My boyfriend and I headed up the central coast to check out the Paso Robles wine area. We went to one of the smallest vineyards in the area. That's where I met my favorite winemaker. He's 81-year-old Charlie Poalillo, and he's a hoot. A former newspaper photographer turned vinter, he's now a happily-married flirt who serves up words of wisdom along with a KILLER 2004 Zinfandel.
If you ever fantasized about owning a winery, Charlie will be selling his in a couple years. Check it out on this video. And if you go there be sure to say hello from Val at KCET.
Here's his website.

Hi, Val. Just checked out your video blog. Love this one! If I only had $2M and could drink wine all day, every day........ Great to see a glimpse of Mark, too.
