Not far from the Hearst Castle off of Hwy 101 sits the wine town of Paso Robles. With over 200 wineries, here are some of my favorite picks.

Overlooking the pacific ocean, Adelaida sits on sloping terrains and chalk rock limestones. With this, Adelaida Cellars Inc. has very well managed its unique location and climate to producing the best of the best in California.

This winery can be traced all the way back to 1964 and has now sealed their expertise in Burgundian varieties.

Anna's Estate Vineyard was primarily an experiment before it realized that their operations is reliable and has the potential to succeed. Clone and rootstock is integration in making their wines and in turn, it has given all their blends this specific essence that has caught everyone's attention. They are very well-known for their earthy and chocolate-y flavor. Named after Elizabeth Van Steenwyk's grandmother, their Syrah wine is their specialty.

Michael's Estate Vineyard is an excellent winemaker that exploits all the benefits of dry farming. With their vast dry farm lands, their wines hold numerous flavors packed in one drop of wine. They offer a bunch of wine varietals that are all specially made, but their Zinfadels take the cake. Everyone truly has high praises for it.

Viking Estate Vineyard has a collection of high-quality wine blends produced right at their backyard. It is relatively young as it just started its winemaking operations in 2007. Situated on the edges of a ravine, it may pose difficulties to them in terms of growing their grapes. However, Viking Estate Wineyard has managed to be on the top in producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Syrah.
