This is going to be FUN! Joining me live by phone are two of the guys that make McPrice Myers wines in Paso Robles, McPrice “Mac” Myers the legend and his partner in wine Billy Grant.
McPrice ‘Mac’ Myers has been crafting high-expression wines of balance, value, and place since 2002.
A lifelong, self-proclaimed “food and wine geek,” Mac was a quick study and almost immediately had the press lauding his wines from near and far. His passion for unique sites in Paso Robles and California’s Central Coast, combined with his meticulous attention to detail in the cellar, result in stunning wines that more than live up to the hype.
“CALIFORNIA NEEDS MORE OF THESE WINES IN THE MARKETPLACE” – ROBERT PARKER
“MYERS SOURCES FRUIT FROM SOME OF THE MOST RENOWNED VINEYARDS IN THE CENTRAL COAST AND HIS WINES, WHICH ARE PRETTY DELICIOUS SOON AFTER RELEASE, OFFER EXCELLENT VALUE” -VINOUS
The Estate Vineyard is home to over 25 acres of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Viognier, Cinsaut, Counoise, Tannat, Zinfandel and Grenache Blanc. We are located in the East/West Adelaida corridor, where the Pacific Ocean’s influence provides for cool nights, even ripening, and a very long growing season. The hillside blocks are quite steep, with the slopes ranging in incline from 25 to 50 degrees, and with elevations from 1500 to 2000 feet. McPrice Myers is on Facebook & Instagram
We will be tasting a few of Mac’s wines during the show, grab these wines at Jacob Liquor Exchange on N. Rock Road and joins us! Tell ’em GoodLifeGuy sent ya!
