P.S.

To all our loyal Rib Line customers,

The Rib Line was started back in 1988 by local legend Larry Kowalski. 23 years later, my wife Krystal and I reopened the little Santa Maria Style BBQ restaurant with the dream of being able to raise our family on the beautiful Central Coast, an area I fell in love with while graduating from Cal Poly SLO. It’s been three years of hard work trying to get our name back on the map and we couldn’t have done it without the support from all of you.We are lucky enough now to have two locations, the original in SLO and the new location in Grover Beach. We cater anywhere in the Central Coast and offer Free Delivery to SLO, Avila, and all 5 Cities. I’m proud to say we are “Living our Dream” thanks to all the loyal locals we serve, deliver to, and cater special events for. We invite all of you to come visit one of our restaurants or call for free delivery. Sincerely,Brian Appiano & Family

We love feedback from our customers as we are always trying to improve our service and your experience with us. Email us at [email protected]

Kenneth Volk

Santa Maria ValleyPaso Robles

58

There are few wineries in the world that produce as broad a range of wine varieties as can Kenneth

Volk Vineyards. Where else can one enjoy wines made from Aglianico, Albarino, Blaufränkisch, Touriga Nacional, Negrette, Cabernet Pfeffer, Torrontes, Malvasia Bianca, Verdelho, old vine Mourvédre, Zinfandel, top-shelf Burgundy and Bordeaux grape varieties, and more at one winery? “We may not be the best at what we do but we are certainly the only ones who do what we do,” owner and director of winemaking, Ken Volk, said candidly. “I love the diversity of wine and with over 3,000 varieties of wine grapes it seems silly that the American marketplace is dominated by only a handful of them. I really enjoy introducing people to new grape varieties and fl avors.” After 33 vintages of making wine on the Central Coast, Ken has watched the region grow from obscurity to becoming a major player in the global fi ne wine market. Starting with Wild Horse in Paso Robles, which he sold to establish Kenneth Volk Vineyards, Ken has always sought out top vineyards in the fi nest regions for each grape variety he produces. Hardly surprising, Ken couldn’t imagine trying to make all of his wines from a single appellation. Kenneth Volk Vineyards (KVV) is based in the Santa Maria Valley where it grows winegrapes in its estate vineyard. Ken also leases and farms the Enz Vineyard in the Lime Kiln Valley appellation, and custom-farmed acreage at the Pomar Junction Vineyard in Paso Robles. Additionally, Ken purchases fruit from some of the fi nest vineyards throughout the Central Coast’s renowned wine

growing regions. Recently, they bottled the fi rst Albarino to be grown and produced in the Santa Maria Valley. Grown at Riverbench Vineyard, this Albarino comes from a neighboring vineyard across the river from KVV. A delicious, aromatic white grape, Albarino was originally grown in the Galicia region of northwestern Spain. Among KVV’s newest wine releases are the 2009 single-vineyard Pinot Noirs from the Bien Nacido, Sierra Madre, and Garey Ranch Vineyards of the Santa Maria Valley, and the Enz Vineyard of Lime Kiln Valley. “The 2009 vintage was a great one for Pinot Noir and each of these wines displays the unique fl avors and aromas of these distinguished properties,” Ken noted. KVV features a scenic winery and tasting room in Tepusquet Canyon, and has a second Kenneth Volk satellite tasting room in Paso Robles on Highway 46 West. Visitors to the Paso Robles

tasting room can enjoy the wines of both Kenneth Volk Vineyards and Lone Madrone in this beautiful, rustic garden setting. The friendly staff and intriguing wines made at Kenneth Volk makes visiting one of its tasting rooms an entirely enjoyable experience for sampling both mainstream and heirloom grape varieties.

In addition to its tasting rooms, KVV offers the Cellar Door Club: the only web-based, interactive wine club that allows members to select the wines that they want to receive versus a mandatory prefi x of wines. Regardless of whether it’s in the vineyard, the cellar or online, KVV has always been innovative in the tradition of fi ne winemaking.

Opolo Vineyards

Paso Robles

Discovering Opolo Vineyards is to uncover a place where the passion to create an

unforgettable experience and o� er outstanding customer service is equally important as crafting wines that continually sell out and are now being savored by thousands of wine lovers all over the United States.

� e team at Opolo Vineyards – the name is from a sassy rose made on the Dalmatian Coast, a nod to co-owner Rick Quinn’s Serbian heritage – are warm, passionate and down-to-earth. � ey strive to “take the snobiness” out of wine tasting. Intimidation is unheard of and the tasting room feels a bit like home.

