For those lucky enough to venture to Paso Robles, you will be rewarded with scores of delightful wineries and restaurants. Peachy Canyon, a long time favorite, continues to thrive while the exquisite new Niner Wine Estates is destined to be a culinary destination with its demonstration kitchen. The most amazing find of this trip, however, was Artisan Restaurant. From the delicious starter of burrata with peaches, prosciutto, smoked almonds and chervil to two other courses which inspired me to create the dishes for this evening’s dinner. Roasted artichokes, fava beans and fingerling potatoes with goat cheese and butter and seared halibut crowned with shrimp and cherry tomatoes absolutely melt in your mouth. The gifts of inspiration!
