There’s a “group” in town called the SLO Pourers…I put that in quotes because they’re a Facebook group that’s focused on young locals that work in the wine industry, learning about and exploring the world of wine. They pick a wine variety and then gather to do a blind tasting. Everybody brings a bottle, along with complimentary snacks, and they taste through the different bottles. The point is to learn more about a specific variety of wine, be it local or not, and also to learn more about your own palate. Anyway, we got invited to Tempranillo night, and we had a blast! Check it out…

Was this at someones house in Paso? Can’t find them on FB? Come back …for part 2….
Hi Bev! Yes, it was at one of the group members’ house – search for SLO Pourers (group) on FB…Everyone had a great time! It was a neat event, great idea to do blind tasting, we learned a lot about our own palates and what other opinions on the wines were. No worries…there will be more to come!!! 😉

Okay ladies and gentleman…Part Deux of Tempranillo tasting….!!!
Raid and Candy Corn?…um-m-m-need I say more. Looked like a ton of fun. you guys are too funny. What was the final-final votes? would be interesting to see how about a dozen ‘tipsey’ folks voted. Palete might be numb after about 6/8 tastes? keep up the good times!
We had a great time! Final winner was an ’04 Silver Stone Tempranillo from Paso Robles. We were doing pretty small tastes…so we held it together!
Haha! I love you guys! That was an amazing night. I hope you’ll blog the next one as well! Love you!
We’ll definitely blog the next one!!! You can’t keep us away now…hehehe. xoxo
