MEXICAN RESTAURANT

Award Winning Chile Verde

When you’re in San Luis Obispo, there’s just one place to go if you want to see people and be

seen, Mother’s Tavern. A local favorite, it’s been the hottest nightclub in San Luis Obispo since the day it opened in 1994. Colloquially referred to as MO/TAV, the full bar offers an array of specialty cocktails, beers, and good local wines. It’s one of the few places where you can get microbrew beers, sangria, margaritas, or mojitos by the pitcher. However, there’s one thing that puts Mother’s above most clubs: they offer great food, too. Once you’ve tasted one, you’ll start craving Mother’s amazing specialty burgers with a side of sweet potato fries and honey aioli; or appetizers like their fabulous Angus beef sliders, hamburger nachos, and hot wings. During happy hour Monday through Friday, Mothers’ special appetizer menu choices are only $2.00 each.

When Mother’s Tavern opened in November 1994, the restaurant wasn’t a priority. That’s no longer true under the new ownership. It’s still the same popular nightclub it has always been, but the new menu will change the way patrons think of MO/TAV. The menu offers an array of really good foods; nearly all of them priced under $10.00.

The owners/managers are excited about the new menu and the focus on quality: “We’re very proud of our hardworking kitchen crew. You’ll be amazed by the amount of exceptional foods produced from that tiny kitchen,” co-owner Earl Olson explained. A native of Orange County, he earned a degree at UC Santa Barbara, and moved to SLO in 2002. Olson has many years experience managing restaurants and

bars. “I really must credit the amazing and friendly staff for our current and future success. They’re the reason people return over and over again.”

The MO/TAV menu features beef, chicken and turkey burgers from sustainable ranches that are grass-fed, free range, and 100 percent hormone free. The local produce comes from specialty farms, and fresh breads from artisan bakeries. You can choose one of their delicious specialty burgers or make up your own special from a choice of 45 toppings. The full menu offers three delicious choices of fries, including one version topped with garlic, parmesan, truffle oil, and herbs. You’ll also love their signature salads like the warm spinach salad with sherry vinaigrette, feta and toasted pine nuts, with additional choice of steak or chicken.

At 10 p.m., everyone heads to Mother’s to dance to the very best local

DJ’s. Several large screen TV’s feature the latest games for sports fans. Mother’s is also a great choice for private events: cocktail parties with passed hors d’oeuvres; holiday parties; wedding receptions; or private

lunch or dinner parties. The newly renovated, upstairs loft and VIP lounge with contemporary leather couches and chic décor offers private bar and bottle service, making it the perfect venue for every gathering. Anyone can book a table at MO/TAV by visiting MothersTavern.com. Their personable hostess, Claire Davidson, will make sure your experience is memorable. Mother’s also caters events outside the restaurant. Visit any day or night of the week and you’ll find there’s always something fun happening at MO/TAV.

The rewards of Central Coast living are often found off the beaten path, and that includes our finest

restaurants. That’s why it’s worth taking the road less traveled by to get to Adelina’s Bistro & Market Place, located in the Monarch Club at Trilogy Central Coast in Nipomo. Chef Pandee Pearson’s menu showcases the freshest foods of the season from local farms.

If you shop the farmers’ markets you’ve likely seen this passionate chef procuring her fine produce and fruit for Adelina’s Bistro. It’s easy to spot the charming Pandee discussing the season with her favorite farmers. She’s always pushing around a giant shopping cart overflowing with produce at the peak of season: baby lettuces, cavolo nero, Chinese long beans, fava beans, ripe tomatoes, blood oranges, meyer lemons, berries, and a rainbow of flowers to decorate the dining room tables.

Adelina’s serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and every menu showcases her farmer’s market selections. At breakfast egg burritos feature a choice of spicy chicken, chorizo, or market veggies, and freshly baked muffins and pastries are made with seasonal berries, apples, pears or sweet pumpkin. For Sunday brunch the menu choices include: wild mushroom omelet; grilled asparagus with poached egg, prosciutto, frisee, arugula and pesto on grilled rustic bread; and traditional eggs Benedict. The lunch menu offers gourmet pizzas from the brick oven, panini, sandwiches and salads.

