ON THE COVER WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

The earliest deed on record for this sprawling ranch in the
Adelaida area was to Paso Robles pioneer Edwin Smith in the
1880s. The ranch was later broken up, and in 1943 the MacGill-
livray family purchased the portion that encompassed what is now
Halter Ranch.
Swiss-born businessman/environmentalist Hansjrg Wyss bought900 acres of the property in 2000, including the Victorian farmhouse
built by Smith. Along with an enthusiastic, hard-working team, Wyss
has put more than seven years and much care into his property. In the
250-acre vineyard, each block has been carefully planted to not only
the variety best suited for each, but on particular rootstock and with
certain clones. Additionally, the farmhouse has been completely reno-
vated, and the groundwork has been laid for a new, state-of-the-art
winery.
VINEYARD
The estate Halter Ranch Vineyard was initiated in 1996 and has
since been expanded to its present 250 acres under the direction of
Winegrower Mitch Wyss. His dedication to sustainable farming prac-
tices is evident; organic methods of fertilization, weed removal, pest
control and mildew protection are used whenever possible. Sustain-
able farming not only respects and protects the land and the people
who work it, says Wyss, it also results in wines that more eloquently
express their provenance.
Wyss applied the same sort of dedication and passion when
planting the estate vineyard. There are 19 grape varieties planted in 42
separate vineyard blocks delineated primarily based on soil types,
which range from calcareous clay to clay loam with shale deposits.
About 60% are Bordeaux varieties and 40% Rhne varieties, plus a
of Zinfandel. Selected for their individual characteristics, such as sm
clusters and berry sizes, Wyss carefully chose multiple clones (gen
variations) and rootstocks for each variety. Additionally, the vi
occupy the steepest, most south-facing slopes on the property, wh
reach an elevation of 1800 feet and provide excellent water drain
and sun exposure. These slopes are also rich in limestone, a featurmany of the worlds finest vineyards. When these conditions syner
tically come together (well-drained soils, low-yielding clones
high-density plantings), small crops of intensely flavored fruit are
result; the prerequisite for making superb wines.
WINES
The wide range of varieties grown in their estate vineyard affo
Winemaker Bill Sheffer the opportunity to produce not only wine
a single variety like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon but also crea
blends like his Ranch Red.
Sheffers wines are rich and genuine, each expressing varietal ch
acter as well as the unique attributes of the estate vineyard. My with these wines is to make them drinkable upon release, he sa
but also to balance them with powerful depth and concentrati
allowing them to age well in the bottle.
Current releases include 2004 Syrah, 2004 Cabernet Sauvign
2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006 Viognier, and a 2006 Rh
style Ros. The 2003 Synthesis Estate Reserve, Sheffers choice of
optimum blend from the best red wine lots of the vintage, will
released in the fall. All and more are available at www.halterranch.co
but better yet, visit the tasting room and get a feel of what Halter Ran
is all about.

