Although Wild Horse Winery is technically in Templeton, it is part of the general idea of the “Paso Robles wine scene”…which is why I used Paso and Templeton in the title.
Now that this is cleared up, we haven’t been to Wild Horse in years but had been a couple times prior and enjoyed our time. One of those times was part of a ‘media tour’ which was an absolute blast. Hanging out with some other writers as well as Wild Horse winemakers and staff to taste through a bunch of their Pinot Noirs was heaven. I’m a Pinot whore if you didn’t know.
Annie and I each tasted five wines on the menu. I don’t remember what Annie tried but here’s what I had:
2013 Malvasia Bianca $22.00
2013 Vioginer $17.00
2012 Blaufrankisch $26.00
2012 Reserve Malbec $34.00
2012 Reserve Merlot $35.00
I enjoyed everything I tried but the Malvasia Bianca and Blaufrankisch are always fun because they are rare to our area. The Malbec and Merlot were quite tasty too. Chantel, the awesome chick that poured for us, was cool to chat with and knew her stuff…which is always nice. Overall, another great central coast wine experience.
I love their wine, I use to be a wine club member the day we went there for wine tasting, until I was unemployed in 2009, I had to cancel all my wine clubs.
I agree, Beverly, good stuff. Sorry the unemployment thing happened to you.
I visited there a couple of weeks ago as well. Your two favorites were mine too and I purchased both in addition to the Floyd Rosé just because I love that Llama. The wine isn’t bad either. Beautiful silk screened label!!
Dawn, for sure. We enjoyed the Rose as well and Floyd is a badass. 😉
Matt, in September, Wild Horse does a dinner cruise around Morro Bay. We have been twice it’s really nice, relaxing and they don’t allow more than 25 people. We hope to go again this year.
Oh how cool, Jo. Didn’t know that.
Matt I think its mainly wine club members we aren’t but they let us in, I will let you know when they announce it! Really fun
Thanks, Jo. Not sure we’d be able to make it but you never know.
