• Paso Robles Petite sirah gaining fame

  Petite sirah is still a relatively minor player in the California wine industry, accounting for only about 1.5 percent of planted acreage, but it seems to have found a good home in Paso Robles. San Luis Obispo County has the state’s second-largest petite sirah acreage, and the vast majority of that acreage is in the warm northern part of the county.