On the weekends, the barbeque is going full-tilt, cranking out Opolo’s famous Cevapcici, a special Yugoslav sausage or Pizzas from the wood � re pizza oven, made from scratch; all paired with their fabulous wines. Hospitality is key here, and everyone thoroughly enjoys a good time.

On a hilltop that commands a striking view of the surrounding hills, a huge tent is erected each fall for the Harvest Festival. It’s an unforgettable event. � e air is � lled with the succulent aroma of whole roasted lamb, taste buds come alive to the nuances of Opolo wines, and the adventurous take o� their shoes, roll up their pant legs and have a go at crushing grapes “I Love Lucy” style.

The dedication to customer service at Opolo

Vineyards is equally reflected in their wines.

Nearly all of Opolo wines are estate vintages, meaning that they are vinted from grapes grown by the winery. The central operation comprises 98 rolling Westside acres in as idyllic a setting as the beautiful Paso Robles area offers. The climate here owes a great debt to the nearby Pacific Ocean. The cooling effect of the marine layer accounts for temperature swings – the diurnal range – that can be as great as 50 degrees from afternoon highs to morning lows. The sudden drop in temperature at night preserves the balance of natural acids in the grape. The result is well balanced, appealing wines.

Generally about 10 degrees warmer than the Westside vineyards, Opolo also grows wine grapes on 200 East side acres in Paso. � e contrast in climate and soil between their East side and West side vineyards enables Opolo to produce 30 di� erent wines, growing each variety of grapes within the environment it desires. With varieties from each vineyard in Paso Robles they are provided grapes that exhibit the � nest characteristics of the terroir in which they’re grown.

Opolo Vineyards features an exceptional lineup of single varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon,

Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and many others, as well as stellar signature blends.

The restaurant and wine guide to the Central Coast

hile the Central Coast doesn’t have many trees with leaves that change according

to the season, you can tell autumn is here by what lands on local plates. Harvest is

happening, and local restaurants, tasting rooms, and other food and wine establishments

are excited to share it with you. The look, the smell, the taste—it’s all about that delicious

time between summer and winter. Find out what’s making its way to area kitchens from

farms and fields; from vineyards and orchards; from land, sea, and air in this, our Fall Menus.

From grill and chill to wine and dine, it’s Rib Line time. Whether you’re craving tender baby back ribs in award-winning

barbecue sauce with an ice cold draft, or fine wine paired with oak-grilled New York steak and wild salmon, you’ll always leave happily sated after visiting the most popular BBQ restaurant on the Central Coast.

Family owned and operated, Brian and Krystal Appiano always think of their loyal patrons first when creating their delicious menu of housemade foods at the Rib Line. In fact, you’ll often find Brian at one of the restaurants and Krystal is usually there, too. Their daughter Aubrey and son Austin tag along to enjoy their parents seriously good barbecue. No surprise there, once you’ve experienced Chef Brian’s soulful Angus steaks and tri-tip, baby back pork ribs, wild salmon, and chicken, you’ll be craving more, too.

Before you reach the front door, you’re greeted with the delicious aromas of barbecued meats grilled over flaming red oak (no cheap briquettes here!). From the delectable barbecue sauce and salsa, to the triple threat chili and the humungous Brahma Bull sandwich—three-lbs. of tri-tip, one loaf of garlic bread, and one-pint of salsa or barbecue sauce, it was made famous by the Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation, their foods have earned awards for the quality of their ingredients.

Addictive starters include the award-winning triple threat tri-tip chili (no beans) over fries, and Firestone DB ale-battered beach balls. The latter Chef Brian’s latest sensation locals crave. These hand-rolled treats are made of mashed sweet potatoes mixed with applewood-smoked bacon

(bacon is featured in many foods), jalapeno, and cheddar cheese, then deep-fried, injected with ranch dressing, and drizzled with red wine glaze—they’re decadent! Nearly everything on the menu is barbecued, from the smoked chicken sandos and black and blue salad to the pulled pork, Angus burgers, Angus beef tri-tip and the chicken.

But the Appiano’s go well beyond great BBQ. The clam chowder and fish and chips keep fish lovers returning for more. A generous array of choices include: classic sandos; Poly pack/beach box for two with multiple choices in meats, pinto beans, coleslaw, baked potatoes, and sweet mini-loaves of cornbread; and family meals for four to six people. Generously-portioned desserts include “the legend,” aka turtle cheesecake.

Their BBQ clientele grew dramatically after they became the first SLO County restaurant featured on the Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation. Now this world famous BBQ place isn’t just a favorite at the SLO Farmers’ Market and private parties. Brides and grooms prefer their excellent baby back ribs and more for their wedding celebrations. Call Krystal and she’ll personally help you perfect your menu and catering needs.

