Tolosa Dedicates a
Space For Wine
and Cheese Pairings
Tolosa has announced the resumption of Wine and Cheese Pairing
as of June 7th, 2008. This will be the third year of this increasingly
popular event. In 2006, Tolosa felt that although every winery had the
opportunity to present their wine, few took the initiative to pair vari-
etals with cheese. “Learning about our wines is a great start – next
comes pairing them with food, so we offer the quintessential food
pairing; great cheeses that compliment our wines,” comments Bob
Schiebelhut, principal at Tolosa. Every Saturday from June through
September, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., guests can enjoy four Tolosa
estate wines paired with four artisan cheeses. The pairings are
presented in Tolosa’s “sanctuary,” Heritage Room, which overlooks the
surrounding vineyards. Here, apart from the “hustle and bustle” of the
tasting room, guests can relax and enjoy what we hope will be a
learning experience.
The artisan cheeses are typically purchased from San Luis Obispo’s
Monterey Street Wine Company, who offers a vast amount of choices
from around the globe. Prior to each menu’s publication, the manager
of Monterey Street and Tolosa’s Concierge, John Shakley, together taste
the wines and cheeses to capture the best possible pairing. “A good
wine can be great with the right cheese, but a great wine can be bad
with the wrong one,” quotes John Shakley. Each Saturday a different
list of diverse wines and cheeses are offered, which encourages guests
that have a great experience to return a different week and try all new
pairings.
This year, Tolosa has also added another option in the Heritage
Room, alongside the pairings. Guests can purchase a flight of reserve
wine tastings, including limited-production varietals, barrel select and
library wines. The reserve tasting will be $10 for the public and
complimentary to Tolosa Heritage Society Members.
Tolosa’s Wine and Cheese Pairings are located in the Heritage Room
at 4910 Edna Road, San Luis Obispo. The pairings began June 7th,
and last through September 27th, 2008. Guests can arrive anytime
between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for the pairing. Reservations are not
required, but recommended for parties of six or more. Cost is $20 for
the public or $15 for Heritage Society Members. For questions or
reservations, contact John Shakley at (805) 782-0500 ext. 10 or
jshakley@tolosawinery.com.

International Organization
Teams Up With Paso Robles
Winery To End Hunger
Urban Farming and Steinbeck Vineyards & Winery Launches
Vineyards Growing Veggies™ Pilot Program For Vineyards.
On Saturday, May 31, dozens of volunteers from the local commu-
nity pitched in to help plant approximately one acre of vegetables on
donated, fertile growing land at Steinbeck Vineyards & Winery
located on Union Road in Paso Robles as part of a new Vineyards
Growing Veggies™ initiative expanding Urban Farming’s mission to
end hunger. Steinbeck Vineyards will be the first vineyard in the US
to launch the Vineyards Growing Veggies™ pilot program and act as
the model to encourage other vineyards to participate in the Urban
Farming program across the country and worldwide. Vineyards
Growing Veggies™ is an expansion of the Urban Farming campaign,
INCLUDE FOOD!™ when planting and landscaping.
Using and teaching organic growing methods, the fresh-farmed,
locally grown vegetables will be given away to local area food banks,
volunteers tending the garden and families in need living in the
surrounding community. “My family is thrilled to be part of such a
great cause during a very difficult time in our economy,” said Cindy
Newkirk of Steinbeck Vineyards & Winery. “With skyrocketing gas
and food prices and the threat of food shortages from the use of food
for fuel, we are happy to help our neighbors in this community. In
addition, growing organic food through a community effort not only
nourishes our bodies, but it fosters a sense of belonging and builds
friendships,” she added.
Also contributing to the Vineyards Growing Veggies™ program is
the Farm Supply Company who is generously donating all of the irri-
gation system design plans, hardware and installation; Hometown
Nursery is contributing vegetable seedlings along with numerous bags
of grow mulch and Meyer Trucking will be involved in trucking over
4000 seedlings from Cal Poly to Los Angeles as part of the Urban
Farming Food Chain™ program.
Urban Farming was first introduced to the Paso Robles Wine
Region through the Winery Music Awards, a summer-long music
competition among unsigned artists that took place last year in Paso
Robles. Taja Sevelle, founder of Urban Farming was introduced to
Kathy Kelly, founder/producer of the Winery Music Awards at the
final competition last year at River Oaks Hot Springs and Spa. The
result of that meeting began two new Urban Farming initiatives, the
Vineyards Growing Veggies™ program and a blossoming relationship
with Cal Poly’s Agricultural School.
For more information, contact Joyce Lapinsky, Program Director at
Urban Farming at (323) 610-0798 or Kathy Kelly, Vineyards Growing
Veggies™ Program at (805) 434-5100 or (310) 717-8750.
