David Young is only a few years older
than the prized Zinfandel vines
growing on the steep hillside west of
Paso Robles where his Minassian-YoungWinery is located, but the 30-year-old has
already spent almost half his life learning to
make handcrafted wines.
Unlike so many other vintners who pursue
winemaking after succeeding in some other
career, Young knew from an early age that he
wanted to be involved in the wine industry.
Spending summers as a teenager working
as a cellar rat in Napa sparked an abiding
passion for winemaking that Young pursued
in college, earning a viticulture degree from
Cal Poly. Although he grew up in San Diego,Youngs parents met at Cal Poly and the family
maintained ties to the San Luis Obispo
County area for 40 years.
While still attending the university in San
Luis Obispo, Young landed a job as assistant
winemaker at Norman Vineyards, only a few
miles down the twisting road from where he
would later start his own winery.
Thats definitely where I developed a lot
of my love for Zinfandel, said Young.
Young said he initially envisioned himself
growing grapes and then selling them, but he
enjoyed the satisfaction of being completely
responsible for the finished product.
I liked taking something to completion,
rather than handing something off to a
winery.
Young is intimately involved with all
phases of the winemaking process, from
nurturing the vines to bottling.
I like being as much hands-on as I can
with every lot.
By learning his craft through years of
working in all areas of a winery, Young knows
the end result is what matters.
As long as youre making solid wine a
maintaining its integrity into the bottle, th
the main thing.
Fate and some heady real estate inve
ments helped Young become one of
regions youngest winery owners, insteadheading off to graduate school.
That was his plan, until Young was offe
the post as winemaker at Norman. It was
opportunity Young couldnt pass up. Afte
couple of years at Norman, the Beckett fam
put the old Peachy Canyon winery on
market. Young managed to buy the proper
thanks in part to those investments, a
produced his first commercial vintage
2004.
Minassian-Young opened its tasting roo
a year later and the winery is now produc
about 3,000 cases annually. The expans
tasting room and its adjacent deck offer v
tors stunning vistas of the vineyard and t
Santa Lucia mountain range. Its hard
imagine a better spot to enjoy a late fall aft
noon sampling wine.
The vineyard includes 10 acres of 27-ye
old head-pruned Zinfandel vines with n
plantings of Mourvedre, Syrah and Couni

grapes. The Zinfandel vines are
dry-farmed (theres no irrigation)
in the limestone-rich soils of Paso
Robles west side.
We farm our grapes with an
emphasis on quality and sustain-
ability, said Young.The Zinfandel reflects the
heritage of the west side, while
the Rhne-style wines that are an
integral part of Minassian-
Youngs program showcases the
varietals that are coming of age in
the region.
Young notes that his wines are
made with either estate-grown
fruit, or come from select vine-
yards in the region. About two-
thirds of the fruit used by Young
comes from other growers,
mostly on the west side of Paso
Robles. Blends are made with
grapes from a single vineyard, he
said, to reflect the unique quali-
ties of their particular soils and
climate.
We really try to maintain the
integrity of the vineyards.
Young said he makes different
styles of wines, depending on the
varietal. I try to maintain a
brightness in my Zinfandel.
Other releases includes Viog-
nier and Marsanne-Rousanne
blends. The winery also just
released its first bottling of
Tempranillo, said Young.
Minassian-Young which
takes its name from the
surnames of Youngs parents
opens its tasting room Fridaythrough Monday from 11 a.m. to
5 p.m. It is located at 4045
Peachy Canyon Road. Details
about its wine club and
upcoming events are available
at (805) 238-7571. A website,

