Kelsey See Canyon Winery // Zeus the red lab Apple Rosé Not only are peacocks welcome here, but as they won “SLO’s best dog-friendly winery” this year, dogs are just as common. Winemaker Jac Jacobs and his assistant, Joey Roedl, always have their loyal pooches, Oden and Zeus, by their sides. Oden is a great Pyrenees from a Paso sheepherding line. His big physique is less intimidating because of his full body wag when he sees visitors. Zeus is a red lab that is incredibly social, as well, but rarely leaves Roedl’s side, except when walking himself on the beach. These two are so endearing—I just want to hang there all day. Dick and Dolores Kelsey, who once maintained tugboats in the current wine barrel room, decided to retire and start a winery. Instead of simply stomping grapes for wine, they tried their hand with the apples that grew all around the canyon, as well. This was the birth of Red Delicious Apple Rosé wine, which is quite different than a cider. After nearby Sycamore Hot Springs began selling the unique blend, it was renamed “Hot Tub Wine” by its guests. Fermented from equal parts apple and grape juice, it offers a taste that is difficult to describe. It’s just something you have to try. A touch of sweetness helps the fruit spring to life, while the grapes give it that smooth red berry flavor. It strikes a nice balance and, more than anything else, it doesn’t take itself too seriously and is just downright fun—like Oden and Zeus. Whalebone // Bentley // Cabernet Sauvignon When walking up to Whalebone, it is not uncommon to be greeted by Bentley, a three-year-old puppy—a lab in a bulldog’s body. The loyal, if not obedient, sidekick to the one of the winery’s owners, Janalyn Simpson, makes fast friends with visitors by asking them to play fetch with a piece of limestone that he drops at their feet. It is the same limestone that makes this area such a coveted winegrowing region. This winery is part of a 126-acre lot that Simpson and her husband Bob purchased thirty-three years ago when they asked a local winemaker for advice on growing grapes. The Simpsons loved Cabernet Sauvignon, so that’s what they grew. After rave reviews from friends, they decided to share this joy with everyone, and that is how the tasting room was born. The 2016 Estate Cabernet is delicious and features a great body. With a touch of Merlot, the cab shines its dark berry and spice taste similar to a Bordeaux blend. The Whalebone name is a fantastic reminder of the ancient marine seabed soil from which the vines now grow and get their fantastic flavor. SLO LIFE BEFORE YOU GO Want to bring your furry friend with you to a winery? Take a couple steps before visiting to ensure a great time. Call ahead to check their policy. Wineries often have a garden or patio space for guests with dogs. Always keep Fido on a leash and keep some waste baggies on hand. Bonus: be sure to bring along a bowl for water while you are drinking wine, just in case the winery doesn’t have one. Cheers! 90 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | OCT/NOV 2019
