Fortunately my neck feels much better. If you're in LA, I'd have to say that the Paso Robles wine country is right about smack-dab between where you are and where I am. Cambria is a lovely area to visit, but there aren't any wineries nearby - assuming you're going to be visiting a winery or two when you're in the area. But as for Paso, the general rule of thumb is to visit wineries on the west side of Highway 101 if you like Burgundian-style wines, and try the east side of 101 if you like Bordeaux-style wines. If you visit Cambria then head east over Highway 46, you might visit York Mountain Winery and Turley Wine Cellars on the west side; try Eberle, Robert Hall, Chumeia and Tobin James on the east side. All are on or near the highway. Enjoy your visit! In fact, subscribers to Winehiker Witiculture would no doubt love to read a report of your experience -- just reply to this comment! Much obliged, winehiker It’s very nice of you to write, Alyson! Fortunately my neck feels much better.

I just found your blog while surfing at work (I'm the content editor for a new Web site called thisnext.com that doesn't launch until August). I've been looking into a Paso Robles/Cambria area weekend trip and will comb through your blog to see if you recommend anything there. What you're doing on your blog is such a unique nexus between the sports and culinary worlds. I'm sure lots of enthusiasts from both worlds can enjoy your point of view. Thanks!
