So this is the second year for the Paso Robles Slow Bowl. Unfortunately, Chris and I missed out last year but when we heard about the great time had by all, we knew we had to go this year. Shannon has worked out an incredible itinerary for us, check it out:

Friday: Gathering at the house – mac and cheese cook-off

I think everyone is scheduled to arrive around 6:00 for a mac and cheese cook-off (I’m making a vat of chili in case anyone wants some chili-mac – plus it’s a little easier on the WW points than the mac and cheese). I imagine there will be much chilling, and socializing throughout the evening.

Saturday

10:30 coffee and pastries at the cottage
11:30 Trolley Pickup at the cottage
11:45 Trolley Pickup at the Melody Ranch
12:00 – 1:00 Castoro Cellars (rumor has it they make a fantastic tempranillo)
Trolley riders – the trolley will drop you off and pick you up at all of the next three stops. Drivers – I will bring some maps for you.
1:30 – 1:50 arrival at Tablas Creek more wine tasting – yum.
2:30 – 2:50 pickup at Tablas Creek
3:30 Trolley drop off at the cottage
4:30 – 5:30 book swap at the Melody Ranch (I think we’re going to pass on this and veg)
6:00 party at the cottage

Sunday

10:00 brunch at Artisan
1:00 Wine tasting at Justin Winery
3:00 – ? Super Bowl/Veranda sitting at the Paso Robles Inn for whoever is interested. The veranda is a fairly football free zone, while the bar just inside has all your big screens and yelling. I was going to hang in the football free zone but now that the Giants are in….

Monday
Chris and I hit the road for the journey back to SFO and our flight home. Sounds pretty cool doesn’t it?