The Appiano’s never forget their loyal patrons. That’s why they offer a happy hour special every day from 3 to 6 p.m. with favorites like K.I.S.S., the classic pulled pork sando for only $5 with the purchase of any drink. Daily lunch specials come with your choice of fries, coleslaw, beans,

potato, or pasta salad. At Rib Line they always ask, “How hungry are you?” You’ll always dine well here.

On the Central Coast many of our best restaurants are found in our best hotels. That’s where you’ll find

professionally trained chefs actually in the kitchen making creative, delicious dishes that are sure to have you returning for more. In fact, that’s what makes Indulge Restaurant at The Oaks Hotel so special. Executive chef Cheryl Tsui is usually cooking your dinner personally, when she’s not working on new dishes for her evolving menus featuring seasonal ingredients.

The dinner menu is regularly updated with delicious treats for guests who want a unique experience each visit. Yet her mainstay dishes, New York strip with black pepper sauce, double-cut pork chop with béarnaise, and roasted half-chicken with red wine reduction, are favorites of regulars who repeatedly return for another taste. The menu features a selection of signature side dishes that include mac and cheese, pommes frites, Firestone DBA-battered mushrooms, and sweet potato fries, and other intriguing choices. Nearly everything on the menu is housemade, focused on peak of the season ingredients. The chef always features a nightly special-of-the-day.

Among chef Cheryl’s beautiful and creative specials is the halibut cheeks paired with Asian slaw, candied mangoes, and quinoa dressed with a ginger vinaigrette. At dinner’s end guests can’t resist the perfect sweet conclusion to the meal in choices that may include her bread pudding, crème brûlée, or cold s’mores.

Originally from Pasadena, chef Cheryl graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Pasadena in 2009. Her mom recalls her interest in cooking started when the precocious four-

year-old said she would cook dinner one night. She pulled a chair up to the stove, hopped atop it and fried one egg for her mother. By the age of 9 she developed a fondness for baking sweet treats. Mary and Philip Tsui, who own and operate The Oaks Hotel built in 2012, invited their daughter to create Indulge Restaurant in the spring of 2013.

Chef Cheryl respects the fact that most guests are visiting Paso Robles’ outstanding wine community and therefore doesn’t charge a corkage fee for bringing along your own bottle of wine. Every Friday and Saturday evening, complimentary wine tasting hosted by a local winemaker is served from 5 to 7 p.m. for all who would like to come in for wine tasting amongst guests of the hotel and Indulge Restaurant.

In The Oaks Hotel lobby next to Indulge, the full-service-bar offers cocktails, local wines, and local craft beers. Happy hour specials are served daily from 5 to 7 p.m. It’s a friendly place for dropping in when you’re thirsty for a refreshing draft, or you’re craving scrumptious appetizers with your Cosmopolitan martini or glass of Paso Robles' finest wines.

Chef Cheryl has rapidly earned fame for her creative, satisfying menus of fine foods among all foodies. Indulge Restaurant is open to all for breakfast buffet and dinner. Through the end of 2013, Indulge Restaurant is offering a 15-percent discount on meals for all. If you're in the mood to indulge in fine food, local wine and craft beer, and excellent service with a smile, treat yourself to

a one-of-a-kind dining experience dining at Indulge Restaurant.

When Thomas Hill Organics Bistro and Wine Lounge (THO) was created by restaurateur Debbie

Thomas, foremost in her plans was the goal of providing her guests a unique wine country dining experience. For Debbie that meant the cuisine would be made from the seasonal bounty available from local farms to your table. Debbie and executive chef Julie Simon are committed to serving the freshest produce from local organic and sustainable farms. Their outstanding cuisine is prepared in creative dishes that are sure to excite your palate.

Highly-regarded for their local wine selection, they focus on the famed artisan winemakers of Paso Robles. Debbie explained: “I love featuring the fine wines made by our local wineries. They all support me and I’m a firm believer in supporting them.” It’s not just the outstanding food and wine that has made THO so popular. The friendly, expert servers see to every guest’s needs, making it an unforgettable dining experience. That’s true whether you reserve a table to enjoy chef Julie’s multi-course gourmet dinners, or one of her irresistible hamburgers featuring PC Cattle from SLO, and fresh Hush Harbor breads.

The chef’s menus change frequently as everything is sourced locally including, grass-fed beef and lamb, humanely-raised rabbits, and wild, line-caught fish. Chef Julie, who was born in Paris, grew up sharing freshly-harvested foods and edifying discussions at the family table. Those memorable meals inspired her career as a chef. After relocating to Paso Robles in 2004, she earned apprenticeships with two local chefs, Pandee Pearson and

Meagen Loring. Julie remembered: “I feel so extremely fortunate and lucky to have worked with such great people who taught me to cook professionally. I couldn’t think of a better place to start my career as a chef than at THO. I want people dining here to say what a nice surprise it is to get something a little unexpected.”

