“A wine shop in “Independence Mall!” A mall that is recreated to look like Independence Hall. Amazing selection. Regular tastings. Saved me when I was on a trip and was desperate for a good bottle.”

This is Hubba! If you haven’t found Tin City i This is Hubba! 

If you haven’t found Tin City in Paso Robles yet, put it on your wine tasting map. Tin city is cool collection of tasting rooms/wineries, distilleries and eats on the outskirts of Paso Robles. You can wine taste all day and never leave Tin City and there are some great brands here. 

Hubba is in the back corner of Tin City. I have been visiting Tin City for years and I missed it and I’m upset I did. 

Hubba is the deep passion project of Riley Hubbard. Folks, she is the real deal. I think she can hear wine. Every wine I tasted was exactly where it was supposed to. It’s like she sang to the grapes and the juice and it just agreed to become dope wine. Her attention to detail and the science of making great wine can only be described by this luddite as the magic. 

I’m a fan and cannot recommend this spot enough. If me gushing about the wine isn’t enough, they have a full Summer concert series as well! Yup, they are cool like that.

This is Adelaida sitting beautifully at 1500’ ab This is Adelaida sitting beautifully at 1500’ above Paso Robles in the Adelaida District AVA. 

The views are stunning up here on their 2K acre estate. With so much room, they have lots of tasting options both indoors and out. 

Adelaida is not a Rhône, Burgundy or Bordeaux inspired spot. They dabble in a few areas and giving lots of options for a variety of palates. 

Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy the views and sip slowly. ☺️
Nothing to see here! Just one of my favorite win Nothing to see here! 

Just one of my favorite wine brands. 

They just don’t make any bad wines. Seriously! 

I would love to recommend one of their bottles but it’s an insult to the others. 😝

Support small brands! Artisanal wineries is where it’s at!

When I booked this appointment at McPrice Myers I When I booked this appointment at McPrice Myers I conjured images of a stuffy and fancy appointment. Well… that was all in my head. There is nothing stuffy about this spot. 

McPrice Myers, better known as “Mac,” is the owner and winemaker of the winery bearing his name. Mac is friendly, a good listener and looks like the guy that might fix your muffler. Under the overalls, trucker hat and deep beard lies a man that is definitely no simpleton. Mac is in tune with his dirt, his fruit and his brand. He knows what he wants and driven to land the plane. His focus shows up in the glass. This juice is good. 

The original tasting room was in their large barn with their logo painted on the side. While I was there they were literally in process of moving the tasting room into a brand new sleek, minimalist building above the old barn. 

I guess I’ll just have to go back soon so I can check it out! ☺️ Who’s down for a Paso meet up?  Road trip!🚗

2022 Jolie Laide “Rancho Coda” Gamay Noir
Jolie Laide • Sonoma, CA

“Jolie Laide” in French mean “pretty ugly” however that literal translation ignores context and nuance. The term Jolie Laide describe something that is unconventionally beautiful and used as a term of endearment.I can assure you, there is nothing ugly about the wines that Scott & Jenny Schultz (owners/winemakers) produce. They are phenomenal. 

Gamay is one of the least represented varietals in the US. Somewhere north of 2M cases hit the shelves of those cute 🇫🇷 markets each year compared with the US that has so little it’s hard to actually measure the actual acreage. When you find domestic Gamay, you’ve got to give it a whirl. 😍

This sexy bottle was full of fruit… I’m talking a jumble. It wasn’t so candied because it was only partially “carb’d.” After the fruit, a hint of floral and some pepper. The smallest hint of sea shell & salinity made it the perfect pairing for bulgogi tacos & cabbage served on the lanai at sunset. You salivating yet? I was. 😊

No bad days! Enjoy the view and get sandy. 😎

Aloha! 🌈

2023 Darling La Cruz Pinot Gris
Darling • Sonoma

When the air and water are the ultimate temperature, why not bring the ultimate wine?

This stunning, fully organic, Pinot Gris is a low alcohol banger from Tom & Ashley Darling. This was one of my favorite wines from 2024. It’s got a little skin contact and isn’t filtered so if you are into Big Tank juice, this one may be a curve ball. Time to take off your training wheels and dive into artisinal! I can assure you, this juice is ridiculous! 😍

Peachy rose color in the glass, bright citrus, stone fruit and then floral in the nose. The palate is what makes it perfect for the beach. Lemon leaf and a little salinity that is all summer energy. 

No bad days! Enjoy the view and get sandy. 😎

Aloha! 🌈

2023 Lieu Dit Rosé of Cabernet Franc
Lieu Dit (Tyler) • Santa Barbara

Some times you have to just lay out, get some sun, get some color then cool off in the waves, then repeat as necessary until you say, “Ooooooh - Sah” 

This is Lieu Dit from the immaculate wine brain of Justin Willett (also Tyler Winery.) I am definitely a fan! On their website they say, “Few wines remind us of sea spray and sun quite like rosé.” I can tell you that no lies were told when that was written. 

This wild strawberry and blood orange banger is stunning and did not disappoint on the beach. 

No bad days! Let’s sit in a tide pool with some wine and get sandy. 😎

Aloha! 🌈

2023 St. Rey “SRV” Chenin Blanc
Haarmeyer Cellars • Sacramento

Craig Haarmeyer is a character. He is one of a handful of Sacramento based winemakers that are not just passionate about their craft, but they are also fierce advocates of artisanal wine in the area. 

Haarmeyer makes a diverse collection of wines but their primary focus is on Chenin Blanc. I, being a Chenin lush, love every part of that. Yes please. 🙋🏽‍♂️

Here’s to popping Chenin on a deserted beach that is all yours for the day. (I’m not kidding… we were out here all alone.) 

No bad days! Let’s sit in a tide pool with some wine and get sandy. 😎

Aloha! 🌈

2023 Christina’s Outlier Albariño
Acquiesce • Lodi

If there was a wine that is PERFECT to take with you to Hawaii, this is it. 

This pic is not a waterfall but actually a huge wave washing over a lava plateau and slowly running into the sand. This is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. 

An atypical Albariño from Lodi full of tropical fruit, hibiscus flowers and POG vibes. If you haven’t had POG, it’s Passion Orange and Guava juice that is very common “on-island.”

Cue up your favorite J Boog song and pop this gorgeous bottle on the beach. Don’t forget your Key & Swirl picnic wine glass, (✅ profile) this bottle is all island vibes. 🌴🌸👙

Another banger from Acquiesce in Lodi! 😎

Aloha! 🌈

2021  Paysan P’tit Pape, Rhône-Style Red Blend • IBrand & Family

A GSM+ blend from the clever mind of Ian Brand at IBrand & Family. At $25, it’s hard to beat this quality and it’s damn delicious juice. 

A raspberry, bay leaf & pepper jam that was a great post-beach, homemade pizza pairing.

nom-nom-nom 😋

Aloha

2022  Story of Soil Rosé of Pinot Noir

My family thought this was a skin-contact white. Don’t let the orange hue fool you, this is Pinot Noir folks! I love taking amazing wines to amazing places!

I thought I would pose this gorgeous bottle on Kauai’s famous red dirt. A little “dirt” shout out to Story of Soil’s owner/winemaker Jessica Gasca who is so passionate about what most people don’t think about.  That humble “dirt” is so much more than just what’s under our feet. 🤓

This acid driven, strawberry and orange leaf yum yum was the perfect beach bottle to share at Lawaii Kai! 

Enough typing, time for some more surfing. 😎

Aloha
