So fresh, so clean! 92 points! Tastes like Paso with the heart of Spain!

Bodega de Edgar comes to us straight outta Paso Robles (be on the lookout for their sister label Straight Out of Paso, too). It is the brainchild of server turned winemaking badass, Edgar Torres. Edgar and his family landed on the central coast in the mid-80s from Michoacán, Mexico and he has watched the Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo wine scene blow up since then.

Edgar has a passion for Spanish wines. With his Hispanic heritage, the Spanish word for winery or cellar, “Bodega” was the perfect name for the brand he started with his wife Erika in 2007.

Jeb Dunnuck said, “Edgar Torres continues to fashion rich, full-throttle Paso Robles reds that have a Spanish flair.” And his whites are perfect representation of what Paso’s hot climate can do for varietals specifically made for that kind of heat.

This is a story of believing in the American Dream. Coming to this country with nothing in hand, Edgar worked hard to save enough money to buy 4 barrels and experiment with varietals that excited him. Starting at 250 cases, Edgar now makes over 4,000 cases and is growing more and more each year. He also now has a vineyard and tasting room in Westside Paso’s Adelaida District next door to Law Estate Wines and across the way from DAOU Family Estates and Adelaida Vineyards. Those are some fine neighbors to have!

In the glass, this Albarino is bright and gorgeous. Profound flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest and bartlett pears dance along side beautiful minerality and subtle brininess. This wine will pair well with your whole summer. Seriously, imagine a hot day, a swing on the porch, and you living your best life.

And like the ‘Priorato,’ there is not much of this so do not delay!

“Very precise aromas of lime peel and white flower meet with a chalky, even ashy edge on the nose of this bottling. It’s bone dry on the sip and clings to the palate with flavors of lemon and grapefruit pith.”
