High Roller Tiki Lounge opens in Solvang

Restaurant, bar and California wine industry veteran, Michael Cobb, is officially
providing tiki enthusiasts with another California Central Coast stop for their
cultural fill, with his recently-launched tiki bar and lounge, High Roller Tiki
Lounge (highrollertiki.com), in Solvang. High Roller Tiki Lounge the secluded,
tiki culture-laden space hidden behind Cobbs Sort This Out Cellars wine tasting
room, in the heart of downtown Solvang debuts as Cobbs Sort This Out Cellars
(sortthisoutcellars.com) wine label approaches its tenth anniversary in 2017.
Cobbs High Roller Tiki Lounge features wine-based tiki cocktails, claiming
its place as a pioneer in the tiki winetail realm. The current drinks menu at
High Roller Tiki Lounge offers approximately 14 winetails, some of which are
wine-based versions of classic tiki drinks, like the Mai Tai, Navy Grog and the
Painkiller. Cobb also ties Solvang into his custom-designed tiki cocktails and
mugs, offering drinks such as the Solvang Siren, Suffering Scandinavian and
the Bloody Viking, as well as his customized Mermaid mug produced by the
Tiki-world famous Tiki Farm.
High Roller Tiki Lounge was born of a carefully-curated concept, first hatched
during Cobbs 17-year career with Disneyland. Cobb began his Disney run as a chef for Disneyland restaurants, namely, the exclusive
and private Club 33 where he worked for 10 years.
In 2016, Cobb created High Roller Tiki Lounge out of a personal love for all things tiki, combined with a previous foray into the
world of winetails, which he had been crafting for Sort This Out Cellars tasting room for a few years prior to opening the Tiki Lounge.
High Roller Tiki Lounge and Sort This Out Cellars are located at 1636 Copenhagen Drive, Solvang. The Sort This Out Cellars tasting
room and High Roller Tiki Lounge are currently open seven days a week, Sunday through Thursday, 10am to 7pm; Friday and Saturday,
10am to 10pm; with plans in place for late-evening hours in the Tiki Lounge. Sort This Out Cellars/High Roller Tiki Lounge also features
live music every weekend, 7 to 10pm, Fridays and Saturdays.

Santos personally overseeing every dish that leaves the kitchen. PASO ROBLES
Although the menu changes often, there are a few dishes that
remain due to their popularity. Grilled octopus with fresh vegetables
marinati leads an impressive list of antipasti; homemade pappadelle
with wild boar ragu is a favorite for many regulars, as is the veal chop
with porcini mushroom sauce. For a sweet ending, there is nothing
like the panna cotta.
The intimate dining room and cozy courtyard are the perfect setting
for a special dinner or romantic evening out. Impeccable service and an
impressive wine list paired with Chef Santos creations have garnered
Il Cortile a reputation as one of the top culinary destinations in Paso
Robles. Locals and wine country visitors anxiously wait to hear the
evenings specials each visit.
Carole has shown her passion in the extensive wine list. It really is a
passion of ours to provide Paso with fine Italian cuisine paired with such SAN LUIS OBISPO
wonderful wines. Its a pleasure to see our guests enjoy the pairings. The
wine list began as a short list when the restaurant opened five years ago;
today, the list has grown to over 250 bottles with a selection of wines from
several regions of Italy, as well as outstanding wines from Paso Robles and
the Central Coast. The restaurant was honored with the prestigious Wine
Spectator Award of Excellence for 2014, 2015, and 2016, an award only
one other restaurant in the area has received.
Il Cortile, located at 608 12th Street in Paso Robles, is open Sunday,
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5 to10pm and Friday through
Saturday from 5 to 11pm. For more information, call (805) 226-0300