Pandee’s dinner menu features gourmet nibbles, appetizers and entrées: fried green tomatoes with lemon aioli;

“Naw Ahleeens” style BBQ shrimp with grilled herb-garlic toasts; local chanterelle mushroom bruschetta with fig jam, Cambazola cheese and salsa verde;

local halibut with citrus-scented jasmine rice, orange-fennel salad and blood orange vinaigrette. Pandee’s classic dessert confections, including the freshly-spun ice creams, are also housemade.

The reasonably-priced wine list, quite uncommon in upscale restaurants, offers an excellent selection of Central Coast wines. Wines-by-the-glass, priced $5 to $10, feature local favorites like Edna Valley Vineyards, Laetitia, Kenneth Volk and Turley. The bottle selection includes rarities from artisan producers such as Bonaccorsi, L’Aventure and Linne Calodo.

Chef Pandee said Adelina’s is the type of restaurant says she would create if she opened her own place. Her interest in cooking started when she was a child and she can boast (but she doesn’t) of an auspicious career. After graduating from the California Culinary Academy she worked with renowned chefs across the country, including: Wolfgang Puck, Dean Fearing, Cindy Pawlcyn and Jody Denton.

Pandee says her multicultural, health-conscious cuisine revolves around the finest quality, seasonal foods. “I feel the ingredients should be the stars and it’s the chef’s job to create interesting combinations that are complementary and reflect

balance.” When you’re too busy to cook, or on the road, you can call for Adelina’s convenient take-out from the lunch or dinner menu they’re serving at the time, to enjoy at home. They’ve expanded their catering services and can easily accommodate a small, intimate party, or a banquet of 250 people.

Pandee always tells people that cooking isn’t just her job; it’s a lifestyle that’s connected with everything she loves. And you’ll find her passion is expressed in every incredible dining experience you enjoy at Adelina’s Bistro.

Thomas Hill Organics (THO), Paso Robles new market-bistro and wine bar, is dedicated to serving the freshest

local organic produce and highlighting the unique wines produced on the Central Coast. But there’s one important distinction that sets this restaurant apart from others: owners Joe and Debbie Thomas created it as the perfect outlet to provide locals with their organic fruits and produce freshly-picked from their original business, Thomas Hill Farms.

Open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, the THO menu changes weekly according to the season and availability of ingredients. The Thomases source their organic, grass-fed beef and lamb, free range poultry, and wild fish from local ranches and fisheries. You can pre-order your steak when you call to make reservations. The breads are custom made by local artisan bakers. The menu by their talented chef, Julie Simon, offers a fabulous array of choices that she created specially for THO. Among her delectable dishes: arugula, blood orange, avocado, housemade ricotta, and chervil-Sherry vinaigrette; and cast iron Diver scallops with housemade tagliatelle, fresh egg, and house-cured pork belly lardons.

Born in Paris, Simon was 12 when her family opened a bar with bistro food in southwest France. The family’s love of sharing good food and stories at the table inspired her to become a chef. In 2004, Simon moved to California where she was mentored by chef Pandee Pearson at Windows on the Water in Morro Bay, and chef Meagen Loring at the Park Restaurant in San Luis Obispo. “Julie’s enthusiasm for fresh, seasonal, organic ingredients, and her creative ability for unique pairings made her a perfect match for Thomas

Hill Organics,” explained Debbie Thomas. “She believes in nurturing strong relationships with local ranchers, winemakers, artisans, and specialty purveyors, which brought her back to the values she grew up with in France.”

Thomas Hill Farms, located amidst the eastside vineyards in Paso Robles wine country, is dedicated to growing organic, heirloom varieties of fruit, vegetables, and nuts. The ten-acre farm has over 800 fruit and nut trees, a vineyard planted exclusively to Italian varietals, and raised beds of lettuce, greens, garlic, tomatoes, among many other seasonal vegetables and herbs. Certified Organic, the farm offers a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program: locals can pre-order their organic produce, freshly-harvested at the height of the season, and pick it up at THO or Cass Winery.

The Thomases also buy organically grown ingredients from their artisan neighbors, and feature their brand names on THO menus. Simon’s Sunday

brunch features delicacies like: omelet of farm fresh eggs with arugula, grilled broccoli rabe, Cambozola cheese, fruit, and toasted bread; and slow-baked eggs with braised pork belly, French Morbier

cheese, arugula salad, and grilled bread. Paso Roble’s temperate climate allows alfresco dining on the lovely patio nearly year round. It also features the wood-fired pizza oven where guests can watch the cooks prepare their pizzas topped with choice ingredients such as: Oak Hill oyster mushrooms, Paso Robles Cheese Company’s truffle goat cheese, or Simon’s housemade pork-fennel sausage. It’s no wonder that THO ranks among Paso Robles’s top dining destinations for food and wine lovers.

