In Greek mythology, Eos is the Goddess of
the Dawn. Today at EOS Winery in Paso
Robles, a new dawn is rising, and it is the
second time in the last 25 years that thewinery has experienced a rebirth.
Originally founded in 1983 by the Arciero
brothers two hardworking Italian immi-
grants who made their fortune in Los Angeles
construction the winery changed names
from Arciero Winery to EOS in 1996. The
name change at that time was both symbolic
of a new day, and reflective of the wide range
of changes made at the winery in order to
make it successful.
In the vineyards, in the cellar, in theequipment, in the pumps, the presses, every-
thing we changed everything, recalls Leslie
Melendez, who started at the winery in 1993
as a lab technician, and who is now head
winemaker.
Leading the sweeping changes at the time
was Kerry Vix, general manager at the winery
since 1992. And as a result of those changes,
EOS developed into a well-known, widely
distributed brand that has grown in terms of
production and quality ever since.
Today Vix is observing another rebirth
brought on by the sale of the operation from
the Arciero family to Sapphire Brands, a
company owned by entrepreneur Jeff
Hopmayer. Hopmayer first gained fame asthe soul source of all the bakery goods sold in
Starbucks stores worldwide. He established
Sapphire Brands to focus on wines and
spirits, and EOS is his first winery. Although
the sale didnt include the 600-acre vineyard
still controlled by the Arcieros, the 25-year-
old vineyard remains the main source of fruit
for EOS wines.
But it is whats happening at the winery
that is a new dawn a metaphor thats espe-
cially appropriate because it involves the sun.The winerys newest and most significant
project is a 2-1/2 acre solar field that will
provide the winery and visitors center with
100% of their energy needs.
This was one of the very first things he
wanted to do, Vix says of Hopmayers early
days of ownership. He said, Were going to
do everything we can to mitigate waste and
consumption of natural resources.
The entire system will represent a $3.5
million investment for the new owner, wi
20-year payback. But return on investm
was not driving the decision to go forwa
Vix explains, We want to be the most
cient winery and the most proactive win
in energy conservation. He hopes thexample will inspire other Central Co
wineries to follow in their footsteps.

also making the Top 100 list.
Their two most popular wines
are a Chardonnay and Cabernet
Sauvignon, but other favorites
include a crisp Viognier, a spicy
Zinfandel and several varietals
under their value-priced Novella
label.Winemaker Melendez is one of
just a handful of women wine-
makers in the area, and her 15-
year road from lab technician to
director of winemaking involved
working virtually every position
in the winery. I learned by the
school of hard knocks, Melendez
says, but from the moment I
walked in the door, I just loved it.
The wines can be sampled atthe EOS Visitors Center on
Highway 46 East in Paso Robles.
The large tasting room feels like
a candy store for wine and
food enthusiasts. Hand-painted
pottery, elegant glassware, cook-
books, gourmet foods, and picnic
items are abundantly displayed
throughout the 6,000-square-foot
space. The complimentary tasting
includes up to four choices from
the list of up to 14 different wines,ranging from dry whites to lush
reds, to sweet dessert wines.
For those interested in a
behind-the-scenes look at the
winery, there is a self-guided tour
that leads visitors through the
production area, with educational
signs explaining the winemaking
process. Once the upgrading is
complete later in the year, it will
represent the state-of-the-art in
modern winemaking.
The EOS tasting room is
located about five miles east of
Highway 101 on Highway 46
East. Its open from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. daily.

