BUSINESS By Chuck Desmond Out on the westside of El Paso de Robles, a bit off of San Marcos Creek Rd, husband Steve is the grape farmer and the wine maker and wife, Lupe, takes care of almost all of the customer interactions. Their two children are busy with school and shake their heads at how much one family can actually do. The two ranch dogs take their toll on gophers & squirrels. Christian Lazo began in 2002 and by 2006, their property, home and facility were all together at one 25 acre location on some lovely rolling hills. Steve and Lupe concluded they wanted to make really good wine, have a really good family life and really enjoy the area they felt they’d been blessed to own. That meant keeping all things in MAIN STREET from page 59 They pool their efforts to make every Saturday before Christmas a celebration of the season, beginning with the Christmas Light Parade on Dec. 7 at 7 p.m., bringing Santa Claus to town. Santa stays here until Christmas Eve, relaxing every Sunday at the Holiday House in the park to visit with children. His visiting hours are posted there. Then the volunteer force multiplies to produce the beautiful Vine Street Victorian Showcase on Dec. 14. Closed to cars between 8th and 21st streets from 6 to 9 p.m., Vine Street sparkles with Christmas wonder, attracting Santa and Mrs. Claus, the Snow Queen and King, the Grinch, and irascible Wonderful Wine; Great Fun; Darn Nice People ThE LESSER GODS OF WINE: Christian Lazo Winery J.

But, they also thought, “You know, we ought to old Ebenezer Scrooge for this very special evening. Treat yourself to the neighborly stroll in the pleasing company of beloved music and twinkling scenes, and along the way, rediscover the many ways an oldfashioned Christmas offers refreshments for the human spirit, complete with snow for playing and chestnuts roasting on the fire! A huge holiday treat for children is Main Street’s Victorian Teddy Bear Tea on Dec. 21, held this year in an enchanting new setting: the Paso Robles Park Ballroom above McLintock’s. Children bring their teddy bears to spend a magical afternoon playing with beloved holiday characters from 2 to 4 p.m. It’s a sell-out every year with limited seating; tickets must be at least try and see what might happen if we grew like the Big Dogs.” With that, Lupe opened a tasting room on 13th St. in 2010 and while she sold a lot of wine, it was also a ton of work to stick to the top-level plan. In March, 2012, she moved it all back to the vineyard location. Steve and Lupe realized that their niche truly was in being a Private Sensory Explosion. How fun and exciting it would be if their club members and the others who clamored for the yummy-good wine could share in the evolution and evaluation of Christain Lazo wines. With that, the program changed. Today Christian Lazo is by appointment and invitation and purchased in advance at the Main Street office. The cost is $7 for children, $15 for adults.
