Wine Spectator “Pick of the Month”

So to our surprise, Wine Spectator has named Caliza as their “Pick of the Month.” We are so flattered our heads are spinning. There are so many incredible wineries out there, not to mention the amazing ones right here in Paso Robles, so for this honor to be bestowed on us is just mind blowing.

You have to be a subscriber to see the whole article, but here’s what they had to say:

“One of the newest players in west Paso, Caliza is already producing a short list of impressive red and white blends from an area known as Templeton Gap. The winery’s name, Spanish for limestone, is a nod to the soils that dominate the area. Entrepreneur Carl Bowker launched a second career in 2002 when he began studying viticulture and enology. He then planted 20 acres of vines in the south-facing hills of west Paso. There’s a Rhône white blend called Kissin’ Cousins and a Rhône red blend, Azimuth; both layer complex and intense fruit with crisp and earthy minerality. The tasting room is a stylish den where you’re likely to find Bowker and his wife, Pam, pouring. ”

So a big huge “Thank You” to the folks at Wine Spectator, we sure appreciate this.
