One of my friends is an avid birder. Her fascination combines a love of the outdoors with an almost scientific study of native and migrating species. She views them, records their numbers, and (with the aid of her expert’s gear) produces beautiful photographs. She also appreciates fine wine. So why not enjoy an adventurous day that combines sighting the local bird life with a visit to one of Paso Robles’ exceptional wineries?
After a much-needed eye-opening cappuccino and fresh-baked croissant at Amstrdm (in downtown Paso Robles) we headed out. Guided by a tip from a local, our destination was the Calcareous Vineyard. He said it would be the perfect spot to go birding and wine-tasting.
