Day Trips in Santa Ynez Valley

I had the privilege to be able to write a handful of articles about local wineries for this new Wine Country publication. Created by the same company as Wine Country This Month Magazine, this publication is only published twice a year and is distributed throughout the Central Coast and Los Angeles at several high end restaurants and hotels.
The goal of this publication is to present the reader with a companion to wine tasting that will give them the inside scoop on each winery while also recommending how to organize your experience in terms of each Day's Trip. I really like how this magazine groups the wineries together by region, allowing you to put together your scheduled based on where the wineries are in relation to each other.
This new magazine was already a hit in the Napa/Sonoma wine regions, and so far as I can tell, it's already doing extremely well in our wine country as well.
Here are the winery profiles that I wrote. To view the entire publication you can visit the Day Trips wesbite. Enjoy!

Wine Country This Month ~ June 2011 Issue

When I worked at part time at Sunstone Winery in 2006 and 2007, I worked under tasting room manager, Michael Cobb. He first fell in love with wine while working at Disneyland's Club 33 as the manager and wine buyer, and later came to work at Sunstone Winery with one of his good friends. It wasn't long before he yearned to start a winery of his own, and 2007 marked his first vintage, and only a year later in June 2008, he opened his tasting room in downtown Solvang.
Sort This Out Cellars is a pleasant diversion from your typical wine tasting experience and a must-visit on your next trip into Solvang.