When one thinks of Central Coast
wines, one automatically thinks of
Paso Robles, certainly. San LuisObispo has made a name for itself in its rela-
tively small growing area as well. Santa Ynez
comes to mind and so do Los Olivos and the
Santa Rita Hills and those are the primary
areas most consumers think about when it
comes to Santa Barbara County.
In fact, Santa Barbara County grows a
large majority of its grapes in the Santa Maria
Valley, north of Los Olivos, south of San Luis
Obispo and east of the self-proclaimed All-
American city, Santa Maria. This is Wine
Country and the list of vineyards here readlike a whos who of Central Coast farming:
Cambrias Katherines Vineyard, Bien Nacido,
Rancho Sisquoc, Garey Vineyard. The first
Vinifera grapes to come to Santa Barbara
County were grown right here as well. So it is
fitting that one of the names synonymous
with Central Coast winemaking came here to
open his eponymous winery. Ken Volk the
man who made Wild Horse, has come to
Santa Maria. Purchasing what was the orig-
inal Byron winery and after that, a Robert
Mondavi property, Volk bought the fixer-
upper on Tepusquet Canyon, above the
creek and reinvented his wines and his
company.
This is some of the nicest soil in Santa
Barbara County, says Volk who speaks excit-
edly when he talks about wine. The frac-
tured rock and sandy soils give us great
drainage and produce really nice fruit. Volks
12-acre winery has its own vineyard of four
acres and its all Chardonnay. To be sure, Volk
is making Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and a
limted amount of Syrah, but he is able to tap
into all of the vineyards in this area and is
creating wines that he says, just dont get the
recognition that they should. Grapes likeMalvasia Bianca and Verdelho are just some
of the varietals Volk is making this year.
If Gary Eberle is the Central Coasts
Godfather of wine, then Kenneth Volk is the
heir apparent. A renaissance winemaker who
majored in fruit science at Cal Poly San Luis
Obispo, a major which is now tied in to the
new wine and viticulture program. Volks
prior winery has been a training ground for
what he estimates is around 15 head wine-
makers and operations mangers at vario
facilities.
His farming interests go well beyond
vineyard, too, and into heirloom varieties
various vegetables and fruits. He has a ha
of making big changes to get the job do

As you drive along Peachy Canyon
Road you experience a different kind
of silence. Roll the windows down and
listen for the distant sound of a tractor and
the smell of the dry grass fields. The twisting
road leads you past families of quail bobbing
across your path, and it slows you down. As
you experience these sights and sounds you
will also glimpse the geology that has made
Paso Robles famous. Limestone soil is known
throughout the world to be a highly desirable
component for cultivating fine wine grapes.
It is no surprise when you find the entrance
to Minassian-Young Vineyards you notice a
dry stack wall of the calcareous rocks that
abound here. Proceeding up the driveway of
this small family vineyard you pass 27-year-old head-pruned vines, your views of the
Zinfandel vineyard unfold. The vineyard is
dry farmed, or farmed only with the rainfall
from that year, Which not only makes big
wines but truly reflects the climate of that
year, according to David Young the propri-
etor, winemaker and vineyard manager.
Park your car at the crest of the hill and
you will have a sweeping panorama of the
vineyards and walnut orchards along with the
ambling Peachy Canyon Road below. When
you enter the tasting room, the persimmon
painted walls draw you in to a bright and
vibrant mood. I modeled the tasting room
after my sisters dining room in San Francisco;
it has such great warmth and interest to it.Inside this lovely room you will be greeted
with a warm welcome and offered a sample of
their latest releases.
The name Minassian-Young comes from
the surnames of Davids parents. Christine
was born in the Far East; her heritage is
Armenian, English and Burmese. After trav-
eling to London and then settling in Cali-
fornia she met and married Conrad, whose
Scottish ancestor left a small village near
Glasgow to build sawmills in Vancouver and
then helped settle Hawaii. They met at Cal
Poly San Luis Obispo and have kept the ties
to the area and school for more than 40 years.
David chose the name to represent both sides
of the family.
Currently Minassian-Young is producing
Rhnes, Zinfandels, Bordeauxs and a few
Spanish style blends. The Central Coast is
great because there are cool- and warm-
weather climates allowing us to focus on a
wide range of varietals. Our basic w
philosophy is to do no harm, if we and
winegrowers have done their jobs right,
grapes should be near perfect, and we try
maintain that integrity through the w
making process. We are really excited haventered in the first year of our organic cert
cation.
David tells that summer is a favorite ti
of year because it is our last chance to let
hair down before harvest. The winerys n
event is August Moon in the Adelaida Sch
House (August 25). The event will feature
sixteen Far Out Wineries pouring collabo
tive blends of eight different wines. Thi
just a good old-fashioned barbecue in W
Country.
Before you leave, take a last look at
winery and surroundings. If you are luck
hawk will swoop by, his feathered wings t
him just above the vines stitched along
hills. You cant imagine this spot should e
be anything but the family winery it is.

