Zins have more fun: Mark your calendars for March 16 through 18, when Vintage Paso Zinfandel Weekend uncorks across Paso Robles. This three-day celebration features more than 100 wineries, a zin seminar, and the Z After Party, pairing zinfandel with live jazz (go to pasowine.com for tickets and details) ... Rangeland Wines has opened a new tasting room at 225 Main St. in Templeton! Known for bold reds (and grass-fed beef raised on their scenic ranch property), Rangeland is all about the intersection of cowboy country and wine country! Δ
