Be delighted at Bella Luna
Walk and sip: Stroll through the vineyard on a lovely winter day in Paso Robles and you’ll wonder if it’s always this warm this time of year (yes, it is!). At Bella Luna, you can give or gift a vineyard walk and wine tasting that centers around on just how dry farming makes for fantastic fruit, concentrating the flavors in your glass naturally. During the tour’s sit-down tasting portion, you’ll find out how this small, family winery has continued to create unique red and white varietals sourced from a very special ten acre estate nestled in the Templeton Gap District for more than 20 years. Come curious and leave delighted!
The spice of life: Sumptuous spices have a way of bringing us all back to the holidays of yore. This winter, why not jump-start those nostalgic memories with an incredible spice and cabernet sauvignon pairing from Allegretto Wines? This gift-ready pack includes one bottle of 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from the winery’s Willow Creek Vineyard and a lovely glass spice bottle filled to the brim with mixed peppercorns, allspice, garlic, shallot, porcini, and espresso sea salts. You or your loved one can use the seasoning to spice up mushrooms, marinades, and dry rubs (always knowing that the dish will pair perfectly with the wine). Consider this gift totally fool proof!
All that glitters isn’t gold: In fact, it might just be Pasolivo’s Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a gift-giving tradition here in Paso Robles Wine Country. It’s true: The Mediterranean climate we enjoy in Paso Robles is fabulous for growing wine grapes as well as olives—and we have the most delicious oils to prove it! This holiday season, give the gift of this award winning EVOO blend, known for its complex flavors, grassy freshness and peppery finish. An exceptional dipping oil, you and your loved ones will be drizzling this stuff all over over steak and roast potatoes all winter long!

This holiday season, thank your generous pal for bringing everyone together with a trio of wines sure to delight any entertainer. Seven Oxen Estate Wines has combined a trio offeast-worthy wines that can easily take the home chef from turkey and ham to duck and roast beast: Savor Seven Oxen Rosé, a great choice for a pre-dinner apéritif yet bold enough to serve with dinner; Seven Oxen Cassidy, which sings when paired alongside earthy, rich, umami flavors; and Seven Oxen Zinfandel, known to amplify those holiday spices galore.