winery is available on their

Among the ever growing number of
wineries in Santa Barbara County,
Carina Cellars sets itself apart through
its dedication to top quality Rhne varietals
and blends. In an area known for Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay, there is a growing trend
among producers and consumers alike for
Syrah, Viognier, Grenache and Mourvedre.These are the core Rhne varietals and make
up the majority of Carina Cellars focus.
Founded by David Hardee in 2002, the
winery continues to grow and evolve under
the skilled hand of winemaker Joey Tensley.
Tensleys passion for winemaking dates back
to his childhood and his resume includes
many great wineries in Santa Barbara County.
His style centers around a minimalist
approach allowing the vineyards to speak for
themselves and show their true flavors.
Although small, Carina Cellars produces a
large variety of wines including vineyard
designates and blends. Currently Viognier is
their white wine of choice, and they enjoy
experimenting with new vineyards each year,
sometimes producing up to three different
Viogniers per vintage. In the future, they
would like to expand their white wine line to
include other Rhne varietals such as
Grenache Blanc and Roussane.
Their red wine line-up is much more
extensive and is sure to please everyone from
the light Grenache drinker to the heavy
Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah drinker.
One of Carina Cellars original ideas was to
source fruit from numerous vineyards on the
Central Coast to achieve a diversity of flavor
within their wines. They have stuck to thisand continue to find great fruit to make great
wine. They are currently producing five to
seven Syrahs, sourced from vineyards such as
Stolpman, Tierra Alta and Westerly. Beyond
this, they also produce small quantities of
Grenache and Mourvedre, and even did some
Petite Sirah for 2005.
Keeping with the Rhne varietal theme,
Carina Cellars has attracted a distinct
following for its Rhne blends. The most
popular is the 7 Percent which has been a
backbone of Carina Cellars wines since the
beginning. This blend is styled after the Cote-
Rotie region in the northern Rhne valley and
consists of 7% Viognier and 93% Syrah. Its
rich, velvety texture and subtle floral notes
produce a wine that is lovely and distinct and
pairs well with steak or lamb. The Sibylline
and Clairvoyant make up Carina Cellars
prophetic duo and are modeled after the
southern region of Chateauneuf du Pape.
With varying percentages of Syrah, Grenac
and Mourvedre, these wines offer a ligh
alternative to the 7 Percent with a soft
silkier mouthfeel and less tannins. T
Sibylline and Clairvoyant are better suited
pork and duck dishes as well as a spicy ma
nara sauce or cheesy ravioli.
The nonconformist of Carina Cellablends is the Iconoclast. This is the o
wine where Carina Cellars bends the ru
and blends 67% Cabernet Sauvignon fro
Napa Valley with 33% Syrah from the lo
Colson Canyon Vineyard. This wine is tr
unique in that it combines two regions in
one and two varietals that arent typically se
together. Apart from following old wo
trends in a new world style, each of Cari
Cellars wines offers a perfect balance
acidity and structure, making every bottle
enjoyable as the last.
Visit Carina Cellars tasting room to exp
rience all of their wonderful wines. They
open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
located at 2900 Grand Ave. Ste. A (next
Panino). Tasters have a choice betwe
current releases for $10 or reserve and libr

After graduating in commercial photography from Brooks Institute of Photog-raphy in Santa Barbara a few years ago, Crist decided to reside in the Santa Ynez
Valley where she works a couple days a week at Stolpman Vineyards tasting room
in Solvang.
Over the years Crist has developed a crisp, clean style focusing on people as her
main subject matter. The lens of my camera gives me the profound pleasure of
taking the noble truth of a photograph and pushing the reality of its contents, said
Crist. Her current show will feature photographs from her series entitled Amore
Libre. Although each image begins as a digital photograph, after manipulation
Crist then handprints each piece using a technique called solvent transfer.

Winemaker Coby Parker-Garcia was a
third-grader in San Luis Obispo
when Claiborne Clay Thompson
and Fredericka Churchill produced their first
offering, 565 cases of Dry Gewurztraminer
and Dry Riesling, modeled on the fruity but
dry dinner wines of the French province of
Alsace.
The son and grandson of farmers, he knew
he wanted to attend nearby Cal Poly, but it
wasnt until his junior year as an agriculture
major that he noticed the local wine industry
taking off. I always assumed Id have to
leave the area to get a good job, he said.
Parker-Garcia was delighted when his
internship at Claiborne & Churchill revealed
a new career path, one that not only
resonated with his soul but would allow himto remain on the Central Coast.
Although he took viticulture (grape
growing) classes at Cal Poly, and later did
additional study in enology (winemaking) at
UC Davis, it was his apprenticeship in tradi-
tional European winemaking techniques at
C&C where he honed his approach to wine-
making.
What I learned from Clay and Nathan
Carlson our former winemaker was to not
manipulate the juice or the wine very much,
even in years when conditions are more chal-
lenging and its harder to maintain quality
and consistency, he said. You always let the
wine speak for itself.
How hard is it for a winery that doesnt
grow its own grapes to maintain that quality
and consistency? It would be hard for a new
winery just starting out, Parker-Garcia
explained. But this is the 25th anniversary
year for Claiborne & Churchill, so our long-
term contracts put us at the front of the line
and allow us to get the best grapes from our
growers, he said.
Temperature control isnt a problem for
the winery either, not with 16-inch walls
made of straw bales that naturally maintain a
constant cellar temperature.
The greatest challenge for the winery came
in the marketing arena. People still remem-bered the old sweet Rieslings from the 60s
that had large amounts of residual sugar.
Thats why we have dry before the Riesling
and Gewurztraminer in our wine names, he
said. It helps convince people they arent
sweet.
A number of wine experts are now touting
Riesling as the finest of the white grapes, a
true unsung hero. Clay was definitely ahead
of his time, he said. He and Fredericka
were language professors who frequen
traveled and lived in Europe, particula
Germany. Across the river in France th
were exposed to the dry style Gewu
traminers and Rieslings of the Alsace regi
and realized how great they could be.
With the sticky sixties wines onl
memory now, wine consumers are coming
the same conclusion. Claiborne & Churc

