As I’m attending the Paso Robles Wine Country 2010 Grand Tasting Tour today, I thought it would be appropriate to mention a Paso Wine, even if it’s not one of my favorites (though I liked it).

The name is cool, isn’t it.  The people that buy because of the name will not be disappointed.  It’s a good, reliable wine and is $10.99 at Costco.  My dad likes it too.  I believe it used to be $12.99.