BEEF PORKENTRÉES Drop by the beautiful, rural

Templeton Farmers Market early Saturday morning and

there’s one local chef you’ll always see shopping there, Kelly Wangard of the Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse. It’s not just the locally grown tomatoes, spinach, sugar snaps peas, artichokes, squash blossoms, arugula, sunflower and clover sprouts, apples, peaches and berries, that irresistibly beckons her. She’s there to support the Central Coast and Central Valley farmers and ranchers.

Kelly was raised on a Paso Robles ranch with an almond orchard. Each year she helped harvest fruit and shake almonds from the trees. Those experiences inspired her to become a chef. “I was only 11-years-old when I started helping out on the ranch,” she recalled. “It provided an opportunity for me that began my appreciation for food and for the farmers who grow it.” She became passionate about everything culinary at an early age, and now she’s found her niche at the Paso Robles Inn.

After Kelly graduated from Paso Robles High School her first professional culinary experience was at Cahoots Catering Co. in Paso. Inspired by owners, Lisa and Jim Subject, they urged the talented young woman to attend San Francisco’s California Culinary Academy. Following her graduation she cooked at Fleur de Lys and Kimpton Hotels in San Francisco, Caneel Bay Resort on St. John Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin, and Loews Beverly Hills Hotel, to perfect her skills as a professional chef. Now she’s showcasing her well-rounded culinary experiences at the Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse in her delightful gourmet menus.

The personable chef explains: “I’ve redefined the traditional steakhouse

concept to appeal to everyone. We’re introducing fun new concepts for people who love dining out and look for new experiences.” The historic Paso Robles Inn, 145-years-old, has always been the social hub for Paso Roblans. With Chef Kelly at the helm in the kitchen the Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse is a main attraction for food connoisseurs. She kept the steak house theme locals love, and upgraded the menus with contemporary dishes.

“I like to take classics and give them a twist with fresh flavors and modest presentation.” Kelly explained. The inviting, steakhouse dining room features a huge fireplace and large booths. Picture windows behind the comfortable booths overlook the inn’s serene gardens. Owned by the Martin Family since 1999, the inn has served locals and travelers since 1864. It was built next to the first artesian well established by Franciscan padres in 1797.

Kelly’s tantalizing, classic breakfasts can be enjoyed at the original circular counter in the coffee shop, the steakhouse, or at garden-side tables. Among the irresistible choices on the lunch menu is her “build

your own burger” with a range of choices from the meat to the toppings. Her upscale dinner menu features dishes like: grilled Castroville artichoke with Meyer lemon mayonnaise and chipotle ranch dressing;

roasted quail stuffed with mushrooms, bacon and Bautista Farms spinach; and roasted Morro Bay halibut with Jardine Ranch almonds and roasted pepper sauce.

The dessert list, like the other menus, always offers the freshest fruit and seasonal berries in delicacies like: seasonal bread pudding, berry salad, and candied almonds. At the Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse the expression locally grown explains everything about this passionate chef and her farm fresh cuisine.

We at Central Coast Seafood sure hope so. Family owned and operated on the Central Coast since 1973 we pride ourselves on supplying local

retailers and restaurants with the highest quality seafood available, sourced from environmentally responsible and sustainable sources.

We understand that choosing � sh maybe a bit confusing so we’d like to offer these suggestions:

www.ccseafood.com | 800.273.4741

Whole FishLook for bright, clear eyes. The eyes are the window to a truly fresh � sh, for they fade quickly into gray dullness. Dull-eyed � sh may be safe to eat, but they are past their prime.

Next look at the � sh. Does it shine? Does it look metallic and clean? Or has it dulled or has discolored patches on it? If so, it is marginal.

Smell it. A fresh � sh should smell like clean water, a touch briny or even like cucumbers.

Look at the gills. They should be a rich red. If the � sh is old, they will turn the color of faded brick.

Fish FilletsLook for vibrant � esh. All � sh fade as they age. If the � llet still has skin, that skin should look as pristine as the skin on an equally good whole � sh: shiny and metallic.