Situated in a region known for long summer days and distinctive
evening fog, the grapes for the Grand Firepeak Cuvee Chardonnay ripened
at lower than usual ripeness in 2005 due to an extremely cool September.
Thus, the citrus flavors come through without the high alcohol, and with a
firm acidic structure. The result: a style reminiscent of genuine white
Burgundy. Pairing this wine with a Chicken Breasts with Pear Chutney
recipe balances the sweetness from the chutney with the acidity of the
wine, a match that is guaranteed to refresh during dinner on the patio on a
warm summer evening.
Leading with rich pineapple and hints of pear, this wine is crisp, fresh
and lively, says winemaker Christian Roguenant. Our trademark mineral
qualities exist, along with lime and other citrus characteristics.
Baileyana focuses on making Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah from
their estate Firepeak Vineyard, planted to many new French clones. It runs
right up to the base of Islay Mountain, only four miles as the seagull flies
from the Pacific Ocean. The soils here are heavily influenced by layers of
fossilized seashells left behind 25 million years back when the seas rose at
the end of the last Ice Age. The soils are made more complex by eroded
volcanic rock.
The Baileyana tasting room is located at the restored historic one-room
Independence Schoolhouse built in the heart of the Edna Valley in 1909.
It provides a selection of gourmet food, specially selected fine gifts and
apparel, and a picnic area where you can enjoy a leisurely game of croquet
or bocce ball with the family. The tasting room is located at: 5828 Orcutt
Road San Luis Obispo. Visit them online at www.baileyana.com.

High upon a hill overlooking the vine-
yards of Justin Vineyards & Winery
is a majestic 15,000-square-foot
chateau, built by owners Justin and DeborahBaldwin, that underscores their dedication to
produce world-class Bordeaux-style wines.
Its a reminder that no corners are cut at
Justin, and those lofty standards certainly
extend to the winerys tasting room.
From the polished copper tasting bars and
limestone floors to the handsome display of
wines in wooden bins, the Justin tasting room
evokes a classy, yet relaxed atmosphere.
Seth Engel, the tasting room manager
whos been with Justin for almost five years,said the winery is generally not just another
stop on a day of wine tasting for most visitors.
Part of that is due to Justins reputation for
producing world-class wines, and partly
because the winery and vineyards are nestled
in the rolling hills on the western edge of the
Paso Robles Wine Country.
Near the end of a twisting, undulating
two-lane country road, Justin is no spur-of-
the-moment visit.
Many of those sampling wines at the Justin
tasting room, said Engel, are passionate
about wine and are determined to find us.
In other words, they are looking for the
good stuff.
A flight of five tastings is available at $5 per
person. On the day I visited, Engel poured a
crisp 2006 Sauvignon Blanc, followed by a
Chardonnay of the same vintage, a 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2005 Syrah. The
ultimate sample was of a 2006 Deborahs
Delight, which is indeed a delightful blend of
Orange Muscat and Viognier.
With the naturally beautiful surroundings
of the Paso Robles countryside enhanced by a
stunning English garden, guests often linger
on the Justin grounds. Picnickers canpurchase from an eclectic array of cheeses
sold at the tasting room. A couple and their
young son sat beside a small pool that can be
used by guests in one of the four suites of the
JustInn.
You can enhance the tasting experience
and gain a greater appreciation of the wine-
making process with a winery tour. Tours,
offered twice daily for $10, last about an hour.

