WINE COUNTRY NEWS WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
www.winecountrythisweek.com6
by Dave Wilcox
Harvest is an exciting time at any
winery, but there’s been a special buzz
this autumn at Jada Vineyard &
Winery. Jada’s 2008 vintage is its first being
produced exclusively on site, thanks to the
completion this year of a handsome, state-of-
the-art winery and tasting room that over-
looks the vineyards in the serene rolling hills
west of Paso Robles.
“We’re very excited about it,” said Susan
West, Jada’s operations manager. “It’s a totally
different vibe. It’s so alive.”
Jada’s roots can be traced back a little more
than 10 years ago, when Jack Messina came
west from Florida looking for property in
Wine Country to grow olives. Those planssoon changed when a friend said Paso Robles
was emerging as a world-class wine region.
Messina fell in love with the area and
purchased the 90-acre property in 1999.
Olive trees still line the winding dirt road
leading up to the winery, and Jada bottles and
sells gourmet estate-grown olive oil.
Messina, who maintains his practice as a
heart surgeon in Florida – where his wife
works as a nurse – now splits his time
between the winery and the East Coast.
There’s no doubt, though, that Messina is very
much a hands-on winery owner.
“He’s a farmer at heart,” said consulting
winemaker Scott Hawley. “You come across a
lot of personalities in the wine industry. It’s
great to come across someone who’s in it for
the love of it.”
It was a passion stoked during trips to
Europe, including Burgundy and Tuscany.
Hawley, who also consults for other wine
and has his own label, said Messina is par
the winemaking process from the vineya
to the punch downs and bottling. S
acres of the 90-acre property are curren
planted to mostly Rhone and Bordeaux v
etals, with some vines planted more than
years ago.
But they are also in the second year o
program to replant about 15 acres, chang
the clones and increasing density. Hawley s
that will result in lowering the yield per v
– intensifying the flavors of the grapes.
Asked what convinced him to sign on
Jada’s winemaker, Hawley didn’t hesitate w
his answer.
“The vineyard and Jack Messina’s pass
for winemaking.”Pointing to a row of boulders stacked
makeshift wall, Hawley noted they all ca
from Jada’s hillside vineyards. The ro
calcareous soils, combined with its location
the heart of a notch in the westside h
known as the Templeton Gap, create uni
growing conditions, said Hawley.
“All the elements are here,” he s
“There’s nothing but potential.”
That potential has been realized in
J ADA VINEYARD & WINERYHeart Surgeon with His Heart in Farming
8/14/2019 Central Coast Edition - October 29,2008
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/central-coast-edition-october-292008 7/40
wines – primarily blends, although Jada produces a 100 percent
Syrah under the name Jersey Girl. The name is a nod to Robyn
Messina’s native New Jersey. In fact, Jack Messina gives all his wines
names that have some personal connection, including Jack of
Hearts, a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot blend and
Hell’s Kitchen, a reference to the famed New York neighborhood
where his parents first lived after immigrating to the U.S.The heart surgeon also named a Cabernet-Merlot blend Passing
By, a tongue-in-cheek play on words that suggests the health bene-
fits of red wine will help drinkers avoid bypass surgery.
The name of the winery itself honors Messina’s father, who
owned a fishing boat named Jada in the small fishing village in Italy
where he lived.
Hawley said in crafting wines for Jada, he resists trying to tailor
his style to what is currently popular.
“You make the best wine from the grapes to reflect the vineyard
and the consumers are going to follow.”
The winery’s first three vintages, beginning in 2005, were made
using facilities at nearby Calcareous and Denner vineyards. Now
Hawley, who on a recent weekday morning was assisting workers
de-stemming a batch of Merlot grapes, is eagerly anticipating the
chance to create wine on site.
Up to now, Jada’s production has been less than 2,000 cases
annually, but Hawley said he expects that to increase to about 2,500
for the 2008 vintage. But don’t look for Jada to ramp up its produc-
tion too much.
“Jack wants to stay true to the vineyard and not go high-volume,”
said Hawley. An old, red barn on the property now contains the winery and
tasting room. The two-story structure included horse stables that
now house separate barrel rooms, while upstairs the former living
quarters is now a warmly decorated tasting room, accented with
maple cabinetry and specialty lighting, with plenty of outside
decking with sunset views.
A climate-controlled room surrounded by glass walls is one of the
tasting room’s most interesting features, with bottles stored there
until they are opened for visitors.
“Jack likes to do things well and he has to know all the details,”
said West, the operations manager.Guests can sample the wines from the tasting menu for $5 per
person, and that includes artisan cheese pairings with cheeses
provided by local gourmet cheese shop Vivant.
Jada Vineyard & Winery is located at 5620 Vineyard Drive, off
Highway 46 West. The tasting room is open Thursdays from noon
to 5 p.m. and Friday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
features wireless internet access. Call (805) 226-4200 to schedule a
tour of the wine making facility or for a VIP tasting. You can also
visit the winery’s website at www.jadavineyard.com.