Smell it. The smell test is especially important with � llets. They should have no pungent aromas.

Is there liquid on the meat? If so, that liquid should be clear, not milky. Milky liquid on a � llet is the � rst stage of rot. If the � shmonger lets you, press the meat with your � nger, it should be resilient enough so your indentation disappears. If your � ngerprint remains, move on.

It is best to cook or grill your � sh the same day you buy it especially oiler � sh like tuna and yellowtail. If you do decide to freeze it, please treat it like you would ice cream. Make it the last item you put in your cart, and when you get home place it in the coldest section of your refrigerator.

And remember to ask your � sh monger or favorite restaurant if they are offering “The Freshest Fish on Land” supplied by Central Coast Seafood.

Restaurants and Retail Markets receive our product on a daily basis, so ask for Central Coast Seafood wherever you shop or dine!

Winner of the 2009 San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce Green Business of the Year

San Luis Obispo’s newest restaurant offers a green menu that helps everyone become more

environmentally conscious. This dining room, however, isn’t among those you’d normally find downtown. Located in the Embassy Suites in the Promenade Shopping Center, this popular hotel has served SLO very well over the past three decades. It’s catered to locals for everything from weddings, business conventions, and wine industry seminars to winemakers’ dinners and New Year’s Eve parties. Recently, there’s been a big change at Embassy Suites: the opening of its new GREENHOUSE Grill & Café.

Formerly the Atrium restaurant, the spacious, open-air dining room was transformed into a contemporary green restaurant. The change was inspired by Chef Timothy Hulbert whose menu features the bounty of fresh foods produced on the Central Coast. With this new concept, locals are certain to make it a favorite spot for enjoying both lunch and dinner. Hulbert completely revamped the menu. A meal here assures guests the freshest meat, fish and produce from artisans at local farms and specialists outside the area. The new menu features: grass-fed Hearst Ranch beef and fresh fish from North America’s only 100-percent sustainable seafood company. The Embassy Suites also proudly features Starbucks.

Hulbert, a native of southern California, started his culinary career in 1982 in Woodland Hills. While working at his first restaurant job, the general manager was transferring to Colorado and offered Hulbert an opportunity to work with him there. An avid fisherman and skier, Hulbert jumped at the opportunity to live in the Rocky Mountains. His next career

move was to a four-star resort in Colorado Springs. “It was at the Cheyenne Mountain Inn where I really developed my culinary skills. I spent ten years there: learning garde manger, ice carving, butchering, fine dining and banquets.”

In 1996, Hulbert moved to Las Vegas to become executive sous chef at the Hard Rock Hotel. Four years later he took the lead as executive chef for Bahama Breeze restaurants, a Caribbean-themed chain of restaurants. Hulbert returned to Las Vegas in 2005 to take the executive chef position at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. In 2010, family brought him back to the Central Coast, where he earned the executive chef position at the Embassy Suites. In addition to the restaurant and banquet services, he will offer off-site catering.

Hulbert’s new menu includes many exciting new dishes, among the first courses: tuna ceviche with taro root chips; field greens salad with stilton and brie cheeses; the sunburst salad, a

medley of baby romaine, lola rosa, and field greens, marinated cucumbers, poached pear, and candied walnuts, dressed in a citrus vinaigrette. His new entrée selection is equally alluring: sesame-glazed Alaskan

salmon with shiitake mushrooms, scallions, sweet vegetables, and cilantro jasmine rice cake; and Hearst Ranch rib eye, a 14-oz. herb-rubbed steak served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. Among the delicious housemade desserts is the chef’s cranberry bread pudding with vanilla anglaise and vanilla-bean ice cream. Whether you’re looking for a wedding site, business seminar or a delicious, healthful meal, you’ll find it all at Embassy Suites and the new GREENHOUSE Grill & Café.

B I G B U B B A ’ S B A D T O T H E B O N E B B Q

The moment you pull up to Big Bubba’s Bad B.B.Q. it’s obvious that this is not your average

restaurant. Seeing those Wild West style fort towers reaching into the sky put you on notice that this is going to be an experience you will never forget. Walking up to the front door along the wooden sidewalks and past the outdoor fire pit, it hits you – the smoky smell of award-winning barbeque.

