Re: Seeking Local Advice
Auntie is sooo right. She makes so many good points.
Here's a recent, minor experience: on my drive back from a short Los Angeles vacation last week, I stopped off at a Paso Robles winery, near Hwy 46 / Hwy 101. Three workers served several other tasters, who arrived after I did, at the small tasting bar and ignored me for a long time. While easy to do, I won't assume that my being ornamental had anything to do with this uncomfortably long delay.
Still, I ended the $10 tasting of its red wines by purchasing a couple of $35 bottles of cabs. Now, I know there are other reputable wineries along Hwy 46, but would have missed this delicious cab had I left.
Advice (appropriate, even if from the mainland): You just roll with the punches. Most times, like this one, it's worth it.