Carmels Gallery 21 will be one of the few locations to present
Eyvind Earles watercolors, originals and drawings in a trav-
eling world-wide art show in the spring. Many of the pieces
were sold-out and will not be seen again publicly. Today, Gallery 21
displays over 100 of Earles vibrant color images that celebrate nature.
Gallery 21 lends a new fresh ambience in the art gallery world
with white painted walls, soft curved edges and arched doorways,
which bring Earles colorful works to life. The gallery is light, airy and
appointed with colorful acrylic furnishings by artist Haziza. This
makes the rooms the perfect backdrop for Eyvind Earles creations.
Director of Gallery 21 Ioan Szasz is very knowledgeable aboutEyvind Earles amazing life story, from his birth in 1916 to his passing
in 2000. Gallery 21 has been in Carmel since 1991 and relocated to
its present location on Sixth Street in 2004. This is the same store
that Earle visited and in which he wished to have his Gallery.
Eyvind Earles first one-man-showing was in France at age four-
teen. Earle created his work from his imagination and memory. He
used every medium, including watercolors, etchings, lithographs,
serigraphs, drawings and sculptures. A bio of his amazing life and a
book of his 833 Christmas card designs, some dating back to 1938,
can be viewed at Gallery 21. Earles simplicity, color, style and detail
in his artwork are traits that make his pieces intriguing and inspiring
to his collectors. His interest in the metaphysical, the writings of
mystic teachers and his need to express his visual images to fulfill his
being can be viewed in his art.
Artists Audrey Lynne Cook and John Cody are also on display at
Gallery 21. Cook is famous for her graceful and elegant horse and cat
sculptures. As her mentor, Earles influence can be seen in Cooks
work. Cook also began at a very young age and had a father who was
a jewelry and photograph artisan. Cooks works include scripts in
ceramic, resin, stone and wood. She also fabricates wearable sculp-
ture with gold, silver and bronze.
Artist John Cody became intrigued by stone carvings while
working on an archaeologists Indian tribal ground excavation. Cody
creates free flowing, organic sculpture that he personally quarries
from the serpentine boulders of the San Rafael Mountains. Codys
combination of his carving methods and choice of stone create an
appearance that acquires a life of its own.
Gallery 21 is located on Sixth Street, between Dolores and Lincoln
in Carmel. Ioan Szasz is the Director. Call for dates of Eyvind Earles
Traveling Show. Artists John Cody and Audrey Lynne Cook will both
be featured in their own Gallery 21 shows. For information, phone
(831) 625-1738 or visit the website at www.gallery21.com.

If youve driven over Highway 46 west-
bound, then you know Peachy Canyon.
The signs point to it and the Schoolhouse
vineyard that punctuates the rolling hills tells
you to whom it belongs. This was and is
Zinfandel country and Peachy Canyonwinery made a name for itself with the bold
flavors of Zin from its inception.
The Peachy Canyon schoolhouse is just
that actually, an old schoolhouse built in
1886 that housed the Bethel School. After its
service in the name of education, it became a
home and from there was transformed into
Peachy Canyons tasting room home. The
grounds are overseen by Princess, the 11-
year-old cat who was born on the property.
She greets guests as they enter with a friendlypurr or a rub on the leg as you head for the
tasting bar. The pale yellow walls, recently
painted, accent wood and tile flooring and
the quaint interior belies a very busy and
hard-working winery family and their
employees. The Beckett family owns Peachy
Canyon and Josh Beckett is at the helm as
head winemaker.
It is at the tasting bar where Peachy
Canyon shines, of course. Known widely for
Zinfandel from several different vineyards,Beckett also produces Cabernet Franc, Viog-
nier, Petite Sirah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvi-
gnon among others. Josh Becketts hands-on
style of winemaking gets everyone at the
winery involved. He takes suggestions and
hints from harvest workers in the vineyard,
tasting room workers, just about everyone
who comes into contact with the wines.
It wasnt always thus, however. Joshs
family was in the wine business, but he had
no desire to be. Running off first to San Di
to manage a surf shop, it wasnt until af
college and a hand in a few other careers t
Josh came back to make wine. Having do
so, Peachy Canyon now produces so
84,000 cases a year and has won countl
medals as well.
The open spaces that surround the scho
house are as inviting as the tasting ro
themselves. With room for guests to ha
picnic lunches in the shadow of a beauti
gazebo beneath the local native oak trees,

Carina Cellars welcomes Jules Reuter to the tasting room for his
second show, and the first of the Winter Art Series at Carina Cellars.
After 23 year as a Visual Effects Editor for NBC and Fox Network,
Reuter was able to hone his visual skills and develop aesthetic sensi-
bilities. Then in 2004, after retiring from network television, Reuter
moved to Guadalupe on Californias beautiful Central Coast, where he
currently resides as a landscape and travel photographer.
Reuter finds himself particularly drawn to the landscapes of Cali-
fornia, especially the Guadalupe-Nipomo dunes. Recently though,
Reuter has begun to explore other areas of the world for their natural
beauty, which led him to spend a month in Tuscany, Italy. The result
of this trip is Reuters current exhibition in the Carina Cellars Tasting
Room, a collection of photographs of the Val dOrcia, which were
captured using a Leica D-Lux II camera. Reuters philosophy as a
photographer is that your negatives should be as close as possible to
what you print, which is why he uses minimal darkroom or
computer manipulation of his images. The vibrant colors and stark
contrasts presented in this show allow the viewer to experience the
beauty of Tuscany, as Reuter witnessed it himself.
Carina Cellars Tasting Room is located at 2900 Grand Avenue in
Los Olivos. For more information check out www.carinacellars.com
or call the tasting room at (805) 688-2459.

