How do you do? This Nov. 11, the Paso Robles Downtown Association will feature its annual Elegant Evening—a night filled with shopping, wine, snacks, and good cheer downtown. Get in on free carriage rides, live music, minstrels, and live mannequins, too. No entree ticket or dress code required, although a fancy getup is quite festive this time of year! ... Condé Nast Traveler, a top traveling publication, has announced the results of its 30th annual Readers' Choice Awards with the Allegretto Vineyard Resort earning a top 10 placement for resorts in Northern California. The Allegretto Vineyard Resort in Paso Robles earned a total score of 94.16, placing it sixth among the list of 15 winners. Congrats!
