I was waiting for it. I started wine tasting in Napa first, then moved out 
to Sonoma, then Dry Creek/Healdsburg - trying to move away from the crowds. 
Discovered Paso Robles back in 1997 or so and have enjoyed the wines and the 
region. I'm a member of Turley's club now.

It was a bit scary in the middle of COVID; we took a day trip down there and 
there were a lot of trucks with TRUMP flags, not many masks, many MAGA hats, 
and seating outside in restaurants was packed. We ended up not feeling 
comfortable dining and instead drove home and got take-out from one of our 
favorite local restaurants.

The attitude was that COVID lockdowns were based on emergency room and ICU 
sharing, and since the Paso area was in the same zone as LA county, it was 
"those city people" who were causing the lockdowns, not the locals. Paso was 
just fine. At least that's what the local paper said.
