2011 Paso Robles Wine Festival Recap!
First of all, we would like to thank all of you who came out and celebrated the 29th annual Paso Robles Wine Festival with us this year. We had such an amazing weekend and such a great time meeting new people and reacquainting with long time patrons. We had visitors from all over the country and everyone seemed to be in great spirits.
Both Niels and Bimmer agree, when they started Castoro Cellars almost 28 years ago they had a great feeling about the potential of Paso Robles, and both agree that they never imagined it would become what it is today (one of the best wine regions in the world)! Not only is Paso Robles producing world-class wines, it has become a wonderful destination with a plethora of great restaurants, live music and beautiful places to stay.
This year we kicked off our wine fest weekend with a Friday night dinner at the Tasting Room featuring Oysters Shooters and authentic Cajun Tapas provided by Bon Temps catering and live music performed by Luke Byron and his band. The combination of the music, food and wine alongside a great group of people really made it a night to remember and a great way to kick off a festive weekend.
Saturday, which is when the festival really kicks off, was about as beautiful a day as we could ask for this time of year. The sun was shining, there was a light breeze but it wasn’t too hot, as a matter of fact it was just right. Niels and Bimmer spent the day pouring in the park in downtown Paso Robles, while the Tasting Room featured live music by Luke Byron, great food, and of course wine tasting including barrel samples of some soon to be released wines.
Sunday proved to also be a wonderful day as well with all of the above and live music performed by Zzah, who played their 16th wine festival performance at Castoro Cellars! Now that the weekend has come to an end we are all a little tired but very grateful for all of those who came out to support Castoro Cellars and Paso Robles wines! We hope to see you all again soon!
Cheers,
Luke
