A Napa Valley rarity, they have free tastings here. I went all the way to Anderson Valley and most of those places still charge $5. And it's not like Heitz is pouring low-priced wine. I tasted an $80 cab that was four years out of vintage which was a joy to drink. They also sell a decades worth of library vintages from both Trailside and Martha's Vineyards. If $75 to $150 cabs are too much, then pick-up a balanced bottle of Sauvignon Blanc for $20.
Winemaker Justin Knight’s story of becoming a winemaker is one of hard work, patience, and perseverance in achieving his goal. As a Temecula native, Justin began his journey to winemaking in 2011, right here at Danza del Sol Winery. Starting in the tasting room, Justin quickly realized the cellar and vineyard were where he truly wanted to be. With Old World approaches and years honing his craft, Justin is passionate about producing wines that are filled with tradition and simplicity, while incorporating new-age techniques to ensure great, high-quality wines.

Some of the original settlers of Chicago Park were first-generation Italian-Americans from Chicago, Illinois. The orchards and vineyards of Chicago Park bear witness to their quest to start a community in the untamed West that mirrored their homeland. Their spirit lives on at Montoliva Vineyard & Winery. Founded in 2000, Montoliva Vineyard & Winery creates Tuscan-inspired wines of uncommon depth and character.
Wilson Creek Winery is warm and friendly, comfortable yet exhilarating, simple yet elegant, all inspirations from the Estate wines, vineyards and Mount Palomar in the distance. What makes this Winery for me is the grounds. Tons of places to sit and enjoy your wine tastings. I think what makes it for me, is that I don't feel confined to standing at the tasting bar. I can walk around with my tastings. I don't particularly feel as free to do that at other Wineries. This winery has a lot to offer to visitors that are looking to do a little wine tasting in Temecula Wine Country.
While waiting for his vines to mature, Steve Martell crafted his first few vintages using grapes from friends and neighbors. Even as his vineyard reaches full production, he plans to maintain some of these contracts. The exceptional quality of this fruit adds depth and dimension to the young grapes from his estate.
The Kaleidos label holds personal significance for Martell. It's named after his mother's shop, where she sold kaleidoscopes and other art. This name resonates deeply with him and perfectly represents his wines. Just as a kaleidoscope blends light and colors into unique images, his vines merge the elements of soil and sunlight to create distinctive fruit characteristics.
Each sip of Kaleidos wine reflects Martell's meticulous attention to detail. He invites you to taste the fruit of his passion. Kaleidos wines are available for tasting at the Tin City tasting room located at 3075 Blue Rock Road, Paso Robles.
