byron winery (the new Byron is next door),
he rebuilt and refitted nearly the entire
winery. He even brought in new presses and
new crusher-destemmers that would help
him produce the wines he has become
known for. Volk bought the winery and vineyard in 2004 from the Robert Mondavi
Corporation and immediately began to
customize it to his specifications.
Kenneth Volk’s reputation has found its
full reflection here on the Tepusquet Creek.
Known all over California as a founder of
Central Coast wines, it was his Wild Horse
Winery and Vineyards in Paso Robles that
produced not only a long-lasting reputation
for him, but also a veritable training ground
for Central Coast winemakers. Kenneth Volk
Vineyards, then, is a realization and the ultimate fruition for a man who is as passionate
about fruit as he is about the wine he makes
from it.
Kenneth Volk Vineyards Tasting Room is
located at 5230 Tepusquet Road in Santa
Maria, open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.. For more information, call (805) 9387896 or go to www.volkwines.com.

“I have never tasted this many wines in one sitting that I have
enjoyed so much” is a refrain that the staff at Orchid Hill Vineyard’s
tasting room hears on a daily basis. With so many good wines available on the Central Coast this is the ultimate compliment for us.
Pairing wine with fine cheeses is part of the memorable tasting
experience that transforms a visit to Orchid Hill’s handsome tasting
room in downtown Paso Robles into a sensory experience that goes
beyond simply sampling wine. The wine and cheese pairings –
featured Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays – are part of what we call a
“full-service” tasting room.
This year we will also be offering private cheese and wine parings
in our “Orchid Room” available for up to six people to reserve. The
“Orchid Room” is a glass-enclosed room at the rear, filled with exotic
orchids grown and tended by Estrella Schenkhuizen, whose husband
Mike owns the winery. The room is also available for rent for private
business meetings. The tasting room as well is available for larger
parties for birthdays, receptions, girls’ night out, bachelor/bachelorette
parties – we have even had a demonstration for skin care done in the
tasting room after hours that was so fun!
Vibrant, textured paintings of world-renowned artist Jean-Pierre de
Rothschild grace the walls of the tasting room and are available for sale.
Jean-Pierre will be appearing several times in person during 2008. His
first appearance is Friday, February 8 and Saturday, February 9, just in
time for a Valentine’s Day

someone. Jean-Pierre will

Attention to Details Shows in Penman Springs Wines
The Paso Robles area is being called the most exciting wine region
in California today and people like Carl and Beth McCasland are part
of the reason why. Their winery, on top of a hill overlooking a stunning “sea” of vineyards, is called Penman Springs and their vision for
the land east of Highway 46 has helped draw attention from around
the world to the amazing wines of Paso Robles. Like their fellow
boutique winery owners in the region, Carl and Beth believe in the
value of handcrafted wines, requiring that every stage of the process
of winemaking be done in small lots. In each precise step, every single
bottle produced is given the utmost in attention and loving care. No
detail is overlooked; no amount of careful planning is skipped in the
effort to produce Penman Spring’s award-winning wines. The consequence of such meticulous management of the winemaking process is
evident in every glass of these marvelous wines.
The vines have been painstakingly planted around an innovative
trellis system that maximizes the amount of sun each cluster receives
and allows for optimum flavor development and color maturity. Carl,
a perfectionist when it comes to growing grapes, has chosen to plant
seven varieties that include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet
Franc, Petite Verdot, Syrah, Petite Syrah and Muscat Blanc to produce
his artisan wines.
And the McCasland’s attention to detail did not stop with their
grapes. They hired arguably the most charming hostess on the Central
Coast to greet their visitors. Rosie holds court from Friday through
Sunday in the Penman Springs tasting room. An emigrant from
Nicaragua, Rosie sets a tone for the tasting room that is at once both
professional and inviting, gently joking with her guests while
dispensing the fine wines of Penman Springs. With her natural
warmth and sincerity, she makes everyone feel as though they are not
just in a tasting room, but in her “home.”
Penman Springs Vineyard is located just off of Highway 46. Take
the Union Road exit and proceed to Penman Springs Road. To learn
more about their wines, visit their website at penmansprings.com. or
call (805) 237-7959.

and that’s what you get.”
And the whimsical peek into the
building’s walls also gives you a glimpse of
the winery’s relaxed, unpretentious feel.
The 3,000-square-foot building houses
not only the tasting room, but also some
200-plus barrels stacked to the ceiling,
several stainless steel tanks and, off to the
side, a small office. Near the tasting bar is a
child’s table with crayons, the same table
once used by the daughter of winery owners
Claiborne (Clay) Thompson and Fredericka
Churchill. Thompson is also the winemaker.

Visit the Claiborne & Churchill tasting
room in San Luis Obispo’s Edna Valley and
you’ll soon be gazing at what’s called the
“Truth Window.”
It’s a small oval surrounded by a gold
frame providing a glimpse of a straw bale
wrapped in chicken wire. Huh? The truth is
that the walls of the cavernous, barn-style
structure, built in 1995, are made of straw
bales.
On a cool day in February, there’s a chill
inside the structure, but during the peak
tasting season when temperatures can reach
into the 80s and, occasionally, the 90s, the
tasting room provides a haven for visitors.
Equally important, said Thompson, “the

their own way. The former University of
Michigan language professors specialize in
Alsatian-style wines such as dry Riesling
and dry Gewurztraminer.
Gewurztraminer, Thompson dryly
noted, “is not exactly a household word.”
“This niche is not a big niche,” he added.
It is, however, one that leads many wine
drinkers to seek out the Claiborne &
Churchill tasting room.
“They can get a Chardonnay anywhere
they go,” said Churchill.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Hand-made Books on Exhibit at Elverhoj Museum
Debuting February 2 at the Elverhoj Museum of History and Art is
“Artists’ Books Made Here,” an exhibition of non-conventional bookforms by nearly twenty Central Coast Artists. These artists make
unique and small edition books, creating all aspects of the object:
material, format, image, text and elaboration.
A reception for the artists will be held on Friday, February 8, from
5 to 7 p.m. Appetizers and refreshments will be served and the public
is invited to meet and celebrate with the artists. Exhibiting artists are:
Linda Benet, Stephanie Dotson, Linda Ekstrom, Linda Foster, Diane
Handloser, Mary Heebner, Thomas Larson, Jill Littlewood, Jennifer
Marsh, William McVicar, Lisa Moore, Sara Norquay, Terre Ouwehand,
Sandra and Harry Reese, Elena Mary Siff, Nina Warner, Ann Wisehart
and Pamela Zwehl-Burke.
The artists’ books may be narrative, pictorial or abstract and
sequential in content. Since bookartists seek to marry content to form,
physical aspects and bindings vary greatly. In the exhibition are examples of signature, petal, side-stitched, eightfold, accordion, portfolio
To Santa Maria,
Paso Robles
and complex bindings. Most of these books have been produced in
editions of three or more, and many will be available for purchase.
On Sunday, February 24, several of the exhibiting artists will gather
for an on-site panel discussion from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
Guest curator is Pamela Zwehl-Burke who has made, taught and
exhibited artists’ books since the early 1970s. The exhibit will remain
on display through April 6, 2008.
The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art, located at 1624 Elverhoj
Way in Solvang, is open Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m.,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment. Exhibits
showcase Solvang’s rich history and celebrate the Danish-American
pioneer spirit and the colorful heritage of Denmark.
The Museum Gallery features changing exhibitions of regional,
national and international art. There is no charge for admission.
Suggested donation is $3. Children 12 and under and members are
free. For more information, call the Museum at (805) 686-1211 or