Julie’s delightful menus express her creative side in the kitchen with dishes such as black lentil tacos with carrot puree, candied jalapenos, watermelon, cashews, and coconut, or miso-braised salmon collar with Asian greens and jasmine rice. Debbie considers Julie a perfect match for THO. “Julie is enthusiastic about seasonal, organic ingredients and has a natural creative ability for unique food pairings. She has nurtured strong relationships with local ranchers, farmers, and winemakers, which reflects the values she learned while growing up in France.”

Before relocating to Paso Robles, Debbie lived and worked in Los Angeles managing apparel company divisions. Her desire to get away from the hectic city life led her and her partner to establish an organic farm. The success of her CSA program motivated Debbie to open THO where she could showcase amazing produce grown by Paso Roble’s passionate agrarians.

In her desire to offer her guests even more, Debbie recently added a lovely lounge with a new entryway to THO on Park Street. The romantic room features a wine bar and tables for guests, creatively designed by chef Julie and restaurant manager Serena Harkey. Considered one of the finest restaurants by connoisseurs from

around the world, discover THO for the ultimate dining experience.

THE FACES OF MARISOL

You’ve probably seen it many times as you drive through Shell Beach on California State High-way 101, the beautiful, ocean-front Cliffs Resort hotel and its restaurant and bar Marisol. The Spanish name “Marisol” translates to "Sea” (mar) and “Sun” (sol) and what other name could be more fitting for this Central Coast hot spot? With panoramic views of the Pacific and the beautiful coastline that surrounds, at Marisol, the visual experience alone is enough to create a line of people that extends out the door, all who are waiting for a table. But there’s a whole-lot-more to enjoy about this place than just the appeal of what meets the eye. With a colorful team of professionals on staff, all contributing their unique talents, Marisol is not just a great place to eat. It’s an “experience” that pleases all of your senses.

All the dishes at Marisol are prepared with a soulful touch by Chef de Cuisine Gregg Wangard, an acclaimed culinarian and a Wisconson Milk Marketing Board Certified Cheese Master. Gregg introduced his own unique approach of preparing traditional farm-to-table style cuisine to the menu at Marisol. With produce from fields of local farmers, seafood fresh off the boats of local fishermen and naturally raised meat and poultry, Chef Gregg creates a dining experi-ence that’s uniquely representa-tive of the Central Coast.

Wine Director, Jeff Chaney works to keep Marisol stocked with up-and-coming wines, as well as the mouthwatering traditionalfavorities, but you’ll also find him

talking to guests, making recommendations and sharing stories about his passion...Local Wine. But don’t let his expertise intimidate you if you aren’t the wine connoisseur we all wish we were. “This is the Central Coast, not Napa,” Jeff points out. “This is what we do. We wake up, look for the best surf conditions the day has to offer, and afterward, when the winds turn onshore, we hit up a vineyard and taste new wines.”

Hannah Ingham, Pastry Chef at Marisol, or more commonly known as “the Muffin Goddess” is the newest addition to the Faces of Marisol. Her hand-made pastries are not only beautifully presented; they are made with the freshest local and seasonal ingredients available. And Hannah’s creations are not just delicious. They are a perfect reflection of who she is: sponta-neous, sweet and healthy.

You probably know David Kline, Maitre’ D and Social Director at Marisol, but if you don’t, you should. His ability to remember names is astonishing, so don’t be surprised if he greets you personally. He knows everything about what’s happening in the area and participates in just about every local activity. But be forewarned. If you run in to him at Marisol, he just might talk you in to joining him.

Open 7-days a week for break-fast, lunch and dinner, Marisol at The Cliffs Resort is a great place to go for an intimate dinner, a casual lunch, evening cocktails, happy hour appetizers or Sunday brunch.

If you’re looking for a great night out, SLO Brew has it all with their award-winning micro brews, upscale pub cuisine,

and world class concerts. No ordinary establishment will do in SLO town; locals prefer the experience they know they’ll always find at SLO Brew. Established in 1988, SLO Brew is celebrating their 25th year as one of California’s oldest micro-breweries. An experience for people of all ages, the synergy of hand-crafted beer, great food, and live music keeps clientele coming back for more.

