A day is all it took to make me fall headfirst in love with Paso Robles, California. ๐๐ท๐ ! The diversity and quality of the wines I have tasted so far are truly impressive, with each tasting offering a new delight.
๐From the food to the wine, itโs been such a memorable experience. A visit to Vinyl Vineyards added a unique twist to the journey - blending music and wine in a breathtaking setting.
๐ดโโ๏ธCycling thought the vineyards with Vine Cycle tours provided a refreshing perspective on the landscape - and really allowed me to connect to the place.
๐ฅThe white wines in particular have so far stood out with their exceptional character and refreshing flavour profiles.
Paso, you continue to surprise and impress me at every turn. ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐ท Canโt wait to see what tomorrow brings brings. Thank you for the invitation.

Me. In the wild. Tasting some of Chileโs most iconic wines. ๐ท Recently, I had the privilege of diving into a tasting of the legendary wines from the Berlin Tasting lineup in Toronto with none other than Eduardo Chadwick moderated by Christopher Waters. I explored both the latest and older vintages of Seรฑa, Viรฑedo Chadwick, and KAI, most of which are now released at the SAQ and LCBO for all you fine wine lovers and collectors!
Want to hear more? Tune into โUnwined with Mandiโ this Saturday on CJAD800 for my exclusive interview with Eduardo Chadwick! ๐คฉ. Whether youโre a devoted collector or just wine-curious, itโs an emotional and moving interview that you wonโt want to miss!
