Sunday at Sunset's Savor the Central Coast

Sunset Magazine's

SAVOR THE CENTRAL COAST

The main events

of

Savor

were

held

Saturday and Sunday

at

Santa Margarita Ranch

about

fifteen minutes,

or so,

from SLO.

The location was

majestic

nestled

among

the oak trees

with

an

old

historic train

chugging

right

through the middle of the property.

I

get

why

Sunset

chose

to

hold

Savor

here

....

majestic!

You enter

and

get

a

Riedel

wine glass

and

this

huge

green

bag

(for grocery or farmer's market shopping)

goodies in hand

you can

start

enjoying

the event.

Fall is in the air!

I

LOVE

FALL!

There

is

food and wine

sampling

everywhere!

Really

good

food

and really

good

wines!

That's Patty

from

Corner View Restaurant.

They were

serving

a

delicious

Smoked Salmon and Arugula Salad

mmmmm

John and I

found a

Pinot Noir

from

Ortman Vineyards and

enjoyed the two delights together

h e a v e n

....

I

had to

put my

camera

away

in

order

to

taste

the

food and wines

(or get a third hand)

Then I came across

these

marvelous

little wonders

from

Windrose Farm

in Paso Robles

Grilled Shishito Peppers

with lemon

they were my fave!

great people watching

while

nibbling

and tasting

That's

Dana,

one of the

"twisted sisters"

from

Calcareous Winery

amazing wines

and

a spectacular location

I had a glass of their Grenache

There is

also

a

beer garten

with

Stella Artois

and Leff

and other artisan

beers

(incase you don't like wine)

There was

so

much

to see,

and taste,

and

smell

and touch