As you pull open the front door the sound of country music fills your ears and the sight of your smiling hostess in her black and white cow-print shirt immediately transport you into a world of non-stop fun. As your hostess guides you along the bridge over the indoor pond you notice the mechanical bull putting a rider to the test. At this point the kids are already tugging on your arm insisting on getting to ride the bull, which your hostess assures always takes it easy on the little buck-a-roos.

As you arrive at your table, the family has a few laughs with each other about the table being situated inside a jail cell and finds their seats. As you settle in, you realize that everything that happens at Big Bubba’s is all about fun. Starting with the bull, extending to the incredible western décor and winding up with the menu, fun is everywhere.

There’s a selection of specialty drinks for both the adults and the kids to get the meal kicked off and the menu

features award-winning barbeque which is smoked to perfection. Whether you choose the tri-tip steak, huge beef ribs or the baby back ribs you’ll be tasting barbeque at its very best. For those who are looking something on the lighter side, Big Bubba’s signature salads like the Crazy Cranberry Salad the Tri-tip Salad are not to be missed. For the little ones, Big Bubba’s has put together a menu that offers up a variety of items to satisfy the pickiest of eaters and portions that are just right.

While you’re enjoying this amazing experience together as a family, you’ll share plenty of smiles as you watch the entire serving staff halt and entertain you with choreographed dance routines a few times each hour. As the family takes its turn on the mechanical bull,

the souvenir photos you’re taking home will always remind you of that special day Big Bubba’s. You see, special days are what Big Bubba’s Bad B.B.Q. is all about, and if it’s your birthday you’re in luck, because at Big Bubba’s the cowboy or cowgirl gets their entrée on the house.

As you approach the end of your time at Big Bubba’s Bad B.B.Q. you realize that

this hasn’t been just another trip out for lunch or dinner with your family. This has been an experience that all of you will remember for as long as you live. Because at Big Bubba’s everyday is a celebration of family, good friends and memories to last a lifetime.

Our menu features fresh organic produce grown on our farm and changes often according to avail-ability and season. Our meat and fish come from local ranchers, butchers and fishermen.

Carina CellarsCarina Cellars is the result of an avid wine collector with a dream, who met an accomplished winemaker with a vision. When attorney and businessman David Hardee and winemaker Joey Tensley met in 2002, they both had a vision for producing top-quality Rhone wines that showcase Central Coast terroir above all else. Our winemaking approach is traditional and minimalist, and the resulting wines are rich in varietal flavors and aromas-vibrant Viogniers, spicy Syrahs and unique blends such as the Clairvoyant and Iconoclast. We have two beautiful locations for you to visit and taste our wines, or visit: 2900 Grand Avenue, Los Olivos CA (next to Panino) • 805-688-2459 3525 Adelaida Road, Paso Robles CA • 415-309-2046 www.carinacellars.com

K E N N E T H V O L K V I N E Y A R D S

There’s been a huge change in the normally tranquil Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County’s wine

country that’s renowned for the quality of its elegant Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. The new Tepusquet Road bridge has been completed, providing travelers a convenient shortcut from Foxen Canyon Road to the north side of the Sisquoc River. Now, it’s much more convenient to get to the historic site that’s home to Kenneth Volk Vineyards, and it’s nine-miles closer for wine lovers traveling up the Foxen Canyon wine trail from Los Olivos. The Santa Maria Valley is home to many Central Coast wine industry pioneers, like Kenneth “Ken” Volk. He’s been making wines from grapes grown along the Sisquoc River Valley since 1977. Ken earned acclaim for crafting fi ne wines as the owner and winemaker at Wild Horse Winery in Templeton. In 2003, he sold the horse label, but retirement was hardly on his mind. He realized a long-held dream a year later when he purchased the historic Byron Winery and four-acre vineyard, established in 1981, to launch his family brand, Kenneth Volk Vineyards. Ken considers himself fortunate to have had the rare opportunity to reinvent himself and to start a new venture that he describes as: “smaller, better and slower.” He restored the celebrated 25-year old winery and tasting room, and opened to the public in 2006. With 33-years of winemaking experience behind him, Ken describes his new winery and tasting room as one of the most beautiful, peaceful locations in Santa Barbara County. He explained: “Very few places in the world can surpass the Santa

