Home made Mille Feuille. 🍰 🇫🇷 ・ Made at our new East Paso home by Raymond (Dominique's father). With raspberries from the Hollister farm stand in Santa Barbara.🚜 ・ And yes, it tasted as good as it looked! ♥️ ・・・ #frenchpastry #desserts #eatlocalgrown #locallysourced #farmtotable #pasorobles #californiawinecountry #veniceandvine

The Fableist at Pomar Junction. ・ Raymond (Dominique's father) and I popped by to check on the Almonds. ・ @fableistwine at their Pomar Junction tasting room have a bunch of Almond trees growing along the entrance way. Raymond loves almonds, especially when fresh. He'd spotted these trees on a previous visit and wanted to check on them. The Almonds were ripe, just touching them would have them fall off in your hand. A young lady from the tasting room walked by and said we could pick some if we liked, so we did! ・ Raymond, a Pastry Chef by trade, wants to use them to make an Almond Tart. I can't wait. 🤠 ・ The Fableist has great wine too btw, and fantastically imaginative wine bottle labels. And their new tasting room at the Junction is super cool. Great setting.❤️🍷 ・・ #pasorobleswine #pasowine #antiqueshow #pasorobleswineries #pasorobles #californiatravel #californiawinecountry #veniceandvine

The Three Speckled Hens are in Paso! 🤠 ・ This is a show for Vintage and Antique artifacts. @threespeckledhens have a show in the Paso Robles Event Center twice per year. We always go. ・ This time we "almost" got by without a purchase. But at the last minute succumbed to a great industrial factory lamp we'd been eye-ballin'. ❤️Pics of that when we get it installed. Dominique found an old doctor's bag she thought might work well as a purse, but decided it was too big. ・ It'd be great if @junkinthetrunkvintagemarket would come up to Paso for a show. Come on ladies, it's not much farther than Pomona!😀 ・・・ #threespeckledhens #vintage #antiqueshow #partylikeajunker #pasorobles #pasowine #pasowinecountry #californiatravel #californiawinecountry #veniceandvine

Now this would make a fantastic wine tasting room! ⚡️😍 ・ We love the "Boutique Hotel" style. Maybe not for everyone, but we'd enjoy hanging out in such a space.🙂 ・ We'd love to see more Paso wine makers "kick it up a notch" on the design of their tasting rooms. Many different styles would work, just make it fun, hip, and relaxing. ・ We also appreciate when California wineries embrace the local CA heritage in their winery designs. Reflect the history of farming (Farmhouse) and ranching, or go "Mission Style"! ・・・ #pasorobleswineries #pasorobleswine #pasowinecountry #pasowine #californiawineries #californiatravel #californiawinecountry #luxuryinn #boutiqueinn #veniceandvine

Beautiful handmade furniture. ❤️ ・ This is actually a display table in a retail clothing store on Abbot Kinney in Venice (Los Angeles). The store is @ragandbone ・ We love handmade furniture. Check out the custom whittled brass drawer pull. Perfect finish, even the flat-head screws for a vintage look. If you can appreciate details in craftsmanship then you will love this. ・ Abbot Kinney is a great street to peruse if you are into industrial art, design and architecture. There is a blog post of this neighborhood on our webpage, link in our bio. ・・・ #vintage #addicted_to_details #industrial #custommetalfabrication #customfurniture #handmade #westcoastlife #visitcalifornia #veniceandvine

Bottling Day at @midnightcellars. 🍷 ・ Our friends here in Paso have a small vineyard on their property. They have contracted with Midnight Cellars to produce their wine, small batch style. ・ This week was bottling time for the Chardonnay, and we went to watch the festivities. It was quite fun seeing the happy bottles going down the Bottle Meister mobile bottling line out to be boxed and palleted. And we are happy to report that the wine tastes fantastic. We got a case! 😀🙂🤠 ・・・・ #thebottlemeister #pasowine #pasowinecountry #modernfarmhouseexterior #pasorobleswine #pasorobleswineries #travelpaso #winemaking #winery #peopleofwinecountry #californiawine #californiawineries #californiacentralcoast #veniceandvine