Santa Ynez Inn: Santa Barbara County’sPremier Wine Country Destinationby Mark Storer
When the Santa Ynez Inn opened its doors
in October of 2001, it was with the purpose
of providing a luxurious Victorian Inn experi-
ence right in the heart of Santa Barbara
County’s Wine Country. That mission has
been accomplished and with the recent addi-
tion of six new rooms, the Inn is making its
mark in the quiet rolling hills of Santa Ynez.
“Our rooms are between 500 and 750
square feet each,” says General Manager Rick
Segovia. “All of them have antique furnish-
ings and they’re all unique.” That might be a
bit of an understatement. Consider the heated
tile floors for the steam showers, the fire-
places and balcony or patio in each room or
the Whirlpool tubs with separate showers.
The Santa Ynez Inn is all about luxuriating in
the quiet of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Located right off of Highway 246, near
Solvang and Los Olivos, the Inn’s gardens and
the Victorian-era building itself are an inviting
oasis here where customer service is key. “We
feature getaway golf packages and romance
packages,” says Segovia, “but we also offer
mid-week package specials.”
With plenty of space for banquets and
weddings, the Inn has become a destination
spot as well. Segovia and his staff provide a
full on-site catering kitchen and the Inn’s chef
will create the menu and do the cooking. The
lawn and gardens provide a spacious, beau-
tiful and secluded setting for special events
and the staff can even assist with decorations,
flowers and other needs.
The Inn also provides connections, reser-
vations and suggestions for the many activi-
ties available in the area. From glider ri
above the vineyards to horseback riding ri
through them and from bird-watching
world-class golf, the staff of the Inn will se
it that you’re given the chance to do m
than taste wine, though they can arrange th
too.
A complete spa featuring massage
fitness center and even aromatherapy sessi
completes what is the ultimate Wine Coun
getaway in Santa Barbara County.

L
ongtime friends Craig Shannon and
Marco Rizzo shared many meals filled
with conversations of one day making
wine together. Craig, a third-generation vine-
yard manager had mastered the art of
growing grapes and knew it would translate
into crafting a superior product. Marco,
owner of Café Roma, knew it would be a
successful partnership and a perfect fit for
the restaurant. They both agreed on the
fundamental idea of pairing the best possible
fruit with solid winemaking in order to
produce wines of distinction. Marco’s child-
hood of reading comic books in Italy gave
him an idea for the label. Perbacco is anorthern Italian phrase used to describe an
unexpected surprise but it literally means
“for Bacchus,” god of the vine.
Craig was fishing in Mexico when Marco
called with surprising news. Opportunity
had struck when an older Chardonnay vine-
yard in Edna Valley came up for lease. They
jumped at the chance to farm it and before
they knew it their Chardonnay received 90
points. They specialized in Chardonnay and
Sangiovese but they soon looked for another
red varietal. In 2002, they decided to try a
relatively unpopular red grape to fit their
growing line of wines. At the time, Pinot Noirwas something that not a lot of people
wanted to touch. However, with their first
vintage Per Bacco beat out 350 other wineries
San Francisco’s Pinot Noir Shootout and
scored 91 points from Wine Enthusiast. Two
years later the “Sideways” phenomenon
occurred and the rest is history.
With Craig’s farming background and ties
to the land, Per Bacco’s location on the
historic Filiponni Ranch in San Luis Obispo
is a perfect fit. Visiting the tasting ro
which is located inside the winery, can tr
demystify the winemaking process as wel
provide the best tasting room experienc
the area. Their goal is to provide a uniq
and educational tasting experience w
escaping from the hustle and bustle o
larger winery. While the wines are super
you will not find fancy window dressing
impress the crowds; instead, they leave t
up to the wine. At certain times of the y
you can taste their award-winning P
Grigio out of the tank along with an infor
tour of the winery.
Currently, Per Bacco Cellars produPinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sy
Petite Sirah and a late harvest Zinfandel P
The Dionysus Pinot Noir is a Barrel Sel
Reserve and has consistently rated
highest of their wines.
Per Bacco Cellars is located at 1850 C
Joaquin Road in San Luis Obispo. They
open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For m
information, call (805) 787-0485 or visit