Maria Valley for consistently remarkable Chardonnay quality.” Ken’s fl agship Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays are sourced from the fi nest vineyards in Santa Maria Valley. Anyone who knows this passionate winemaker can tell you his love of wine isn’t limited to Burgundian varieties. And Ken isn’t one of San Luis Obispo County’s favored sons simply for establishing his fi rst winery there. He’s been a champion of fi ne vineyards on the Central Coast since he started out as home winemaker. He seeks out appellations that have the greatest potential for the varieties he produces, from Lime Kiln Valley to Santa Maria Valley. He was an advocate of the Central Coast’s artisanal wine growers long before other wineries began advertising: “Our wines are made in the vineyard.”Although his focus is on Burgundy’s classic varietals, Ken has an affi nity for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and heirloom varietals that aren’t exactly main

stream on grocery store shelves. The self-described wine junkie said he’s still committed to making: Verdelho, Malvasia Bianca, Negrette, Tempranillo, Cabernet Pfeffer and other hard-to-pronounce, seldom seen, heirloom varieties that

few other wineries produce. The latest news is that Ken has returned to Paso Robles with a new tasting room on Highway 46 West at the Sycamore Herb Farm. He explained: “I had been looking to get back to Paso Robles to establish an additional tasting room for quite a while. I’m extremely fortunate to be able to lease space from Lone Madrone winery to open a Paso Roble’s tasting room for Kenneth Volk Vineyards and I hope to be open by June 2010.”

O P O L O

Once you’ve visited Opolo on Paso Roble’s beautiful Westside wine trails, like everyone else who has

experienced it, you’ll be eager to return. Wine aficionados visit this renowned region because they’re searching for more than award-winning wines, they want memorable experiences. At Opolo the good times go on year round whether it’s the weekend or a weekday. Here you’ll enjoy an experience that’s both educational and fun, be it the wine and cheese pairings, delicious barbecues, or gourmet winemaker’s dinner in the cellar. And you won’t find snobbism here, there’s always something fun going on. During harvest you can cast off your shoes and stomp grapes barefoot, “I Love Lucy” style.

Visiting the mountain top where Opolo’s highest-elevation vineyard grows explains why co-owner Rick Quinn envisioned building his estate here. Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Zinfandel excelled here, proven by the vintners who began planting those varieties 14-years-ago. Still, Quinn and his partner David Nichols know it takes more than spectacular views to attract wine connoisseurs. When the tasting room opened in 2001 they established the guiding principle for the Opolo team: “People and award-winning wines, it’s a happy combination.” The friendly, tasting room staff takes the intimidation away from wine tasting, making the experience enjoyable for everyone.

The wines are mostly estate grown, which sets them apart from many other Central Coast wineries. Opolo sells some of their estate grapes to their peers in Paso Robles and Napa Valley. They also buy winegrapes from their neighbors during an exceptional vintage. Quinn and Nichols, both lifelong wine connoisseurs, make their wines with one goal in mind: producing

consumer-friendly wines that appeal to every taste. Over the years they’ve expanded their vineyard plantings to ensure they would always have a constant source of grapes.

They broadened their classic varietal selection by purchasing 200-acres on Paso Roble’s Eastside, renowned for growing exceptional Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. With more varieties from vineyards on the west and east sides of Paso Robles they are provided grapes that exhibit the finer characteristics of the terroir in which they’re grown.

In 1999, Opolo’s first vintage, they made Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Zinfandel and Muscat Canelli. They’re respected for classic reds, yet they’re equally passionate about their whites, including: Viognier, Roussanne, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Their exceptional blends include: Rhapsody, a Meritage; Montagna-Mare, Barbera and Sangiovese; Fusion, Cabernet Franc and Merlot; and several others. From the beginning they’ve won

awards from the Orange County State Fair, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, and other judging’s across the country.

The name Opolo, from Quinn’s Yugoslavian heritage, is in reference to a Rosé-style

wine made on the Dalmatian Coast. Every weekend you’ll find the barbecue fired-up with Rick’s cevapcici, a Serbian beef and lamb dish, or their signature carne asada tacos. During Paso Robles major wine events, Opolo is quite popular for its dinner parties around the barbecue.

Opolo’s latest addition is a romantic bed and breakfast among the grapevines where guests can enjoy the idyllic dream of living in wine country. Discover Opolo where the only thing as important as their wines is their desire to provide their guests an unforgettable experience.
