"We've been coming to Paso Robles for a coupke of decades, but had never visited Turley. After seeing them featured in Food & Wine magazine, we decided to make our first visit
If you're interested in great Zinfandels, Turley is the place! We tasted seven Zins from different vineyards, and each was a new experience.
Some of their Zins are from the oldest vines in California. I would call Turley a hidden gem. The tasting room and grounds are pleasant and relaxing, with have indoor and outside seating.
Brook, our host, was a excellent and knowledgeable. She introduced us to the library wines that revealed the ageability of Zin. All I can say is mmmm!
We accidentally joined their wine club because of the amount of wine we purchased.
I recommend this spot.. cheers!🍷"
