We've been to visit Paso Robles, halfway between LA and San Francisco, a couple of times. Beautiful area, great wineries & restaurants, stellar wines. Only 30 miles inland from the Pacific, so if you're traveling the PCH, make sure to stop a day - or 2! I was happy to see some price-pleasing Paso wines at Trader Joe's, including this Roustabout at $5.99. The tannins in the 2010 could use a few more years to soften, so we aerated with the Vinturi at first. By the time our yummy Trader Joe's frenched bone-in pork chops came off the grill, the wine had opened up. It worked nicely with the rest of the meal: Braised fennel, sugar snaps & multigrain ciabatta.
