“The Robert Hall Tasting”
We’ve had spectacular results with Paso Robles wine and this weekend we’re sampling an interesting assortment of varietals from one of the area’s leading winemakers, the Robert Hall Winery.
The Hall family fell in love with Rhone-style wines and winemaking during a visit in the 1980’s and in the early-90’s, Robert and Margaret Hall discovered the perfect terroir in the Paso Robles appellation featuring soil rich in nutrients, coupled with warm days and cool nights.
We’ll start off with a crisp Sauvignon, move on to a delicious Viognier and then into a supple Cabernet Sauvignon. For a change-of-pace this weekend, we’ll end with an Orange Muscat and a Port, both of which make terrific dessert companions.
We invite you to stop by and enjoy these excellent wines that are discounted for the events and join your fellow tasters and another varied assortment of cheeses and other goodies with your host, Bill Callahan.
