Morro Bay Close-ups: Around the Bay

Harvest Wine Fest
 
At the Harvest Wine Fest in Paso Robles each October, wineries offer tasting, eating, music, and more
 
Penman Springs Winery is one of our favorites for their wine, food, and friendly owners
 
Dick and Jan joined us this year . . . we tasted artisan olive oils at Clautiere Vineyards
 
Outdoor art at Clautiere
 
Even the fences are artistic at Clautiere
 
Now, this was a real find this year -- River Star Vineyards! Their tasting room wasn't finished, so they shuttled folks up the hill to their home. Fine wine, fine food, fine music, and fine views.
