We love visiting Cambria and Paso Robles we our friends Jill, Rob, Pam, and Brent. This time we were very bummed that Brent couldn't make it, but the rest of us enjoyed relaxing in Cambria and wine tasting in Paso with JZ. Our dogs Cleo, Duncan, and Clyde come along too, although Clyde passed away a couple of months ago. Rest in Peace Clyde!
A couple of weekends ago Sean and I went down toCambria with a few friends for the weekend. Cambria is a small coastal community located about 3.5 hours south of San Francisco. We took "the long way" to Cambria, and drove down Highway 1 to enjoy the views of the Pacific Coast. Along the way we stopped in Big Sur at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park for a quick walk, and again at a beach just north of Hearst Castleto check out the elephant seals.
On top of the wonderfully relaxing beach house the six of us stayed at just a few blocks from the beach, we went wine tasting in Paso Robles as well. If you are interested, here are a few of the wines we bought after tasting at each winery:
2006 Estate Grenache-Counoise Rosé, Clautiere Vineyard | 2006 Syrah, Penman Springs Vineyard | 2005 Jack of Hearts, Jada
We also stopped at Pasolivo and tasted some olive oil - yummy! Who knew tangerine and lime olive oil could taste so good?
Love, Eileen
P.S. - Sorry for the long gaps between posts. Too many blogs, too little time. ;)
