The Central California Coast Is Home To Some Of The Best Wine Grapes On The Earth.  The Consistent Influx Of Wine Growers In The Area Prove Out This Point.  The Rich Coastal Soil Combined With The Warm And Mild "Indian Summer" Climate Are Conducive To Some Of The Best Wine Grape Harvests Anywhere.  Just One Taste From A Local Vintage Tells You That You Have Come Upon Something Special And Thoroughly Decadent.  Maddie & I Are Somewhat Apprehensive Of "Letting The Cat Out Of The Bag" About These Wines...However, Good Secrets Are Hard To Keep!  The Napa Valley Wines Are Great, This Is True...However, The Central California Coastal Wines Are Quickly Becoming The Pride Of California.

If You Ever Have The Chance To Venture To The Central California Coast, You Will Have To Tour The Wine Countries Of San Luis Obispo And Santa Barbara Counties...There Are So Many Great Wineries In This Area...