Wine Tasting in San Luis Obispo County
Its no wonder the people here call

it SLO. No one is in any hurry in
the cafes or on the sidewalks, and
certainly no one is in any rush to leave.
Strangers are genuinely friendly, always
ready to talk about their favorite hiking
trail or barbecue joint, or to point the
way to the winery with the best Pinot
Noir. Its all part of the SLO life, that
combination of good stuff that makes
visiting here so nourishing to the soul.
San Luis Obispos unusual natural
beauty, along with its gentle climate,
first attracted the Spanish padres to the
area in the 1700s. In 1772 they built
the fifth of Californias 21 missions
here, on the banks of San Luis Creek,
and named it Mission San Luis Obispo
de Tolosa. Today, many consider this
the most beautiful of the Spanish
missions.
More than 200 wineries produce
critically acclaimed vintages in Paso
Robles, Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande
Valley. Visitors can head out along the
gorgeous country roads to sip their way
through the vineyards.
For more information on San Luis
Obispo County, go to visitslo.com or

8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 For the most part, going wine
tasting is about the easiest thing in
8 8 8
the world, especially in California
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 where wineries and tasting rooms
abound. Mostly, wine tasting is a
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 matter of doing a little research and
planning your day. Here are some
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
tips that have proven to be helpful
8 8 8 and are designed to help make the
sensory adventure of wine tasting
8 8 8 all the more enjoyable.
Before you start off, pack a few
8 8 8 8 8 8
essentials. Water (plenty of
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 water) and something to snack
oncrackers or a baguette.
8 8 8 8 8 8 Many wineries have picnic areas
and there are plenty of delis and
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
bakeries that can make up a lunch
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 for you, or make your own.
Be sure to nibble during the day and
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 make time for lunch. Two tips: drink
at least twice as much water as
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
you do wine, and remember that
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 you dont have to drink everything
poured into your glass.
8 8 8 Dont be afraid to ask questions.
Time again I have heard
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
knowledgeable winery workers
8 8 8 8 8 say that there is no such thing as
a stupid question, and they mean
8 8 8 that.
You can drink what you want, in the
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
order you want. If you like reds, say
8 8 8 8 so; if you dont like sweet wines,
speak up. But the idea of starting
8 8 8 8 8 with whites, then going on to reds
and then sweet wines is a good
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
guide.
8 8 If there is a particular wine you want
to try and it is not on the list, ask. Most
8 8 8 8 8 tasting rooms are happy to pour a
little if you show enthusiasm.
8 8 8 8 8 8
Look for tasting rooms in towns.
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 Many of these are cooperative
tasting rooms, where in one place
8 8 8 8 8 8 you might find wines from a
dozen or more small-to-medium
8 8 8 8 8 8 8
premium producers.

as college jobs at local wineries, soon became their passion as they

the art of Pinot Noir. This led to travels abroad, where the couple

Wine Tasting in Santa Barbara County
A Spirit and Passion for Winemaking

O n the southern end of the Central Coast appellation, lies Santa Barbara Countys historic
wine growing region. The first vineyard production in these rolling coastal hills dates back to
1782, when Junipero Serra planted vines on Mission land. About a hundred years later, there
was 260 acres of luscious vineyards and seventeen winemakers in Santa Barbara County. Sadly,
the Prohibition Era destroyed many of these historic vineyard sites and mostly put an end to
winemaking in the regionas was the case in many of the beautiful winegrowing regions across
the state. With that being said, the spirit and passion for winemaking never left Santa Barbara
County, and this wine growing region is alive and well today. Talented winemakers are producing
outstanding and pure terroir driven wines from the five American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), planted
mostly to Burgundian, Rhne and Bordeaux grape varieties.
Although the movie Sideways is said to have put San Barbara Countys wine growing region on
the map in 2004, especially the Santa Maria Valley AVA, it is the high quality of the wine across
the county that has continued to uphold this bountiful regions reputation. Sprawling vineyards
and gently rolling hills create a picturesque scene for visitors and locals alike, who visit the many
wineries, tasting rooms and wine bars in the area. In the five AVAs, wine tasters will find a nice
range of wine styles amongst the Burgundian, Rhone and Bordeaux varietals that are produced.
In the more northern region, cool climate Burgundian varietals reign, such as Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay, due to the maritime influence. This ensures a long temperate growing season which
the Burgundian varietals crave. With ample amount of sunlight, the grapes ripen very slowly
perfect for producing terroir driven wines with pure varietal characteristics. In the southern region,
there is more of a diurnal shift with warmer nights and cooler days. This area sees less fog and has
different soil types than what is found closer to the coast. The Bordeaux and Rhine varieties flourish
in this warmer climate and the sandy soils with limestone and chalk impart a wonderfully desirable
minerality in the wines.
The wineries in Santa Barbara County boast a concentration of incredibly passionate and talented
winemakers; join them year round at their many events, celebrations and festivals, as well as in
their tasting rooms.

