Rabbit Ridge

From Porter Creek, we headed down the road to try some of the wineries we missed last year. We passed by Hop Kiln, which is just as the name implies, an old hop kiln. We recommend stopping here for a good tasting and picnicking in an interesting environment. We continued down the road past Arista and De La Montanya, which are both very nice smaller production wineries. We made the mistake of stopping at Rabbit Ridge. The server there told us that they would be closing in 6 months but if you are around before that, just keep driving. All their wines are from Paso Robles, which is a wine region to the south that we actually really like, especially for their Zins. The server seemed almost bothered by our presence. The wines here are very inexpensive and rightfully so.