produces annually. Their offerings a
include a dry Muscat that is great as an ap

Decanting, the process of pouring red wine from its bottle into a ne
vessel for the purpose of aeration or separation from sediment haste
the mixing of air and wine and is usually a good idea when serving
finer wines. Besides the occasions when you observe sediment in th
bottle, the time to decant is when you have an aromatic red wine th
will get more expressive when it is finally aerated.
Have you ever felt that in the course of going through a bottle o
red wine, or even in the course of finishing just one glass, that the
wine improves over a brief amount of time? Thats because it is gett
an opportunity to open up, or mix with air.
Some people believe that it is best to decant every red wine,
regardless of age or quality. This approach certainly does no harm a
in most cases will bring the best out in the wine sooner. But most
wines today are made to be consumed immediately, particularly in
price range up to $15 a bottle. For these wines, aeration will probab
not make a noticeable difference. For finer red wines, with layers of
complexity from fruit and extended oak aging, decanting is a small
extra step that will add not only to the ceremony of wine enjoymen
but will most likely bring out all that the wine has to offer.Many red wines of significant age, and some young ones, will ha
a small amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle, or clinging
its side. This is usually a sign of an unfiltered wine. The sediment is
simply the natural residue from tannin molecules combining with
color pigments in the wine over time and settling at the base of the
bottle. There is no harm in drinking this residue, but it is not at all
pleasant. The objective of decanting is to enjoy the wine without
tasting the harsh bitterness of the sediment.
To separate red wine from its sediment, just pour the wine slowl
into a decanter that has an extra wide, round bottom and a long
narrow neck, and stop pouring as soon as you see the sediment
entering the neck of the bottle. You should end up with a few ounc
of wine still in the bottle. The unique shape of the container will
expose a large surface area of wine to air and start the release of its
fragrant aromas. Let it stand for at least ten minutes before pouring
into glasses.
Another way to aerate red wine before consuming it is to fill the
wine glass, or glasses, with wine in advance of drinking it. This
method works well when preparing to serve guests. If youre setting
dinner table about 30 minutes to an hour in advance of serving the
food, just remember to fill the glasses with wine at the same time.

Paul Hoover might describe himself first
and foremost as a farmer, but it is when he
takes his love for growing things and applies
it to the crafting of his award-winning winesfor Still Waters Vineyards that his true genius
is apparent. I consider myself first a wine
grower because Im passionate about agricul-
ture, but with winemaking I get to enjoy the
entire process, from growing the finest fruit to
seeing it to the end with the production of
great wine. I want to stay small because I feel
the hands-on approach allows you work with
the wine during the whole process and really put my signature and
touch on the wines. For example, its unusual for winery of my size to
make twelve different types of wine including five whites.
As a graduate of nearby Cal Poly, Paul initially took his degree inagriculture and entered the resort and restaurant business. The call of
the fields was strong, though and after a number of successful years in
that business, Paul and his wife Patricia followed their hearts and
bought a vineyard. The vineyard is located in an area with soils and
climate perfect for growing premium wine grapes. The ranch sits high
atop hills that slope gently from the north to the south, giving the
vines the perfect exposure to the summer sun as it rises and sets over
the El Pomar area. Light afternoon winds blow through the vines
providing good airflow through the canopy for proper ripening. As the
sun sets, the onshore winds flow from the Pacific Ocean cooling the
vineyard to night temperatures in the 50s. The 40-50 daily temper-
ature swings allow the fruit to cool at night, lengthening the ripening
process to intensify the flavor and allowing the seeds to mature,
providing proper tannin and flavors. All of these influences from
Mother Nature help create the perfect balance of Still Waters Vine-
yards estate wines. The setting is also perfect for people. If its a
glimpse of the magnificence of Califo
that you seek, the breathtaking panora
view of acres of lush vines and roll
golden hills available at Still Waters Vyards is second to none. This is truly a p
of unsurpassed beauty and many have ta
advantage of the setting for their weddi
and parties.
This is not your average tasting ro
either. Says Paul, My resort backgrou
drew me to this site because of the uni
opportunity to create both an indoor
outdoor setting for tasting room guests, which includes a picnic
underneath the 100-year-old olive grove from which we produce
gourmet Spanish olive oil. Tasting room manager and assistant w
maker, Kasey Justus, and her staff always provide a warm environmfor the guests. At Still Waters Vineyards you can truly taste, smell
witness the passion for growing things that has helped Paul
Patricia Hoover realize their dreams.
For more information call the vineyard at (805) 237-9231 or g

tions just come with a desire to let loose and sing! Steven Robertswill teach by rote five to eight original songs (no music reading neces-
sary). Steven has been nominated twice for Grammy Awards and is
known throughout the industry as an outstanding and consistent
gospel writer. He has been asked to give his workshops all over the
U.S. and abroad, including Japan. One of the most touching places
Steven has taught his Workshop, called Celebration of the Spirit,
was for the families of the survivors of the 1995 Murrah Build
bombing in Oklahoma City.
The Steven Roberts Concert will feature arrangements in the w
range of gospel music and special guest vocalists Dauri Kennedy
Victor Hurtado.
