Grads to Grapes: Cal Poly Grads Influencing the Wine Industry
David Beress, a recent Cal Poly grad, explains how a Cal Poly degree prepared him to work as a winemaker at Still Waters Vineyards in Paso Robles.
American Winemaker Series: Tegan Passalacqua
The heritage of California wine unfurls across its benchlands as an encyclopedic array of gnarly old vines. They tell the stories of pioneering immigrants – and, in turn, the stories of their homelands. They quietly stand, many in plain sight, speaking of terroir in a time before appellations. Few winemakers have been as adamant in the defense of these living time capsules – and as progressive in sharing their stories – as Tegan Passalacqua.
A third generation son of Napa, but the first winemaker of his family, Tegan navigates the state’s diverse Zinfandel plantings as if they were in his childhood backyard (and some, more or less, are). He does so as the winemaker of Turley Wine Cellars, a title that falls short of fully describing the enormity of his endeavor. With an unwavering commitment to organic viticulture and the preservation of old vines – tenets of the Turley ethos since its founding in 1993 – Tegan oversees more than fifty vineyards in twelve counties, many of which are singularly celebrated in one of Turley’s some three dozen bottlings.
Tegan’s preservationist hunger does not end with his workday. There is Kirschenmann, a vineyard he owns in Mokelumne River, Lodi, which was planted to ungrafted, head-trained Zinfandel in 1915. There is the Historic Vineyard Society, an organization committed to the preservation of historic vineyards through education, of which Tegan is a co-founder.
And then there is Sandlands. A quiet project enwrapped in cultish fever, Sandlands is a rigorous and ongoing engagement with the head-trained, dry-farmed, own-rooted, old vines of California. It is a catalog of Tegan’s tireless study, a vehicle for his insatiable pursuit of a future for the past.

Flooding on 21st Street, Paso Robles, CA
The redesign of 21st street, which is still under construction, cannot yet divert the water flowing down the street. On Friday and Saturday the channel through the center of the street was relatively empty, while water flowed like a river down the street. It should be avoided by drivers.
The renovation of 21st Street in Paso Robles is underway and set to be completed this spring. The project will improve 21st Street and minimize storm water impacts locally and downstream.
The city has trenched the middle of the road and installed cobble stones. This area will carry run‐off water during a storm in lieu of pipes. The side slopes of the median will be planted with landscaping.
Much of the landscape along 21st Street will be specially designed to slow, clean, and infiltrate stormwater. These landscapes, called bioretention areas, may look like standard planters, but the surface grades (concave to fill like a bathtub), soil mix, and specialized plants make them high-performance landscapes. They are green infrastructure systems that mimic nature to provide flood control, improved water quality, and groundwater recharge within the structure of an urban street.

Adelaida Cemetery IN 4K - SLO County's Most Haunted Cemetery
Follow me and my long time friend and photographer Ian Thompson as we take you on adventure through one of our county's most haunted cemeteries.
Hope you enjoy!!!
HISTORY
The drive out to Adelaida from San Luis Obispo had taken about forty-five minutes. Driving west from Highway 101 through Paso Robles, the roads became winding and slow going. Located west of Paso Robles, Adelaida is now over-ridden with wineries, but still rich in history and the strange. Originally, a mixture of mercury mines, farms, and ranches, Adelaida was first settled in 1859 by James Lynch, a sheep rancher. The population eventually reached a size of seven hundred scattered throughout the area amongst the hills and valleys. The old trail to Mission San Miguel was opened in 1797 and used predominantly in the 1860s and beyond for the shipping of mercury. It is said that the mercury from the mines still runs off into the water supply, causing the wild animals that drink from the pools and lakes to behave oddly, driven crazy or insane from the high mercury content in their drinking supply. Rumors of odd behavior or suicidal actions on the part of the local wildlife are common. This is similar to the Mad as a Hatter stories of hatters who would place mercury in their hat bands, which eventually led to insanity. Only the cemetery and the school house around the corner remain of Adelaida. If the history is true, the name for the area came from the first settlers, three families of which each had a daughter named Adelaida

EPIC California RV Lake Camping | Lake Nacimiento Resort
Lake Nacimiento Resort is an amazing RV Campground on California's Central Coast. If you are looking for a good spot to do some RV camping in California, you should consider giving this one a shot!
Giant Inflatable Mat:
The campground itself is pretty big and there are several different loops. We were in Oak Knoll, which had full hookup sites so we were able to keep our AC cranked the whole time. That was good because it got pretty hot over 4th of July. The spots are pretty good size, but they definitely vary from site to site. Oak Knoll 707 had a good amount of space, but there wasn't much in the one next door, so plan ahead.
So nice to find some good California camping so close to home. We want to start venturing out more, but to be able to have so much fun with California RV Camping so close to home is nice to have in your back pocket.
The price is definitely reasonable, and to be able to not only be able to do some RV Lake Camping, but also have a swim lake that you can actually get into is EPIC. Highly recommend this California Campground, especially if you are looking to do some Central Coast camping or go check out the wineries in Paso Robles, which is very close by. There are a lot of RV Parks in Paso Robles, but this one has got to be one of the most affordable!
We jumped off of a bunch of different cliffs (and I am NOT into cliff jumping) and it was so nice to have our own cove right next to Oak Knoll. We fished and putted around on our inflatables and just generally kicked back. We also went down to the beach several days and relaxed on our giant inflatable mat, which is the absolute best buy on Amazon!
This is also a great option for camping with kids or if you are looking for a kid friendly campground in California. Again, there isn't a ton of amenities for the kids, but with all of the water activities, I can still call this kid friendly camping.
You are allowed to have fires, but you need to bring your own fire pit. The sites also have a picnic table and a grill to use as well. They were also flat, so we didn't need to do a lot of leveling! In terms of lake camping where you can swim, this is some of the best RV camping in California even if it isn't THE best campground in California.
Did a lot of grilling, snuck in a few adult beverages, and put a lot of fun memories in the bank in our Rockwood 2706ws. Every time we go out in this thing, we fall in love with it more and more. Super excited for the next trip, but we will definitely be coming back to this one again. Got that quality time in with the ones that matter most, and THAT is #WhyWeWork!
See you on the next adventure!