In 2010, SLO Brew introduced executive chef Allison Watts and her signature dishes have raised the bar once again. Chef Allison brings an unwavering passion and flare to the kitchen. Restaurant dining has increased steadily with Allison’s commitment to high quality ingredients and beer-infused recipes, all reasonably priced. With weekly access to SLO’s famed farmers market, Allison hand-picks the produce from farmers (preferably those using sustainable practices) for all dishes including the very popular Peace and Love Hummus platter. But you can always count on SLO Brew to satisfy your more gratuitous desires with its heritage Brew Burger, the Rock Star (SLO Brew’s own buffalo chicken sandwich), or a specialty bacon wrapped corn dog. Allison has made the Brew’s unique menu rank among the best eateries in SLO.

Formerly, Allison worked for the acclaimed SLO chef Maegen Loring. She left to take-on her first job as executive chef at the brewery where she has excelled. Allison’s irresistible pub food immediately earned a following. Allison and sous chef Zachary Chrzaszcz are enjoying accolades over their creative and delicious dinner specials. General

manager Monte Schaller is always happy to recommend his favorite foods and the perfect beer to pair with them.

Master-brewer Steve Courier, with SLO Brew since 1996, earned them the award for Best Micro Brew in 2001 at the Great American Beer Festival along with a gold medal for SLO Brew’s famed IPA. Steve is ardent about perfecting his craft and has mastered dozens of brews including a seasonal selection featuring stouts, imperials, lagers, pilsners, and nitrogen-infused ales.

Steve encourages SLO Brew newcomers to try the beer flights featuring six 4-oz. samples including a seasonal selection. Steve’s award winning beers range from IPA, Honey Blonde, Pale Ale, Cali Wheat, to Irish Stout and Porter. For seasoned beer connoisseurs, Steve recommends the gold medal winning IPA.

SLO Brew’s first floor features a storied entertainment venue, which over the recent two years included performances by: Grammy winner Dr. John, Jimmy Eat World, English Beat, Jeff Bridges, Ryan Bingham, ADAM Ant, Dick Dale, and many more. Loved by locals and critics, New Times’ music columnist, Glen Starkey, writes high praise: “SLO Brew is relentless in bringing big city entertainment to our little town. Flat out, it’s the best live music venue this town has ever seen.”

Their latest news, they’re planning a large expansion in a move to Higuera Street next fall. They will also re-introduce their bottled beer line and keg distribution, formerlys sold throughout 40 states in the late 1990s. In celebration of their 25th Anniversary, a new Imperial

Reggae Red was created to celebrate one of their flagship brews, the popular Reggae Red.

In 1961, a tiny snack bar perched alongside the steep ocean cliffs in northern SLO County had gained

fame for the quality of its delicious hamburgers and milkshakes. Travelers from far and wide exited the highway for respite at an eatery where a large sign simply beckoned, “Eat.” The rustic Ragged Point Inn still maintains its reputation for excellence in food, as it has for its majestic, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Big Sur Mountain Range.

Ragged Point Inn was truly humble when Wiley and Mildred Ramey bought the 17-acre property five decades ago. First the Ramey’s built a small motel in which they lived and rented rooms. Their son Jim Ramey, who operates the resort, was only five-years-old at the time. Today, the beautiful Inn offers so much more. It’s favored for alfresco weddings, by car clubs, and touring companies. You couldn’t ask for a better choice along Highway 1 for comfortable accommodations and farm to table cuisine.

Last summer, Jim met chef Matthew Howell and was so inspired by the chef’s passion for food he hired him as their new executive chef. A graduate of the Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 2007, Matthew started cooking in restaurants when he was only 15-years-old. The Palm Desert native spent many years cooking in country clubs and upscale restaurants. Passion and experience made him the perfect choice for Ragged Point Inn for his expertise in fine dining.

The chef’s menus, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, feature modern continental dishes, some Asian and Latin flavors, and American comfort foods. He takes great pride in serving vegetables,

fruit, and herbs fresh from the estate farm that are tended by the chef and Matt Ramey who’s the third generation here. They’re also raising pigs on the ranch. Purchased foods come from the finest local farms and ranches, including Hearst Ranch grass-fed beef, and Tognazzini’s wild caught fish from Morro Bay.

Every dish that chef Matthew creates is housemade, including the delightful desserts. The menu features the chef’s five-course dinner perfectly paired with wines, or you can choose from small plates, lighter fare, or entrées. At dinner you’ll love the fresh yellowtail with sizzling ginger oil, and the decadent lobster pot pie with seasonal vegetables and creamy Jack cheese sauce. Ragged Point Inn has always been about great food. That’s why chef Matthew’s fines foods can be enjoyed in the dining room, the espresso and wine bar, or the ice cream shop. Their expert, friendly servers always greet guests with a welcome smile.

