The tasting room was busy and even while standing at the bar with an empty glass required multiple actions to try the next wine. I don't remember much of the wine since it was such an effort to try the wines. We were not a comped tasting or with a group. http://www.ninerwine.com/https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/img_8682.jpgBooker Wines Tasting RoomBooker is appointment only and only on the weekends. We tried 4 wines as part of the tasting: a white, 2 reds and a sweet. One of the different things that Booker had two versions of the same wine, Remnant and Remnant 24. The 24 was aged for 24 months in French oak but was the same wine as the Remnant. http://www.bookerwines.com/https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/fullsizerender.jpgBooker WinesOur third stop of the day had us at our second and last appointment. We had been to the area of Booker before as our last trip we visited Caliza their neighbor. http://www.bookerwines.com/https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8647.jpgIMG_8647https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8646.jpgStarting the day off right!Coffee and a Map... https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8658.jpgFall Colors on the Vines 1On the drive from Sextant to Linne Calodo, we passed through an amazing area of the fall leaves changing on the vines that had just been harvestedhttps://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8653.jpgSextant - Enjoying a taste outsideSextant also has some great picnic tables out and around the tasting room. http://www.sextantwines.com/ https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8661.jpgLinne Calodo Tasting for TwoLoved the bar in the tasting room and all the glasses lined up with the samples poured for the comparison tasting and opening! http://www.linnecalodo.com/https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8659.jpgFall Colors on the Vines 2Vineyards in Fall 2014, love the color changehttps://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/img_8676.jpgIMG_86762015-04-28T00:30:59+00:00monthlyhttps://sunsetsandwine.com/2014/10/26/paso-robles-ccjta/2015-03-08T16:25:06+00:00monthlyhttps://sunsetsandwine.com/2014/11/30/fall-lompoc-trip/2015-03-01T16:17:50+00:00monthlyhttps://sunsetsandwine.com/2014/11/04/newport-beach-wine-and-food-festival/https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/img_0028_2.jpgRosé and FlowersSome of the beautiful flowers and a slight bit of rosé to enjoy!https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/deliarose.jpgDelia RoséNothing wrong with a little rosé on a Sunday!https://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/wineflightbottles.jpgWine featured on the panelWines included : Sauvignon Blanc vs Sancerre, Pinot Noir vs Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon vs Bordeauxhttps://sunsetsandwine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/tudor.jpgTudor Pinot NoirMy favorite varietal from by favorite US terrior...
