As mentioned in previous posts, I am way behind, but trying to catch up! You may or may not recall that while JD and I visited Cambria in February, our wine guru,
Dennis at the Cambria Wine Shop, introduced us to a lovely red wine from Arroyo Grande,
Deep Sea. My very brief notes from that visit say "2008 Deep Sea Red - Andrew Adam is the winemaker. Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache. Yum. Big funky Syrah nose. We loved it. Bought 2 bottles."
Shortly after I posted that tidbit, I got an email from a marketing rep for
Deep Sea who wanted to send me some wine to review. Her office address was in Burbank, so I suggested we get together for a glass of wine. We met Elizabeth at a local Daily Grill for dinner and she told me about
Conway Family Wines of Rancho Arroyo Grande.
The Conways have created some interesting blends using grapes from what they have termed '
Maritime Appellations'. These areas include the Central Coast AVA, Monterey County AVA, Santa Maria Valley AVA, Sta. Rita Hills AVA, and Los Carneros AVA, all of which provide premium wine grapes to the winemaking community.
