Summer at Pulchella Winery

The words “no rules” are not those that are usually applied to a winery–but Pulchella Winery is not your average wine producers.
Officially started in 2009 by Nate Hasper and Steve Lemley, Pulchella Winery has grown into a company that specializes in complex wines with big flavor. With “the bonding agent being an uncompromised and rebellious, stylistic approach to winemaking,” you can say that these Paso Robles wines are anything but ordinary.
Allocations are released periodically on the website, although a few are reserved for wine club members only. Wines such as the 2015 City slicker, 2015 Decorus, and the 2013 Red White and Blue are all offered online and in the tasting room. Customers have the option of buying the wine online with a simple click of a button and enjoying it in the comfort of their own home. Or, all are invited to the tasting room located on 24261 Main Street in the Old Town Newhall.
The tasting room has a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where groups of all sizes can come and enjoy a glass of wine. No reservations are needed if you are in a group of eight or less–and a heated patio is offered for large groups or private events. The room is typically open from Thursday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., but as hours do vary it is best to call ahead to see the current hours.
Pulchella always has a “Monthly Offering” where the winemakers choose one wine based on taste/the season and offer a bottle and case discount. The “Monthly Offering” for July is a 2015 City Slicker – 59 percent Zinfandel, 41 percent Petite Sirah.
“Our winemakers chose the 2015 City Slicker because it’s the perfect BBQ/patio red for the summer. Its fruit forward, smooth and pairs with all things BBQ and summer!” says assistant winemaker and operations manager, Joey Perry.
To become a part of this wine revolution you can subscribe to the Pulchella Winery newsletter to receive winery updates, announcements and other news. You can also join the platinum wine club which allows you to gain exclusive access to your own members-only page, six to eight bottles of wine each allocation twice a year, 20 percent off all orders and 30 percent off all case orders. The allocations are customizable by you online or in the tasting room. There are certain wines that are member specific and members have top priority when it comes to reserving wines.