2007 Winery Music Awards Competition OpenThe 2007 Winery Music Awards competition, the Paso Robles-
based showcase of original music artists from across the US and
Canada who are unsigned with major record labels, kicked off its
five-concert series of competitions in June with five female artists
competing for a spot at the final competition in October and a
chance to win prizes, cash and a breakthrough recording contract.
The June event was held at Maloy ONeill Vineyards in Paso
Robles and featured a variety of musical genres, including pop,
rock, country and folk, performed by artists from Los Angeles, San
Diego, Sacramento and Portland, OR.
We are very excited about the caliber of talent that we have
playing at this summers competition, says Kathy Kelly, producer
of the Winery Music Awards. It just happened that all of the first
five artists were female because of how the schedule worked out,
but the July through September Elimination Rounds will be fairlybalanced between male and female artists.
A panel of notable judges influential in the music, entertain-
ment and wine industries votes its choices for best artists of the
competition. Artists are judged in the categories of originality,
musicianship and, most importantly, marketability to the wine-
consuming market. The competition is open to the music genres
of: jazz, rock, blues, new age, acoustic, country, folk, soft rock,
reggae and adult contemporary.
June artists were Kerri Dopart, San Diego, CA, Rocky Gaines,
Los Angeles, CA; Debra Arlyn, Portland, OR; Shannon Curtis,
Sacramento, CA and Kimberly Jean, Los Angeles, CA.
The results of each Elimination Round concert are posted on the
Winery Music Awards website, www.winerymusicawards.com.
The atmosphere is both relaxed and filled with excitement at
the same time. Hearing relatively unknown artists perform
wonderful music is like tasting a new wine for the first time and
absolutely loving it both moments are experiences to be savored.
When you take everything into account the music, the wine, the
winery atmosphere, and the chance to see and hear possibly the
next Platinum seller, this truly is a unique and exciting event, adds
Kelly.
Ticket information is also available on the website, or by calling
1-800-838-3006.A total of twenty unsigned, original music artists compete at the
Winery Music Awards Semi-Final Elimination Round concerts,
held on one Saturday each month from June to September, with
the final competition on Sunday, October 7.
Founded and produced by Kathy Kelly Productions, Inc., the
competition was created out of the growing popularity of quality
musical performances at many wineries throughout California.
Artist performances are judged by music and entertainment
industry professionals in the categories of originality, musicianship
and marketability to the prime wine-consuming market, men and
women aged 21-54 The Grand Prize winner of the previ
Winery Music Awards competition, held in 2005, was Arr

Established in 1996, Penman Springs artisan vineyard is 40 acres
of beautiful hilltop overlooking the east side of Paso Robles. The prop-
erty was previously home to two other premium labels, and judging
from Penman Springs first releases, the tradition of fine wine produc-tion is in good hands.
Toni and Sharon Baron planted the first grapevines on the prop-
erty in 1981, and established Baron Vineyards as part of a joint
venture with Kolb Vineyards across Union Road. A former fireman,
Baron continues to produce his Fire House red and white wines,
which understandably enjoy a loyal following in fire stations across
the country.
In the early 1990s, Gary and Becky Porter joined with Joseph and
Shirlene Barton to purchase the vineyard and renamed it Grey Wolf
Cellars and Vineyards. (The Bartons have since moved Grey Wolf
Cellars to its current location on Highway 46 West). Gary decided the
future of the property lay in red wine production and decided to graft
over the existing Sauvignon Blanc vines to Merlot, Zinfandel and
Cabernet Sauvignon. He also created a beautiful one-acre terraced
vineyard that has matured to produce rich Merlot fruit.
The propertys new life as Penman Springs started in 1996, when
Carl and Beth McCasland made farming their future and moved their
two high school girls to Paso Robles. For Carl, it was a return to
boyhood dream, albeit via the somewhat circuitous route of San F
cisco, Plymouth, Michigan and El Paso, Texas. A serious student
successful businessman, Carl read every available book and arttook every class offered, and began to see a clear vision of the fu
for Penman Springs Vineyard. He tested soils and leaves, consu
with experts, began to enrich the soils where he determined ne
sary, developed new wells, refurbished existing trellises and replan
missing vines.
Carl also looked for ways to expand the vineyards. In addition
expanding upon the existing Merlot vines, he planted a five-acre b
of Syrah and replanted five acres of existing vineyards to Petite Si
The McCaslands realized the first harvest of those varieties in 2
and 2001, respectively.
After carefully planning the changes in the vineyard, Carl plan
the winemaking in an equally methodical fashion. He found a s
stemmer, crusher and small bladder press, and in the fall of 1998,
and Winemaker Larry Roberts began the crush with Penm
Springs own Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The 1
vintages offered, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat Blanc
Chardonnay. A dessert Muscat patterned after the great Austra
fortified Muscats was released in 2001, and future plans include v
etal releases of Syrah and Petite Sirah.
The McCaslands invite you to their tasting room to taste the wi
wander the vineyard and enroll as a Pen Pal wine club member.