Hands-on Education Leads to
Hands-off Winemaking at Carina Cellars
by Mark Storer
Carina Cellars is young as Central Coast
wineries go. In 2002, owner David Hardee
and winemaker Joey Tensley began Carina
and set up shop in Los Olivos. The success has been
notable and it comes from the right place: Great
wine. Carinas wines include many Rhne white
varietals and the Viognier is among the most widely
purchased from the Central Coast. Joey Tensleys winemaking education is of the
hand-on variety. But hands-on for Tensley means
hands-off in the cellar. No oenology degrees, no
university classes, Tensley started with Fess Parker
in 1993. Working in the cellar and running the
mobile bottling line gave him the education he
needed to begin an appreciation and understanding
of wine. Like so many winemakers, Tensley knew
that the best way to learn how to make wine was to
begin making it.
In 1996, Brian Babcock of Babcock Winery
and Vineyards hired Tensley as the assistant wine-
maker. I learned from Brian hands off wine-
making, says Tensley. Babcock stressed the
importance of the vineyard and his renowned
reputation as a thorough, focused and passionate
winemaker helped Tensley begin to learn to trust
himself and his own opinions and decisions.
Within two years, Tensley began to make his own
wine under an eponymous label while also
serving as assistant winemaker to Beckmen
Winery and Vineyards. Tensleys own l
produced 100 cases of wine, not quite enough
open a business on, but enough to give him
experience he needed.
I like to let the vineyard speak for itself, s
Tensley. I cant make quality wine from medio
grapes. Its all about the resources. Those resour
include the great vineyards of Santa Barbara Cou
and it is there that Carina Cellars made its home
Carinas award-winning wines have be
Tensleys passion for five years now and along w
long-time assistant, Lino Garcia, Tensley has mathat passion grow and thrive. Letting the viney
speak for itself has also allowed him to let his wi
speak for themselves. Tensleys old-world exp
mentation, like blending small amounts of Viogn
with the dark and bold Syrah grapes, has not o
won him lavish praise from sommeliers and w
critics, its provided wine consumers a taste of ne
world wine using old-world techniques. Fr
Carinas smoky and delightful Syrahs to the cri
clear Viognier, Tensley has crafted a niche of gr
wines at affordable prices in a stand-out fashion
Hands-on education for hands-off winemak
has made Carina Cellars a unique brand on
Central Coast and Joey Tensley may well h
perfected a niche that has been known for so lo
in the old world and the new great wine begins
the vineyard.

W
hen Tom and Carol Hinkle first glimpsed the site where they
would eventually establish Rio Seco Vineyard and Winery,they both thought the same thing: It was a mess.
They saw more than a dozen or so abandoned cars, remnants of a
charred home, and chicken and pig pens. Then there were the bullet
holes piercing the walls of an old barn where authorities had busted
one of the areas largest marijuana-growing rings.
But as a professional baseball scout with more than 25 years expe-
rience, Tom Hinkle has developed his ability to witness potential that
others might overlook.
He could look past the mess, to the site, and saw the promise and
so many possibilities, Carol Hinkle said of her husband.
That promise has been kept.
Despite a schedule that keeps him on the road much of the year,Hinkle and his wife, a retired schoolteacher, have developed Rio Seco
into a respected winery that produces about 4,000 cases annually.
Thirty of the ranchs 64 acres are planted, with a little more than half
growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc. Hinkle
said after much investigation, he also decided to plant Roussanne and
Viognier as the winerys white varietals. Rio Secos blend of Viognier
and Orange Muscat is playfully named Rio Vio.
The Hinkles, who live a few miles south of Paso Robles in Atas-
cadero, knew they wanted to stay in San Luis Obispo County even
after Tom left his job in 1980 as assistant coach for the Cal Poly base-
ball team to become a scout. Hinkle, an All-American catcher signedin 1963 by the Detroit Tigers, is responsible for recruiting future Hall
of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith to Cal Poly.
Some sound investments enabled the couple to buy the 64-acre
spread on Paso Robles east side overlooking a dry creek (hence, Rio
Seco) in 1996. The site had been used to make a B-movie called The
Junkman, which Hinkle said is why so many beat-up cars littered the
grounds.
They were bonded in 1998 and their initial vintages were made
under the direction of a consulting winemaker. But in 2000, the
Hinkles purchased winemaking equipment from Pesenti Winery
when it was sold to Turley Cellars. The decision to buy the equip-
ment, instead of paying a consulting winemaker, was empowering,
said Carol Hinkle.
They were now in control of their wine from vineyard to bot
Along with assistant winemaker Eric Bauer (who pitched for Hinkl
Cal Poly during the early 1970s), Hinkle began crafting single-variwines along with blends with baseball-themed labels Clubhouse R
and the Rio Seco Vineyard Paso Robles MVP Reserve Red Table Wi
Hinkle scouts his grapes the same way he eyes ballplayers, look
for nuances that distinguish great fruit from good fruit. Like m
good winemakers, Hinkle believes quality wines are made in
vineyards.
Once harvest is complete and the grapes are crushed, he isnt o
to tinker.
Start with good fruit (and) keep it simple is the philosophy t
guides his winemaking, said Hinkle.
The hard part of this business is farming, he said while walk
through the vineyard on a recent postcard-perfect morning. We re
work to get quality fruit.
Rio Secos red wines spend up to 24 months in the barrel, th
another eight months to a year in the bottle, before their release.
Road trips provide Hinkle with plenty of time to mull ideas for
winery.
Toms an idea guy, said Carol.
For the baseball scout, its all about the fundamentals: Good fo
good wine, good friends, all coming together in a beautiful spot.
Tasting room hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday throu
Monday. You can find Rio Seco Vineyards and Winery at 4295 Un
Road. Exit Highway 101 at Highway 46 East and travel about tmiles to Union Road and turn right. Make an immediate left and

