ON THE COVERWINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKMilla, John and Maridel Salisbury, Jennifer, Kevin and Drake RucksSALISBURY VINEYARDSFarming in California Since 1850Genetic Code or Madness?by Jennifer Salisbury RucksIremember the early Saturday morningswith my Dad. I would pull on my“sodhopper” boots to prepare for a dayof farming. In the passenger seat of hiscream Ranchero, I would make him playthat Debby Boone soundtrack over andover. I was only seven and made up all ofthe words, but he didn’t care … and thatendless smell of ripe tomatoes still givesme a sense of comfort.There must be a scientific explanation forthe kids of farmers. I do believe that there is agenetic code involved. You inherit a stomachstrong enough to last through each bud breakand harvest, continuing regardless of theoutcome. I tried to escape the legacy (noweight generations of California farmers),thinking I was a “City Girl,” but that onlylasted until I had children and then realizedthat I wanted them to grow up the same wayas I did, running through the fields andsinging endless songs with my bestcompanion, a white Lab named Mich.In 1996, a month after I had graduatedfrom Cal Poly and had moved to the HollywoodHills, my parents decided to movecloser to my maternal grandparents on theCentral Coast. Avila Beach is where myparents met, fell in love and had their firsthome – so it was after all, a homecoming.Moving from his family’s Sacramento DeltaFarm was a stretch for my father, John Salisbury,but Avila was the only other place hecould live. Prior to the move, my Dad spoketo his longtime, Agricultural Leadershipfriend, Bob Steinhauer (Beringer) and askedhim where he would “put his money in winegrapes.”The response was fortunately “on theCentral Coast.” Dad did not waste muchtime, creating a custom harvesting companyand purchasing, developing and resellinggrape-growing properties (250 acres) at theheight of the Paso Robles buildup. But thedrive to Paso became old and the landscapearound Avila Valley became more interesting.This happened to be Avila Beach’s lowesttime, with the big oil cleanup, planning andredevelopment. But John had kept his eye onthe hillside off San Luis Bay Drive and therein 2000, he began planting the ever difficultPinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio andSyrah.Not satisfied with just having vineyards, inthe fall of 2000, John put some money downon an old, dilapidated schoolhouse, envisioningits glory at the turn of the last century.It was a huge renovation project, but heconvinced a handful of investors/friends tobelieve in “his dream.” Five years later after allof the holdups in planning and building weopened our Salisbury Vineyards’ Schoolhousetasting room in Avila Valley on May 7, 2005.Our opening wasn’t perfect, the countertopswere still made of plywood and mysecond born was only five weeks old, tuckedin a tasting bar cubby helping us charge ourfirst customers. The schoolhouse’s historyapproaches us constantly with those who“went to school there, squatted there, wantedto do something with that place or wantedsomeone else to do something with thatplace.” There is something ancient andpalpable in the schoolhouse and we are sofortunate that it communicates all our family’sdesires: family, farming, community, celebrawww.winecountrythisweek.com

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKON THE COVERCNDb (Oak Tree with Helper Cells) by John Salisbury, 47"x33"India ink, oil stick, paper, epoxy and urethane on wood paneltion and life.All of our varietals have won awards and our stored inventoryquickly sells out of our tasting room. There is usually a family memberthere to sell you our goods, and then if your timing is right, Dad willgive you a “Winegrape 101” trolley tour of the vineyard. We do haveour traditional side, but are experimental with our sustainable vineyardpractices, screwcaps and Pinot Naturale – our Pinot Noirwithout the skins. We are blessed to have our family, friends, anaward-winning product and world-class location in which we cancelebrate the best of farming and winemaking. This lifestyle isromance with an edge and it embodies the closeness and passion thatlets your stomach relax after the passing threat of hail at bud break.Come share the dream at Salisbury Vineyards!Salisbury Vineyards’ Tasting Room and Salisbury Fine Art Galleryare in the Historic Schoolhouse in Avila Valley, located at 6985 OntarioRoad (the frontage road to Highway 101 between the two Avila Beachexits); open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.www.winecountrythisweek.com

