It's been a week...let's go to Paso again!!

Yep we went again...only a week later! This time we went with Kevin and Jackie, who were getting ready to move and had never been! Our other friends Paige and Greg went with us as well.

Stop #1: Eberle

Great place. We've been here numerous times before! It's got great wines and a great military discount (40%!!!!!) One time we went and they were grilling tri-tip, ribs, and duck sausage but every time we went back they never had it...until this time!!! This meat is amazing. The duck sausage is a little spicy. The tri-tip is cooked perfectly. I haven't had the ribs but they also look really good. The bigger guy in the tye-dyed shirt is Gary Eberle, the owner of the winery. He was out there cooking and grilling throughout the day. 

Every year for the harvest season Eberle comes up with a theme...this year was Spongebob... so here's their truck that goes through vineyards to load the collected grapes on:

 Stop #2: Twilight Cellars (previously known as Thunderbolt Winery)

Mike and I have been here before as well. Their wines are amazing, and they pair their tasting with appetizers! So you got little bites of food with every glass you taste.

A shot of our group:

 It was actually the Harvest Festival weekend in Paso. Twilight was letting you bottle your own wine from a barrel. So of course we did that! What fun... We got to fill it up from the barrel and put it into the wine bottles...

Then we had to put the cork in it

 We had lunch at the Odyssey World Cafe, great stop! None of us had been here before so it was a good choice and the food was amazing. I had lamb gyro and Mike had a lamb burger. I highly recommend this little cafe as an eatery. It's on the main square in downtown Paso.

 Stop #3: Sculpterra

Neat place, sculptures all over the place, very neat sculptures. But their wines...not impressive. They also have pistachio trees on their property and had those as snacks in the tasting room, and those, those were very good.

A little bit more of the harvesting at work

 Stop #4: Cass Winery

Pet friendly. 15% military discount. Great wines. Friendly staff. They also have a lunch cafe that had what looked like a really good menu. Might have to go back and try that someday, with Sunset of course!