Santa Maria was once known as Central City, California. The agricultural
giant of the Central Coast was indeed the middle spot, a kind of halfway stop
between Los Angeles and San Francisco. But it wasn’t just broccoli and orange
trees that grew here. The Santa Maria bench is home to some of the great vine-yards of California and renowned winemakers from all over the state buy fruit
from this region.
It’s no wonder then that one of the best eating spots in town is located out
near the Santa Maria Airport at the Radisson Hotel. The Vintner’s Grill is the
local hot spot for great wine and food as well as the restaurant to experience
true Central Coast hospitality.
“We’ve made a lot of changes to the menu and kept it alive,” says Manager
Jesse Jaime. “We still feature the great Santa Maria meat and potatoes like
braised shortribs and herb crusted prime rib, but we’ve also got an extensive
fresh seafood list as well.” With fresh tilapia, salmon, shrimp, scallops an
side of the Chef Jorge Santizio’s cheddar grits, the menu is anything but
same old.
Jaime has also added to the wine list with wines from around Californiawell as an extensive local selection. “I wanted to be sure that we had wines
the menu that expanded our tastes, not limit them,” he says. “So, I was a
to get some Napa and Sonoma selections on there as well as a few others.
Jaime says that the Vintner’s Grill gets a lot of business travelers from b
L.A. and San Francisco. “They come here and meet, it’s kind of like
common halfway point for them and we’re proud to be at the center of th
The Vintner’s grill keeps an eye toward the California casual style. “We’ve

“That’s always the first question I get asked.”
We were talking with Claiborne (Clay) Thompson, who with his
wife Fredericka Churchill owns Claiborne & Churchill, a small ultra-
premium winery in the Edna Valley, just outside San Luis Obispo.Twenty-seven years ago the Thompsons left their former careers in
college teaching behind in Michigan when they moved to California
to chase their dream in the wine business.
“Whenever people hear my story,” said Clay, “they always ask
me: ‘Don’t you miss teaching?’ At first I tried explaining what I
didn’t miss about academics (teacher burn-out, politics, bureau-
cracy, etc.), but as time went on I realized that I had actually
never given up teaching.”
Clay went on to explain that mentoring young people is
common practice among California wineries, and over the last
quarter-century a lot of “students” have passed through the
“classroom” at Claiborne & Churchill. “And what’s more,” he
continued, “a lot of the kids I’ve taught have gone on to learn
more than I can teach, just as ideally happens in the academic
classroom.” More than once a young employee of Clay and Fred-
ericka’s has grown up and left Claiborne & Churchill to take on
bigger challenges and more responsibilities.
Clay cited as an example Nathan Carlson, now Director of
Winemaking for Sapphire Wine Estates. Nathan came to Clai-
borne & Churchill as a virtual “rookie” in 1999 and was soon
made Assistant Winemaker. In 2004, he left to become the wine-
maker at an Oregon winery, moved back a year later to become
co-winemaker at Courtside Cellars, and then assumed his presentposition earlier this year. “I love it when my ‘students’ get smarter
than me,” says Clay, “to me it means I’ve done my job.”
Clay’s second full-time employee, Michelle Cove, joined Clai-
borne & Churchill as a new Cal Poly grad in 2002. She went from
Tasting Room Manager to General Manager in a few short yea
She is now a Regional Sales Manager for a prestigious natio
wine marketing company. “Fredericka and I just about teared
when she came to tell us she was leaving, but we all knew it w
time for her to broaden her horizons.”
Many of Claiborne & Churchill’s “alumni” began as stud
interns or part-timers, who then went on to fill important p
tions in the wine industry. Mike Sinor, former winemaker
Byron and Domaine Alfred and now Ancient Peaks, worked
Clay as a young Cal Poly student, and his wife Cheri (with whhe owns Sinor-LaVallee wines) worked in the Claiborne
Churchill tasting room. “Mike remembers well the hard man
labor that went into Claiborne & Churchill wines, before we h
the luxury of such mechanized things as a forklift,” chuck