WINERY FEATUREWINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKRIO SECOVINEYARD & WINERYby Dave WilcoxWhen Tom and Carol Hinkle firstglimpsed the site where they wouldeventually establish Rio Seco Vineyardand Winery, they both thought the samething.It was a mess.They saw more than a dozen or so abandonedcars, remnants of a charred home, andchicken and pig pens. Then there were thebullet holes piercing the walls of an old barnwhere authorities had busted one of the area’slargest marijuana-growing rings.But as a professional baseball scout withmore than 25 years experience, Tom Hinklehas developed his ability to witness potentialthat 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 theroad much of the year, Hinkle and his wife, aretired schoolteacher, have developed RioSeco into a respected winery that producesabout 4,000 cases annually. Thirty of theranch’s 64 acres are planted, with a little morethan half growing Cabernet Sauvignon,Zinfandel and Cabernet Franc. Hinkle saidafter much investigation, he also decided toplant Roussanne and Viognier as the winery’swhite varietals. Rio Seco’s blend of Viognierand Orange Muscat is playfully named “RioVio.”The Hinkles, who live a few miles south ofPaso Robles in Atascadero, knew they wantedto stay in San Luis Obispo County even afterTom left his job in 1980 as assistant coach forthe Cal Poly baseball team to become a scout.Hinkle, an All-American catcher signed in1963 by the Detroit Tigers, is responsible forrecruiting future Hall of Fame shortstopOzzie Smith to Cal Poly.Some sound investments enabled thecouple to buy the 64-acre spread on PasoRobles’ east side overlooking a dry creek(hence, Rio Seco) in 1996. The site had beenused to make a B-movie called “TheJunkman,” which Hinkle said is why so manybeat-up cars littered the grounds.They were bonded in 1998 and theirinitial vintages were made under the directionof a consulting winemaker. But in 2000,the Hinkles purchased winemaking equipmentfrom Pesenti Winery when it was soldto Turley Cellars. The decision to buy theequipment, instead of paying a consultingwinemaker, was empowering, said CarolHinkle.They were now in control of their winefrom vineyard to bottle. Along with assistantwinemaker Eric Bauer (who pitched forHinkle at Cal Poly during the early 1970s),Hinkle began crafting single-varietal winesalong with blends with baseball-themedlabels – Clubhouse Red and the Rio SecoVineyard Paso Robles MVP Reserve Red TableWine.Hinkle scouts his grapes the same way heeyes ballplayers, looking for nuances thatdistinguish great fruit from good fruit. Likemost good winemakers, Hinkle believesquality wines are “made” in the vineyards.Once harvest is complete and the grapesare crushed, he isn’t one to tinker.“Start with good fruit (and) keep it simple”See Rio Seco Vineyard & Winery, page 23www.winecountrythisweek.com

WINE COUNTRY NEWSWINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKTASTEThe Revolution Will be Pouredby Mark StorerTaste transcends trends. It’s not what’sin, but what will stay. To have taste is tohave style, feeling combined withsense. Taste strikes a balance. And certainlythe winemakers of the San Luis ObispoVintner’s Association were thinking of thesethings, along with a few others, when theydecided to open their downtown SLO tastingroom called simply, TASTE.TASTE is unlike any other wine tastingroom to this point in America. That’schanging rapidly, though, as more and morewine tasting facilities adopt the Italian mechanismcalled Enomatic and install them intheir stores and tasting locations. TheEnomatic is a relatively complex device thatholds any number of bottles of wine, locksthem in place and provides them with needednitrogen so the wine doesn’t spoil. Along withthe nitrogen, the bottle is connected to a tubesystem through which the wine can flow –provided the patron inserts his or her prepaidcard – into a glass. The result is simple;patrons can simply choose a wine and pay anominal fee (around $1.85) for a one-ouncetaste (on Tuesdays at TASTE, you get twoounces for the same price!). Start by prepayingand loading your card with as muchmoney as you’d care to spend, and simplyhelp yourself to the wines of San Luis ObispoCounty.“It’s certainly user friendly,” says BeckyGray of The SLO Vintner’s Association. “TASTEis really revolutionizing wine tasting and it’sgreat to have been here at the start of it.”TASTE truly does belong in the hippest townon the Central Coast. The relatively smallcollective of 16 wineries in the San LuisObispo area knew they had to stand outwhen showing their wines. Most people don’tthink of SLO as Wine Country and TASTE isout to show them that indeed it is.Much like the cutting edge technology ofweb 2.0 services in which anyone cancontribute to the content of a web-page orInternet site, TASTE allows you to choose yourown wines, to experiment with your owntastes and decide which ones you likewithout being told what’s in and what’s not.Glasses of wine can be purchased as well asone-ounce