Today I popped into Burbank Ranch Winery and Bistro located in downtown Paso Robles on Park Street. I had the pleasure to speak with one of the owners, Melody Burbank, who was kind enough to show me around impromptu. They have a low key bistro, great chef and a wine tasting bar in a pleasant space. I remarked to Melody that I love the fact that they expertly pair food with wine. She cracked a smile and guided me over to a sign perched on the corner of their wine bar. On it is displayed a quote from a winemaker – Fred Burbank, her husband, that reads “No winemaker ever set out to craft a wine that pairs well with oyster crackers”.
