ASUNCION RIDGE VINEYARDS - WINEMAKER EVENT - 2 - 7 pm, Saturday, 5 Sep 09 SPECIAL PRICING ON ASUNSION RIDGE WINES WINE FROM THE HEART will be the TASTING ROOM for the Philip Krumal, Winemaker & Owner of ASUNCION RIDGE VINEYARDS & INN. WINERY: Krumal’s label, Asuncion Ridge, focuses primarily on Pinot Noir, with a few other red blends that include Syrah, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Asuncion Ridge is located high (2000 ft) and just a few miles from the ocean at the southern end of the Santa Lucia mountains...a unique micro-climate well suited for ultra-premium wine. Warm summer days, cool nights, along with coastal fog that gently caress the vineyard, give the grape a longer growing season allowing it to develop to its full potential, al of this resulting in a wine rich in character and complexity. WINEMAKER: Philip Krumal, moved to Paso Robles in 1999 from Pasadena, where he was a real estate broker. Krumal and partner Michael Dilsaver bought a 320-acre property in west Atascadero and built a stunning bed and breakfast that has sweeping views from Morro Bay to Cambria. It wasn’t long after moving to wine country that Krumal started thinking about making wine himself. He always wanted to be in the wine industry, since he was really young, and wanted to have a bed and breakfast and a vineyard. He planted a 6-acre pinot noir vineyard on his 2,000-foot high property in 2002, and started making wine at Zenaida in 2005 |