Thirty-nine guestrooms provide beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, with options for fireplace, deck, or balcony. From a modest snack bar and gas station, the Ramey family grew the business into a destination resort. Every year they offer a winter special for two that includes a room, dinner, and breakfast. Their reverence for the land and respect for hospitality, handed down from their visionary parents, guides two more generations of Ramey’s in making your visit at Ragged Point Inn unforgettable. Just as Wiley and Mildred were entranced, you can’t help but be charmed by the natural

beauty provided at this amazing and unique rustic outpost.

CATERING AVAILABLE HUGE PARTIES OR INTIMATE EVENTS- NO JOB TOO BIG OR SMALL!


“Popolo Catering can make your dreams come true,” says chef Leon Castillo, the warm-hearted

owner of the busiest catering company in SLO. That’s the reason he’s a favorite of brides for all of their wedding needs. Highly respected by locals who remember the special café he originally owned, everyone loved the chef’s delicious rotisserie chicken, succulent ribs, Santa Maria style tri-tip, potatoes au gratin, and unique fusion cuisine.

“Popolo Catering is the reinvention of Popolo Rotisserie & Café. People will never forget that name and now we’re living the life and dream of Popolo Catering.” This family owned business is managed by Leon with the support of his wife Kathleen and son Kenny. His business is busier than ever since he focused on full service catering. Leon can create the event you’ve dreamed of, whether it’s a small private gathering, a notable birthday celebration, or a world-class wedding. His professional, friendly staff will see to every detail for your event.

Leon explained his business blossomed into something greater than it was with the new Popolo Catering: “We’re offering the new family style catering that we’re proud of delivering, and we’ve taken it to an entirely new level.” They’re still cooking the great foods his regular customers loved at the café in the same kitchen. Leon and his talented team of cooks make everything from scratch. This is fine cuisine at its most creative, which he calls fusion, a merge of Italian, Mexican, and world famous Santa Maria style barbecue in one unforgettable

dining experience. There’s everything from rotisserie chicken, steaks, salmon, or whole pig roasted over red oak to an array of freshly baked breads, salads, side dishes, and elaborate desserts.

“People ask if I can cook their mom’s Cuban dishes for their event,” Leon noted. “I always say yes, we can do it. We can provide any combination of specials foods from our menus, and so much more.”

Popolo Catering can handle any event, whether a gourmet dinner for two (if you call 24-hours ahead), a business retreat, or a huge family style wedding. A catering company of this quality level and experience accommodates every customer equally, small or large. You can count on Leon and his team to be there every step of the way. They help you create the menu, confirm the necessary contracts, finalize details, and take away the stress.

Popolo Catering’s team is trained to provide their clientele every service for an upcoming event or wedding. The staff is trained to book flights, vacations, or business conferences. He also has professional wedding consultants who arrange every small detail: invitations, meals, florist, the wedding cake, photographer, DJ, and the minister.

Although Leon’s expertise keeps his satisfied clientele coming back over again, he’s one of the most popular caterers because he cares about clients. Weddings have special meaning for Leon, who personally serves the bride and groom their dinner and tells them: “We’re proud to serve you your first meal as husband and wife.” People always tell him that’s the best chicken or tri-tip I ever had in my life,

to which he replies: “My reward is seeing your satisfied smiles and appreciation.”

Many American’s dream of owning a successful restaurant but it’s not so easily achieved in modern

times. There is one factor, however, that will keep hungry patrons returning to a restaurant again and again. It must be a comfortable, friendly eatery that’s run by a passionate proprietor who loves their business and strives to keep their customers happy. That’s a perfect description of the charismatic and gracious Kay Flagg, owner and operator of the American classic, Kay’s Orcutt Country Kitchen in Old Orcutt.

This popular restaurant has served breakfast and lunch seven days a week since 1981, and after 32-years it’s still the locals’ favorite. One of the busiest eateries in Santa Maria wine country, the tables are always filled with their neighbors and the wine aficionados who visit the region year round. It’s always been a great place to start the workday, breakaway for a satisfying lunch, or for dining while visiting Santa Maria Valley’s outstanding wine tasting rooms found in and around Orcutt. Before she owned her dream business, Kay started working there as a part-time server and fell in love with the charming place. The quaint café was small at first, and she soon had a queue of regulars waiting for the doors to open each day.

“I’m a hometown girl, I grew up here,” Kay explained. “When the people next door sold me their property, I was able to expand.” The building was restored to its original old western style, era 1904. The nostalgic décor and framed photographs give it a heart-warming, comforting ambiance. “It’s a hometown restaurant with a western flair. The

restaurant has continued to flourish and it has been a sweet love affair for me.”