Clay with Winemaker Coby Parker-Garcia
Clay. Other part-timers Clay remembers include Chris Weir, who
with his wife Malei now owns his own PR and marketing firm
(“Mooncatcher”), Erina Marchini, now a marketing analyst for
Nielsen Co., Derinda Gates, at present the financial accountant at
Vina Robles winery, and Chris Eberle, now winemaker at Eberle
Winery (no relation!). We asked Clay about his present staff, which includes three full-
timers and nine part-timers ranging in age from the early 20s to the
mid-seventies. His winemaker is Coby Parker-Garcia, who began as a
student intern in 2002, came on board full time in 2004, and was
promoted to winemaker in 2007. Sales, marketing and hospitality is
the province of Angela Gloeckler, who started as Claiborne &
Churchill’s Tasting Room Manager in 2005. Most recently, new Cal
Poly grad Brook Thompson was hired as Wine Club Manager.
Indeed, there seems to be an unusual “esprit du corps” and
camaraderie at Claiborne & Churchill, with frequent staff
potlucks, wine outings and other get-togethers. In 2005, the
Thompsons took their whole staff to Hawaii for a week, to cele-brate signing up the 1000th member of their wine club. “They are
the world’s greatest employees, without a doubt,” says Clay, “and
they make it fun to come to work every day. I’m hoping they all
stay here forever, but just to be sure I intend to outfit each of
them with a ball-and-chain, and throw away the key.”
To see some of the “world’s greatest employees” for yourself, visit
the Claiborne & Churchill Vintners Tasting Room at 2649 Carpenter
Canyon Road (Hwy. 227) in San Luis Obispo. The tasting room is
open daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (805) 544-

Curiosity launched Stuart Selkirk’s wine-
making career. That, and an instinctive
appreciation for hard work and pursuing a
craft with centuries of tradition.
Selkirk is the winemaker for Cayucos Cellars, a
quintessential family-run winery that produces
about 800 cases each year.
Its roots can be traced to a day in the early
1980s, when Selkirk decided to find out what one
of his neighbors was doing with a truck-load of
grapes. It wasn’t long before the Cayucos native was
cranking the handle of a traditional grape crusher.
Then came punching down the fermenting grapes
and, later, helping transport the finished wine from
vat to cellar via bucket brigade.
This was the art of family winemaking and
Selkirk was hooked. A general contractor, Selkirk began making wine
as a hobby. Finally, however, he realized he was
producing more than he could give away and
Cayucos Cellars was born in 1996.
Self-taught, Selkirk said he’s learned a lot from
other wine makers. Still, he tends to follow his own
instincts as a winemaker.

