Arthur Earl Winery

My favorite wine from Arthur Earl is the Zinfandel but I enjoyed all the wine here. There was a five dollar charge to do the wine tasting but it was well worth it because of the great conversations and knowledge I learned from all of the employees. It is right in the town of Los Olivos.

My husband and I both really like their variety of reds, especially the Zinfandel and their Barbera. They also have a very nice Viognier and red blends such as one of my favorites, IL RE, which is a blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo. At one point we were members of 6 wine clubs in the SB area but this is the only one we have not canceled. They allow free tastings for us and up to 6 others as part of the membership. You can also taste certain wines for nothing at their sister winery right next door, Alexander & Wayne.

A group of six ladies, all in our early 30's, visited Los Olivos for the weekend. We rented a beautiful cottage and had a wonderful time, except for our visit to the Arthur Earl tasting room. A young woman in the tasting room was so eager to close (even though it was 5:30 and the room closed at 6) that she was sarcastic and down right nasty. We ended up leaving before even finishing our tasting because of her condescending attitude. Too bad... it's difficult to appreciate the wine when the atmosphere is toxic. There are too many great tasting rooms in Los Olivos to waste your time on this one.
