As we meandered ever so diligently (not really) around the Paso Robles Wine Festival, we came across Gary Eberle of Eberle Winery…and good times were being had. As per the usual, the Eberle booth was slammed with people and wine was flowing. We got to ask Gary some questions and spend some time with him…pretty cool!
If you know anything about the wine industry in the Paso Robles area, you know that the Eberle name has been showing up since very early on; including being a co-founder of the Wine Festival here in Paso. Gary truly is one of those people you need to sit down with in order to really grasp his knowledge, his sense of humor, and his deep rooted love of Paso Robles. He’s been involved since the beginning and has some of the greatest stories, full of history and laced with lots of red wine (another reason we dig him).
And we think that’s the one thing that stands out the most, Gary Eberle is genuinely in love with the Paso Robles wine industry…we don’t think there is a bigger advocate than him, and it is always awesome to hear him chat about the last few decades in this area.

Too funny! Watch out, Matt! 🙂
Hey Dahlynn…he’s on the lookout! He loves Gary!!!
Of course i have a crush on Annie, you too Bev, and if Matt would shave his legs we might get something going there too.
Nice coverage of the Wine Fest and HdR. Helps getting things out about the Paso wine world. Now if we could just find summer. This year is starting out colder than last, and last year was the coldest summer in Paso since they started keeping records in 1881. I love the hot Paso summers, but they have left for … Phoenix??
If this global warming keeps up there are going to be a lot of frosty spring mornings in our future. No grapes of course, but lots of frost.
Very flattering, Gary! I’ve been trying to get Matt to shave his legs for years! Hmmph!
We’re missing Summer, too…waiting and waiting…