More importantly, Lucas is famous for
bucking conventional wisdom and planting
more vines per acre using innovative trellis
systems including his signature GenevaDouble Curtain trellis to accommodate
specific varieties and introducing suckering,
hedging, thinning and leaf removal systems.
In 1996, Lucas joined forces with prominent
Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Royce
Lewellen, whose retirement from the bench
has brought him closer to his other passion,
wine. Resident Winemaker Megan McGrath,
who has assumed the day-to-day winemaking
responsibilities from Consulting Winemaker
Daniel Gehrs, combines Old World traditions
with high tech savvy to get the most from thegrapes. My job is to allow grapes to showcase
their natural characteristics to let them
express themselves, she says. The wines are
produced at a state-of-the-art facility in
Buellton, but L&L is in the process ofobtaining permitting for a winery on its own
property in the Los Alamos Valley. Currently,
approximately 20,000 cases of estate-bottled
wine are produced, with goals to double the
output to 40,000 cases.
L&Ls grapes come from more than 400
acres in the Santa Maria, Los Alamos and
Santa Ynez Valleys of Santa Barbara County,
each of which runs from the coastal moun-
tains west to the Pacific Ocean, promoting a
long growing season of warm days and cool
nights. L&Ls Los Alamos Vineyards alongHighway 101 in the Los Alamos Valley are
home to more than 20 varieties of grap
made famous in the Rhne Valley, Burgund
Bordeaux, Piedmont and Tuscany. Some
their vines were planted from cuttinbrought from Europe 25 years ago and the
vineyards have contributed to some of Ca
fornias best wines. The Valley View Vineya
along Hill Haven Road in the Santa Yn
Valley, slopes toward the Santa Ynez River a
the lower south-facing slopes yield some
Santa Barbara Countys most exception
Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc a
Syrah. The hilltop vineyards produ
outstanding Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Pe
Verdot and Malbec.
Italian-inspired Mandolina wines Cafornia wines true to their Italian heritage

pair innovation with affordability. Among them are Dolcetto, Malvesia
Bianca, Nebbiolo, Nebbiolo-Barbara, Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, Rosato,
Toccata, Toccata Classico and Toccata Riserva. Representing
Mandolinas versatility and innovation are its Toccata (a Super-Tuscan
blend of Sangiovese and Bordeaux varietals) and its success with
Nebbiolo, Barbera and Malvesia Bianca, grape varieties rarely
produced in California. Under the Queen of Hearts label, offering
exceptional quality at incredible values, the winery produces
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc.
The 2003 Lucas & Lewellen Cabernet Sauvignon Cte del Sol,
priced at $32, has won two Gold Medals and a Best in Class. An 8%
component of Syrah from the same south-facing vineyard provides a
spicy, slightly jammy note, while black cherry, currant and cassis
flavors dominate the palate. Lucas & Lewellen does a fine job with
Viognier, the classic Rhne Valley grape, grown on a small vineyard in
Santa Ynez Valley. The 2005 L&L Viogner, offered at $19, exhibitssubtle nuances of apricot, honey and grapefruit, balanced by a
pleasant spiciness. Mandolinas 2003 Toccata Riserva, priced at $32, is
another winner of two Gold Medals. This Super-Tuscan-style wine
blends Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet
Franc, producing rich and spicy notes of oak, wild berries and black
tea. Like the L&L Cabernet Sauvignon Cte del Sol, this wine can age
for many years.
L&L operates two tasting rooms which are open to the public. T
Lucas & Lewellen Tasting Room is located in the heart of Solvang
1645 Copenhagen Drive (805.686.9336), while the Mandol
Tasting Room is just a block away at 1665 Copenhagen Drive. (80
686-5506. Both are open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m., and until 8:30 p.m. on Friday in the summer.