About Salisbury Vineyards
John Salisbury a farmer and wine-grape grower whose roots go
all the way up to the Sacramento Delta area where the Salisbury
amily has been farming in Walnut Grove, CA since 1850 began
growing grapes in the Paso Robles area in 1997. In 2000, he beganenovation on the old Santa Fe schoolhouse, an area landmark and a
multiple-use facility for many years. My father, John, is a great
visionary, says Jennifer Rucks, and could see the schoolhouse as an
ideal location far before anyone else! His role has been the m
instrumental to this dream. In May of 2005, the work complet
Salisbury opened up the facility under the Salisbury Vineyards na
Now, the old schoolhouse is open for tasting of Salisburys wine se
days a week.
Jennifer and her husband, Kevin (also a professional skateboard
work with John Salisbury in maintaining all operations. With th
two children and a past filled with varied and diverse career inter
like skatepark owners, artists, and now vintners, the two have m
a home here in SLO County in this unique facility.
The tasting room also has a gallery, Salisbury Fine Art, owned
her mother, Maridel Salisbury and represents more than 150 rec
nized artists nationally and even internationally.
The wines of Salisbury are as varied and diverse as is the fam
and the tasting room features the familys Pinot Noir, cool-clim
Syrah, Paso Robles Zinfandel, Chardonnay and even some Cabern
There are some truly unique wines as well, like Pinot Naturale

it gives this consummate winemaker the chance to work more effi-
ciently and effectively. We run a 24-hour operation, especially
during harvest, and its nice to be closer to the vineyards Im using.
Still, Volk gets Bordeaux varietals from the Paso Robles area as well
as Viognier from Templeton. His truck and his dog Lola, along with
four other dogs, are well traveled over the vineyards of the Central
Coast.
Coming full-circle back to Santa Barbara County, Volk is happier
with his lot now. If Ive learned anything in the wine business, I
dont show it because I got back into it, he laughs. I like a chal-
lenge, though and I like to experiment and try new things. At
Wild Horse, Volk was spending more and more time on the admin-
istrative side of the business and that isnt what he wanted. But now,
I spend 60% of my time in the vineyards and the winery.
Volk also spends a good deal of time at his alma mater, Cal Poly.
He is working on the fundraising and planning side of building a
research winery at the university. The curriculum has been appro
and now, hes working on getting instructors and staff hired. Th
hard, though because the cost of living versus what the universi
paying is pretty steep. He is a tireless recruiter and advocate for
university and the new winery gives him a chance to be m
involved there. Im fortunate enough to have a strong operati
manager in Michael Brughelli and a good staff, says Volk. His
is not only winery owner, but winemaker as well. Were pretty l
but were where we need to be at this point in time.
Focusing on sales and marketing, Volk has partnered with sev
distributors in various places across the United States where
wants his wines to have a presence. I want to try to keep this so
its still fun and manageable, he says. I dont want to get too
ahead of myself. Volks family is based in San Luis Obispo and t
with them is important, too. But I may start another winery in P
Robles and I have some other ideas as well. Its no surprise, ththat the man who invented Wild Horse and reinvented himse
still has a little of that wildness left in him.