by Mark Storer
Francesco Grande was harvesting olives
when we spoke by phone recently. The
owner and winemaker of Falcon Nest
Winery in Paso Robles was in a grand mood
indeed as he spoke about the new banquet
room and tasting facility at the winery.“It’s about 1300 square feet,” he says, his
Italian accent rich with laughter and happi-
ness. “It’s still kind of small, intimate and it
has a great view.” One could say it has a
“grande view” and that is certainly true.
Falcon Nest Winery is located on Union Road
in Paso Robles on the east side of the town.
The view is over the opulent 55 and a half
acres planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite
Verdot, Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah.
The tasting room and the new banquetfacility add-on are what Grande calls
“simple spaces.” The walls are white and
there are earth tones in the shelves as well as
simple black shelves. The floor is tile and
there are windows all around. After all, why
detract from the view? From the tasting
room, customers look out on all of Falcon
Nest’s vineyards. “I’ve still got 100 acres I
want to plant. But, I’ll do it slowly, over
time,” says Grande.
While it’s true that Falcon Nest is relatively
new, winemaking has been in the Grande
family for literally centuries. “We can trace
back our ancestry 200 years to the Grand
Duke of Tuscany,” says Grande. “My daughter
did some research and we found that out five
years ago.” Apparently, the Grande clan was
making wine and food even then. “My soul isin it,” Grande says. But it wasn’t always that
way.
When Grande was a young man living in
Italy, the last thing he wanted to do was tie
himself down to one spot and work. “I
wanted to see and do the world,” he says.
Entering into the hotel business, Grande got
his wish. “I traveled all over and worked in
wonderful places.” 34 years ago, however, he
came to the United States and when he got
established, he opened a couple of restaurantsin California. “We had one in Santa Monica,
one in Fairfax and one in Simi Valley,” says
Grande.
The whole Grande family is involved in
Falcon Nest, of course. Grande’s wife Carol
works right alongside him at the winery and
his two sons, though living in San Fran-
cisco, design the labels, the foil-caps and
stay involved with their family while
Grande’s daughter digs into the family
history among other things.
It wasn’t until the last few years that
Grandes made the move to the winemak
life in Paso Robles and opened Falcon N
Restaurants, though, are still in his blo
“We plan to open one here at the winery
day,” says Grande. Until then, Grand
growing and curing his own olives and breads, olives, olive oil, meats and che
from the tasting room. “We want you to co
up and enjoy your time here. Taste so
wine, have some food, relax and live
Italian lifestyle for a while,” Grande says.
Perhaps it is no wonder then that
winery is called Falcon Nest. Falcons afte
are family oriented birds. They care for t
young a very long time and they provid
home for their families in places where t
may or may not have been born. So it is tthat with an eye toward true hospitality w
producing about 5,000 cases of hand-cra
wines per year, the Grandes have broug
little bit of Italy with them to the Cen
Coast and opened their hearth and hom
their customers right here.

at 5185 Union road in Paso Robles. For m

Eberle Winery Donates $1 of all Rosé Wine Sales inOctober to the National Breast Cancer Foundation
In an effort to support National Breast Cancer Aware-
ness Month, Eberle Winery is donating $1 of all SyrahRosé wine sales in October to the National Breast Cancer
Foundation, Inc. “Rosé is the perfect wine for fall,” says
winery owner Gary Eberle. “It’s great with turkey and
traditional holiday meals. But what I love about teaming
up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation is the
idea that we can actually make a difference in people’s
lives, one bottle at a time.”
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women
in the United States and is the second leading cause of
cancer death in women after lung cancer. According to
the American Cancer Society, it’s estimated that about
178,480 women in the United States were found to have
invasive breast cancer in 2007. About 40,460 women
will die from the disease this year. Eberle hopes to raise
money to go toward research to find a cure.
Gary Eberle has a long list of credits to his career. In
1980, he co-founded the Paso Robles appellation and
later became a founding member of the Paso Robles
Vintners and Growers Association. He is also credited as
the first U.S. winemaker to produce a 100% Syrah a
remains one of the highest award-winning Califor
winemakers for his favorite wine, Cabernet Sauvign
Even the White House knows Eberle wine. Presid
Ronald Reagan chose Eberle Cabernet to take on
historic trip to China in 1985. And in 2003, Gover
Arnold Schwarzenegger served Eberle wine when Pr
dent George W. Bush visited California.
Eberle was the first to create underground caves

With its spectacular sculpture gardens featuring larger-than
bronze and granite works that include a prancing horse an
prowling feline, the Sculpterra Winery Tasting Room quickly grab
attention in the Paso Robles wine region.
“We wanted to bring something new to the area by combin
outdoor art and the vineyard,” said Paul Frankel, the assistant w
maker and son of owner Dr. Warren Frankel.
Although the winery is only a year old, the Frankel family
owned the gorgeous 90-acre ranch in the Linne Valley east of P
Robles for nearly 30 years. A pistachio orchard was planted beforevineyards, and bowls of the estate-grown nuts are on the tas
room’s attractive stained concrete bar.
The warmly-decorated tasting room, featuring a number of min
ture sculptures that are each for sale, was once a welding shop its
African mahogany double doors provide access to the barrel ro
while there is plenty of wood and stone throughout the room. La
windows provide glimpses of an outdoor picnic area, which inclu
a 10-ton granite sculpture of a stalking cat.
While the sculpture gardens are worthy of a visit by themsel
Sculpterra’s wines are also turning heads.
Cabernet Sauvignon is its flagship varietal, said the youn
Frankel, with both the 2005 and 2006 vintages capturing gmedals. Besides the Cabernet Sauvignon, the estate vineyards incl
plantings of Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Mouvedre, Pe
Sirah and Viognier.
Winemaker Shannon O’Neill has also crafted a pair of aw
winning red blends, “Statuesque” and “Maquette,” a French w
which translated means “little statue.”
The Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden is at 5125 Li