Under Kay’s direction the restaurant blossomed, becoming the heart and soul of Old Orcutt. Never one to rest on her laurels, she regularly updates the menu to keep her clientele satisfied, whether they like the old style of rock-solid, hearty meals or the modern, health-oriented cuisine. She’s currently working on new gluten-free dishes to expand the menu.

Long-time customer favorites include: scrambles, hash n’ bennies, salads and wraps, or charbroiled Angus burgers. Among her new lunch specials, guests love the classic spinach salad with charbroiled wild Coho salmon, or the teriyaki salad bowl with grilled chicken. Kay’s always willing to mix and match foods to create a mouthwatering, custom meal for her guests. She also added locally produced white and red wines, a choice of beers, and mimosas made with freshly-squeezed orange juice, or freshly harvested local strawberries. Guests love the fruity mimosas with weekend brunch.

“I’ve always loved coming here and I enjoy the good feelings from everyone who dines here,” she noted. She strives to ensure everything from the food to the service and the prices meet her guests’ needs. Kay respectfully provides all military personnel a discount on their meal. She can easily accommodate larger parties for special celebrations.

There’s a lovely covered-patio with heaters and a bubbling fountain for guests who prefer dining alfresco. Kay concluded, “Using locally grown produce and fruit, we make the best breakfasts, lunches, and

desserts for that good ol’ fashioned, home-cooked dining experience!”

Discovering Opolo Vineyards is to uncover a place where the passion to create an

unforgettable experience and o� er outstanding customer service is equally important as crafting wines that continually sell out and are now being savored by thousands of wine lovers all over the United States.

� e team at Opolo Vineyards – the name is from a sassy rose made on the Dalmatian Coast, a nod to co-owner Rick Quinn’s Serbian heritage – are warm, passionate and down-to-earth. � ey strive to “take the snobiness” out of wine tasting. Intimidation is unheard of and the tasting room feels a bit like home.

On the weekends, the barbeque is going full-tilt, cranking out Opolo’s famous Cevapcici, a special Yugoslav sausage or Pizzas from the wood � re pizza oven, made from scratch; all paired with their fabulous wines. Hospitality is key here, and everyone thoroughly enjoys a good time.

On a hilltop that commands a striking view of the surrounding hills, a huge tent is erected each fall for the Harvest Festival. It’s an unforgettable event. � e air is � lled with the succulent aroma of whole roasted lamb, taste buds come alive to the nuances of Opolo wines, and the adventurous take o� their shoes, roll up their pant legs and have a go at crushing grapes “I Love Lucy” style.

The dedication to customer service at Opolo

Vineyards is equally reflected in their wines.

Nearly all of Opolo wines are estate vintages, meaning that they are vinted from grapes grown by the winery. The central operation comprises 98 rolling Westside acres in as idyllic a setting as the beautiful Paso Robles area offers. The climate here owes a great debt to the nearby Pacific Ocean. The cooling effect of the marine layer accounts for temperature swings – the diurnal range – that can be as great as 50 degrees from afternoon highs to morning lows. The sudden drop in temperature at night preserves the balance of natural acids in the grape. The result is well balanced, appealing wines.

Generally about 10 degrees warmer than the Westside vineyards, Opolo also grows wine grapes on 200 East side acres in Paso. � e contrast in climate and soil between their East side and West side vineyards enables Opolo to produce 30 di� erent wines, growing each variety of grapes within the environment it desires. With varieties from each vineyard in Paso Robles they are provided grapes that exhibit the � nest characteristics of the terroir in which they’re grown.

Opolo Vineyards features an exceptional lineup of single varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon,

Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and many others, as well as stellar signature blends.

In the heart of the Paso Robles wine country a special place beckons. Nestled in the renowned Templeton

Gap, Veris Cellars welcomes guests with lush rose gardens, a friendly ambiance of unparalleled vineyard views, exceptional wines and the most unique of all features, a Gold Driving Range into a Chardonnay Vineyard.

Veris Cellars, named for “Spring,” or “Produce of Spring,” is home to three delectable brands; JanKris, Nova Vita, and a third label, Ben Hogan, designed as a tribute to the late golf legend. Enter the Ben Hogan Chardonnay driving range where Veris Cellars guests are invited to tee off into the beautiful estate vineyard that graces the winery property.

