Discovering Magic: Why I Love Road Trips in 2024

December 25, 2024 by Deborah GilbertLeave a Comment

October 26, 2024 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Paso Robles, you know it: that quaint, semi-rustic town you stop at for a bite and a glass of wine on your drives between LA and San Francisco. Well, in between drives, Paso Robles has grown up, and in the best of ways. These days, Paso is more of a first (though less expensive) cousin of Napa’s St. Helena—you’ll definitely want a second glass of wine. And you’ll want to stay a spell. The town retains its California Western feel, but now … [Read more...]
