I just figured I would chime in to explain the "wine geek" talk from the winemaking perspective. As the winemaker for Don and Sons, I wanted to make sure our team has a good understanding of these wines and where they are made. The wines we tasted in Paso Robles were all fantastic. Probably our best vintage in Paso to date. The wines were also very young, coarse, and still completely out of balance. But this is the reason why wine is aged before it is released. It is like simmering your pasta sauce after adding all the ingredients. You give it time to come around and become harmonious. Just you wait until these 2009 vintage Paso wines hit the bottle, these will be some great wines from our portfolio. Enjoy the wine, we will make more!! Sincerely, Greg Kitchens Great blog, Leah.

Something we all love and relate to. Leah, it sounds like an educational experience that included history of the Don Sebastiani Family, as well as the winemaking process and ended with wine and food.