Tickets are $100 and can be purchased by phone at (805) 782-0500.
Tolosa Winery commissioned six local artists to participate in this
inaugural fund raiser event, Barrels R Art. “Our mission is to provide
a platform for local artists to apply their talent and showcase their
creative synergies to another great art form: the creation of wine,” said
Bob Schiebelhut principal at Tolosa. Each artist was given a 60 gallonbarrel to transform into their unique work of art. Each barrel will be a
one of a kind original.
The barrels will be on display in the Tolosa Tasting Room
through November. An auction
will be held at the gala dinner
with legendary auctioneer
Archie McClaren as Master of
Ceremonies. Guests will have a
chance to min gle with the
artists and bid on the individual
art barrels. TEACh* Founda-
tion (The Endowment for the
Advancement of Children) was
chosen as the beneficiary for the
evening’s proceeds. The timing
for t hi s fu ndi ng f or l oc al
schools couldn’t be more fortu-
itous with the recent state wide
bud get cuts. The TEACh *
Foundation goal is to build a
permanent endowment that
will directly be distributed to
the San Luis Coastal UnifiedSchool District – the funds
support all schools grades K-12
in San Luis Coastal Unified.
“Th e mon ey raised will go
d irectly to the classro om,
allowing students to participate
in programs that they may not
normally be able to receive,”
Maria Slavin, TEACh Founda-
tio n President, said. “Ou r
mission statement is, a quality education is a lifetime gift. W
hope the endowment will continue to grow even after we are
long gone,” commented Ms. Slavin.
Ticket price is $100 per person, all inclusive and may be purcha
at Tolosa Winery or at www.tolosawinery.com. Tolosa Winery
located at 4910 Edna Road in San Luis Obispo. The tasting room
open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact Tami Carija or Ka

Eric Mosheni was recently named winemaker for Zaca Mesa
Winery. Mohseni joined Zaca Mesa Winery nearly eight years ago as
Enologist, and subsequently was promoted to Assistant Winemaker
and Associate Winemaker. “We are delighted to see Eric develop into
a winemaker able to carry on Zaca Mesa’s style and quality focus and
be able to take them to new heights,” said Brook Williams, president,
Zaca Mesa Winery.
During his tenure at Zaca Mesa, Mohseni has helped fine-tune and
elevate the wine quality, proposed the necessary changes for vineyard
development, refined the winery’s style, changed cellar operations and
experimented with barrel types. The result was creative Rhône vari-
eties and blends that reflected a sense of place and the unique charac-
teristic of Zaca Mesa Winery.
Raised in Los Angeles, Mohseni is a graduate of California State
University at Long Beach with a degree in food science and a minor in
chemistry. “The wine bug first bit me in 1997 while working theharvest at Edna Valley Vineyard. I will never forget the aromas from
barreling down Bien Nacido Pinot Noir into a new oak barrel … it
gave me goose bumps.” Mohseni
furthered his winemaking knowledge
in 1999 by traveling to Hawke’s Bay,
New Zealand, to serve as a member of
the harvest crew of Esk Valley Estate,
the country’s fifth largest vineyard.
Zaca Mesa Winery, located in the
Santa Ynez Valley of Santa Barbara
County, California, is dedicated to
estate grown and bottled Rhône vari-
etal wines. Zaca Mesa has been
growing grapes on their land since
1973. Today, they hand craft wines
with character and integrity from grapes sustainably grown in t
vineyard. For more information about Zaca Mesa Winery call (8
688-9339, fax (805) 688-8796, or visit www.zacamesa.com. ZMesa Winery is located at 6905 Foxen Canyon Rd., Los Olivos,
93441.
