We showed up to this very unique winery in Paso Robles at about 4 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. It was so quiet that we thought perhaps it was closed, but it very much open and we’re glad we stopped by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grounds were very pleasant, decorated with interesting artwork<\/a> (created by the owner) and plenty of plants shading the patio. The tasting room was decorated with a striking black and white tile floor, lavender walls with gold accents, giving it a very “Alice in Wonderland” feel. But the thing that really sets this winery apart, is their “playroom”…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reserved for wine club members only, there is a large room off to the side, full of mirrors and various different wigs. I can only imagine the fun in this room after a solid afternoons wine tasting with a group of friends! We weren’t technically allowed in there, but since we were the only two visitors at the time, I did sneak in for a quick look, and my wife snapped a couple of photos of me in a rather dashing dreadlock wig – 25 years after I cut my own dreads off. It was an amusing flashback, but I don’t think I’ll grow them back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wines were good, and we bought four bottles, including two of their 2012 Estate Grand Rouge and a couple of bottles of white. I mean… how can you not buy a wine called “2 Cocky Sisters”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