$40. Some tasting bars will offer
8 8 8 you the option to taste a library
or reserve wine. Exercising this
option increases the fee, but will
8 8 8 8 8 allow you to taste very unique,
old or rare wines.
8 8 8 8 8
Sit Down Tasting
A Sit Down Tasting usually
8 8 8
requires an appointment, and
there may be a slightly higher
8 8 8 8 fee than a wine bar fee. Seated in
an elegant room, you are poured
8 8 8 8 several wines by your winery
host. Expect your host to describe
the unique characteristics of each
8 8 8 8 8
wine and how it was made.
8 Walk Around Tasting
A Walk Around Tasting is
8 8 a combination of a tour and a
tasting. Your host brings along
several bottles of wine on your
8 8 8 8 tour, and may take you to a
garden area of the winery to pour
8 8 8 the first round. Then you move to
another place within the winery
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 to sample the next wine. This
experience continues until all the
wines are tasted.
8 8 8 8 8 8 8
Barrel Tasting
8 8 8 Another popular tasting
experience that can be part of a
8 8 tour or a Walk Around is a Barrel
Tasting. Your guide takes a wine

Why make an appointment?
8 8 8 8 8
Some wineries are so small
that they need to know when you
8 8 are coming so someone will be
there to greet you. Others have
8 8 8 8 sit-down tastings that start and

Zaca Mesa Vineyard
Syrah, Vision and History
The year was 1983 when Zaca Mesa made its very first Syrah,
blended with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and harvested from the
first Syrah planting in Santa Barbara County. The original tasting
notes by Ken Brown were concise and to the point: This Syrah
displays abundant fruit and pleasing complexities..the first Syrah
produced by Zaca Mesa Winery, and promises to be a very popular
wine. Celebrating the original Zaca Mesa Syrah, the celebratory
30th anniversary release mirrors the original wine. While Ken
Brown has since moved on, the Syrahs of Zaca Mesa have become
very popular and there is always an impressive variety to be
enjoyed in the tasting room.
An Historical Tasting Room

A visit to the people, dog and family friendly tasting room is a
memorable and educational experience. Housed in the original
1978 barn and winery, you are surrounded by the history of Zaca
Mesa and of winemaking in the Santa Barbara area. One of the
oldest wineries in Santa Barbara, Zaca Mesa was the first to plant

Lions Peak Winery

Make Mine Cabernet Sauvignon!
When you step inside Lions Peaks tasting room, in downtown
Solvang, it becomes apparent that there is an artist expression that
is connected with Lions Peak. A collection of library Cabernet
Sauvignon, Bordeaux Meritages and single varietal wines, which
date back to their first commercial 1994 vintage, are on the wine
racks, as well as their current releases. There is a rich history of
awards to be seen from the most renowned wine competitions in
California.
Lions Peaks 45-year-old historical boutique Estate Cabernet
Sauvignon hillside vineyard is located in the Paso Robles AVA
and is a spectacular sight to see! When asked, Jennifer Arant
the owner, sommelier and winemaker, what makes Lions Peaks
Cabernet Sauvignon so special? She said, The old vines are loved
and nurtured. There is an eco-system that exists at this hillside
vineyard. We are one with nature. We have a great vineyard, and
the wine tells you this story!
LP specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet
Franc, Merlot, Bordeaux blends and dessert wines. Jennifer is
at the tasting room most weekends to talk about her wines and
how the eclectic labels were designed and of how she entered the
world of wine. For theUltimate BoutiqueWine Tasting Experience
