During one of my trips up the 101 during a torrential rain storm I wandered in from the storm to an amazing and comforting wine tasting room at Laetitia Vineyard & Winery. They had a beautiful fire burning in their fireplace and people were tasting wine and chatting.
Their shelves were filled with delicious looking olives, olive oils, and other goodies people enjoy with a good bottle of wine. They also had books, bottle openers, glasses and regional publications on wine. The women working in the tasting room were very helpful and after tasting a few of their wines I decided I loved their Estate Pinot Noir more than any Pinot I’d ever tasted. The Chardonnay was quite good, but the Brut Rose was just perfect.
Laetitia has a wine club that offers great membership benefits including 30% discount on quarterly shipments. 20% discount throughout active membership on wines purchased online, over the phone or in the tasting room: a few exceptions. VIP invites to Winemaker Dinners and parties, etc. Holiday gift in December Wine Club. Complimentary wine tastings. Quarterly newsletter, emails on sales and events. A birthday gift certificate during your birthday month.
So, if you find yourself on highway 101 in Arroyo Grande, California, take a turn into Laetitia for a pleasant visit in their wine tasting room and have a taste of their really fine wines, especially the Pinot and Brut Rose; you will be happy you did. Their web address is www.laetitiawine.com.