pours. There’s an outdoor patioperfect for sipping, talking and peoplewatching. Inside the relatively small space,the walls are adorned with professional blackand white portraits of SLO’s winemakers andtheir families. There is no need for a largetasting room staff as pouring is your job andso there are only one or two people behindthe counter – fully versed in the intricacies ofthe wines you’re drinking in case you havequestions.TASTE is a way of life, then. It’s chance tothink about your own tastes, your owndesires for a glass of wine – and exercise themyourself. This time, the revolution won’t betelevised, it’ll simply pour into your glass.TASTE is located at 1003 Osos Street indowntown San Luis Obispo; open Mondaythrough Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. andSunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For moreinformation, call (805) 269-TASTE or visitthe website at www.taste-slo.com.www.winecountrythisweek.com

Vinegar-based dressings on salads tend to clash with mostwines unless the wine features a brisk level of acidity that stands up to apowerful dressing. In this pair of recipes for a Arugula, Kalamata Oliveand Tomato Salad and a Viognier Poached Chicken Breast, the perfectlypaired wine is 2006 Viognier by Carina Cellars because of its bright fruitinessthroughout and smooth, round butterscotch trademark finish of theStolpman Vineyard grapes.“This wine is full of tropical flavors with a distinct complexity and acrisp acidity that makes it great for food pairing,” explains Jody Brownell,National Sales Manager for Carina Cellars. “The chicken absorbs the flavorof the Viognier, bringing out complementary delicacies in both of them.The salad offers that fresh kick that brings all of the flavors together in amouthwatering finale.”With a dedication to canopy management, low yields and vine balance,the goal at Carina Cellars is a simple one: to produce top-quality SantaBarbara County Rhône wines that showcase and emphasize terroir aboveall else. The winemaking approach is traditional and minimalist. Thewines are rich in varietal flavors and aromas - Viogniers full of tropicalfruit and spring flowers, dark, spicy Syrahs and intense, blackcurrant-likeCabernet Sauvignons.The Carina Cellars tasting room is in the quaint village of Los Olivos,surrounded by art galleries, restaurants and boutique shops, all withinwalking distance.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKSANTA BARBARA COUNTYGet the Scoop on Poop at Discovery MuseumBird Dung, Tar Pits and Storm Drains Star in Three NewEducational Exhibits at Interactive Children’s MuseumNumber two is now number one at the Santa Maria ValleyDiscovery Museum with the launch of the “Whose Poop Is That?”exhibit, which teaches children to identify birds by the nature of their“splay” or, for lack of a better word that makes children squeal, poop.The exhibit joins Trouble in The Tar Pits and Storm Water SantaMaria Style as one of three new attractions. Each designed to teach,entertain and raise awareness in children of varying ages.Whose Poop is That?This new environmentally themed exhibit, supported by theCoastal Resource Enhancement Fund, explains all those bird droppingson your windshield and sidewalks. Visitors learn to name andidentify local coastal and pelagic birds; understand avian diets; andmatch bird splay to the correct species. Using the museum’s boatwindshield, or “poop deck,” as the setting, visitors learn that poop1McKeon-PhilipsTo San Luis Obispo(32 miles, see page 25)SKYWAYBLOSSERMAINBROADWAYSTOWELLCOSTA DE OROBETTERAVIA135Santa Mariacolor, shape and consistency all relate to identifying birds, as well asevaluating their diet and health.Trouble in the Tar Pits“Trouble in the Tar Pits” is an interactive exhibit hosted by Leander,an extinct American lion. Leander invites kids to recover and identifyfossils, learn about tar pits and associated animals. Children whochoose to take on the role of Leander must “feed” Leander whileavoiding the dangers of the tar pits. If Leander doesn’t eat enough of theother animal species, such as bison, or, if he steps into the hot tar, thegame will end. While educational, this exhibit also offers the chance todo some fancy footwork such as walking, leaping and feeding Leander.What is in your drain?“Storm Water Santa Maria Style” follows the path that water takesfrom the street in a Santa Maria neighborhood to Santa Maria areaparks. This exhibit teaches children that discarding old oil, cigarettebutts or other contraband into the gutter and down the drain can ultimatelybe harmful to our environment, parks, wildlife and loved ones.The Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum is located at 705S. McClelland Street in Santa Maria. It is the only hands-on children’smuseum in Santa Barbara County.
