I recently went to the Allan Hancock College Winery for the first time with my SO. Great wines…read morewith great service. The wines themselves are excellent and easily compete with Santa Maria's other offerings. I tried all of the wines on their tasting flight, and it's nice to see that the college grows so many different varietals. Some of my favorites were the Albariño (bonus points for growing this varietal on site), Chardonnay, 2015 Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Malbec (the only non-estate offering). I ended up taking a bottle of the pinot home. The service is great! We had a first-year student helping us who was very knowledgeable about the wines and the enology and viticulture program at AHC. For reference, this was on August 17 around 3 pm, so whoever that was, major props to you! The current schedule for the Fall 2018 semester is Friday, 2-6, so make sure to stop by if you're in Santa Maria!

For those who haven't heard yet, Allan Hancock College now has a "bonded" winery, which means it…read morecan now sell the wine the students in their Viticulture and Enology program make. The school hosts tastings on Thursdays between 11am and 5pm in Room 211 of Building O on their Santa Maria campus. As a small-production winery, the students give the wine a lot of attention from grape to glass. The attention shows in the wine with some of them being astonishingly good and hard to believe they are the work of students. Part of the magic is that the students work under the guidance of long-time winemaker Chris Brown, grow grapes under the guidance of one of Paso Robles' most well-known growers, Ric Fuller, and enjoy the benefits of a program administered by the ever resourceful Alfredo Koch with connections throughout the industry and with UC Davis. The strong academic team and the enthusiasm of the students make for a great blend. (I couldn't resist the pun!) But seriously, the wine here is good and because the winery is just getting its start, the wines are currently all under $20, a great bargain considering some of the grapes are sourced from the donations of prestigious terroirs spanning the Central Coast. Plus, you'll be supporting students on their path to careers in viticulture and wine making!

Guess who had it. Yes Liquor Emporium. This year I was looking for Chocolate since it came out over a month ago. I knew I would find it at Liquor Emporium. I was right and they had it. Every trip home I visit my brothers restaurant the American Host for the best breakfast, then liquor Emporium to buy my dad a bottle of whiskey and then evergreen cemetery. Thank you liquor emporium for always having what I am looking for so I can celebrate my fathers life who was taken from us early due to Agent Orange he was exposed to in Vietnam. His 21 years in the USAF was a great service to our country.
