Okay so they don’t serve tires in the tasting room but you’ve heard the name Firestone right? Tires? Beer? Wine? Politics? Or maybe from TV’s The Bachelor? They have a rich and diverse family history that you’re welcome to Google if you’re interested in learning more. There are tasting rooms in both Santa Ynez and Paso Robles, and the wine making all goes on in Santa Ynez. We stopped in to the Firestone Tasting Room in Paso Robles and had a good time tasting through the wines and chatting with the wine fairies (one of our new words for tasting room attendants). The 2006 or 2007 Lineage (The Chairman Series, a Bordeaux Blend) and the 2006 Cab Sauv (also from The Chairman Series) were amazing. They have a couple of tasting menu options and plenty of wines to go through. You should definitely check this place out!!!

all I’ve ever had from them was a Gewurztraminer. I think it was pretty good. It was so long ago…
Joe, they’re pretty well known for their Gewurz…and I think it’s pretty good (if I remember right). Pretty good list of stuff to taste, good variety and whatnot! Awesome spot, with a killer view of the water park across the street! Cheers!
HAH!! I went there a few years ago and got forcibly kissed by two adorable boxer puppies. That was my favorite part of the trip 🙂
Brian, how funny! When we were there, there was an incredibly cute boxer grown-up that did tricks for crackers! Love those winery dogs!
Hi guys! I finally got around to checking out your site – it’s so well done. Come back and see us now that we have changed our winery to EOS… and keep up the good work. Thanks for the shout-out (I actually know about great legs and firm tannins now!) Hope you are having a killer start to the new year… Kelli from EOS (formerly Firestone)
Hi Kelli! Thanks for checking us out! We’ll make it out to EOS one of these days soon and surprise you…and chat about legs and tannins and whatnot! Cheers!