When owner Matthew Talbert purchased the winery from the original owners in 2008 he envisioned a “one-of-a-kind” tasting experience filled with warm hospitality and a place where guests felt as ease and wanted to “stay a while.” As such, he began sweeping improvements to the winery estate, including a complete renovation of the property’s historic 1892 Victorian home. In addition he implemented dramatic improvements to the grounds including vineyard picnic areas, lush and extensive rose gardens and water features. There is also the new private vineyard in front of the Tasting Room where wine club members are invited to “Adopt-a-Vine” and share in the festivities of Harvest and the art of winemaking.

With the assistance of a world renowned winemaking team, brought onboard to translate Matthew’s vision of producing

“world class wines,” the property’s transformation was nearly complete.

Today the vision has been realized. Upon entering the Tasting Room at Veris Cellars, guests are greeted with a friendly welcome and invited to customize their wine tasting experience. Whether that is a sampling of their JanKris brand, or a more refined experience of their Reserve Ben Hogan and Nova Vita labels. They include delectable wine and cheese pairings from Vivant Fine Cheeses, and the combination will be a delight to your palate. From a soft and approachable Cabernet Sauvignon to a bold and sensuous Petit Verdot, light delicious sparkling wines, to a crisp and savory Rose, Veris Cellars has the wines to suit anyone.

Veris Cellars hospitality does not stop there. With unique events such as Veris’ Harvestfest BBQ, Grape Crushing and music by local talent “The Tipsy Gypsies”, to seasonal suppers and tasting events, Veris Cellars is the ultimate place to be. We cater to all private events as well as weddings, receptions and corporate functions. We have the grounds to house over 400 guests with a barn, grassy areas, fountain patios, gazebos, boutique vineyards, great parking and essentials included. We boast a beautiful commercial kitchen and have a built in dance floor to house your favorite band or just dance the night away!

With so much to enjoy it isn’t hard to see why Veris Cellars has become Paso Robles’ most celebrated wine destination. One stop in and a return visit will be inevitable. Come home to

award winning wines…come home to Veris Cellars.

There are few wineries in the world that produce as broad a range of wine varieties as can Kenneth

Volk Vineyards. Where else can one enjoy wines made from Aglianico, Albarino, Blaufränkisch, Touriga Nacional, Negrette, Cabernet Pfe� er, Torrontes, Malvasia Bianca, Verdelho, old vine Mourvédre, Zinfandel, top-shelf Burgundy and Bordeaux grape varieties, and more at one winery?

“We may not be the best at what we do but we are certainly the only ones who do what we do,” owner and director of winemaking, Ken Volk, said candidly. “I love the diversity of wine and with over 3,000 varieties of wine grapes it seems silly that the American marketplace is dominated by only a handful of them. I really enjoy introducing people to new grape varieties and � avors.”

After 33 vintages of making wine on the Central Coast, Ken has watched the region grow from obscurity to becoming a major player in the global � ne wine market. Starting with Wild Horse in Templeton, which he sold to establish Kenneth Volk Vineyards, Ken has always sought out top vineyards in the � nest regions for each grape variety he produces. Hardly surprising, Ken couldn’t imagine trying to make all of his wines from a single appellation.

Kenneth Volk Vineyards (KVV) is based in the Santa Maria Valley where it grows winegrapes in its estate vineyard. Ken also leases and farms the Enz Vineyard in the Lime Kiln Valley appellation, and custom-farmed acreage at the Pomar Junction Vineyard in Paso Robles.

Additionally, Ken purchases fruit from some of the � nest vineyards throughout the Central Coast’s renowned wine growing regions.

While perhaps best known for his world-class Pinot Noirs, Ken has also been a longtime supporter of Iberian grape varieties and has sought out vineyards best suited to growing them. In 2011, he bottled the � rst Albarino to be grown and produced in the Santa Maria Valley. Grown at Riverbench Vineyard, this Albarino comes from a neighboring vineyard across the river from the winery. A delicious, aromatic white grape, Albarino was originally grown in the Galicia region of northwestern Spain.

Current releases at KVV also include the 2011 Verdelho and 2010 Touriga Nacional from Pomar Junction, as well as the 2008 Tempranillo from Starr Ranch, both vineyards located in Paso Robles.

KVV features a scenic winery and tasting room in Tepusquet Canyon, and has a second Kenneth Volk satellite tasting room in Paso Robles on Highway 46 West. � e knowledgeable, friendly sta� and intriguing wines made at Kenneth Volk makes visiting one of its tasting rooms an entirely enjoyable experience for sampling both mainstream and heirloom grape varieties. In addition to its tasting rooms, KVV o� ers the Cellar Door Club: the only web-based, interactive wine club that allows members to select the wines that they want to receive versus a mandatory pre� x of wines. Regardless of whether it’s in

the vineyard, the cellar or online, KVV has always been innovative in the tradition of � ne winemaking.
