Anglim Winery

Stopped in on our way to the beach. I love it here. So cute and friendly! If you like ports and dessert wines they havw a good, strong one. I will be back!

Great and unique wines. The have a ZSM (Zin/​Syrah/​Merlot blend) which was very unique.

We came for the taste of Paso and when we arrived we were the only ones. She gave us a splash for a taste. Then white people came in she have a generous pour. I wasn’t tripping until the next set of white folks came in and got a generous pour. When asked to try one more only to get a splash. Won’t come back we left feeling upset and disrespected. Won’t go back or refer anyone. What she doesn’t know is we could have bought whatever we wanted and then some!!!

Great 2012 Bien Nacido Viognier that Steve has produced! It won our wine tasting! Epic, floral, and Down the Rabbit Hole of Wondefullness! He just gets better and better, and it is revealed in all of his wines. One of the things that improve with time and age (technology and dot com relevance Is irrelevant) is the craftsmanship and expertise of winemaking. Steve has evolved from the garagiste to the entrepreneur to Genache Guy to the Mouvedre Maven and many other monikers. (Pinot Professionale!) If there is ONE tasting room you need to visit in Paso Robles it’s the Anglim room at the train station with Steve and Steffanie. Nuff said! (Drop microphone, move to the bar, raise a glass, and celebrate the best Paso has to offer).

If we could say that there’s one winery that treats us like family, it’s Steve and Steffanie Anglim. Since they don’t own vineyards, their tasting room is right downtown (and it’s by far the best of that bunch). However, don’t let that throw you. Steve has cultivated long term relationships with some of the best vineyards in the Central Coast and consistently sources amazing fruit. He lets the growers do the talking in his winemaking and isn’t afraid to hold a vintage an extra year if that’s what it needs to express itself. Their Rhone varietals are stellar, their Fiddlestix Pinot Noir is legendary and their Zinfandel sells out every time. Be prepared to buy once you taste their wine.

Winery’s a short walk from the park, specializes in producing Rhone varietals and blends. Great wine tasting experience with Steffanie!

My favorites were the Cerise and Syrah and was pleasantly surprised by the Viognier but wine tasting is subjective so I don’t know if that’ll help anyone! Still I’d recommend this place.

The wines were good and the staff was very friendly and informative.

Love Paso! Love Anglim! Stephanie (sp?) lovely too. And right by the Amtrak, which my three year old loved. Wines were great and the tasting experience super. Took the 2011 Syrah and loved it. Definitely will be back next time.

Honestly, we would not have ever thought of visiting here because it’s in an area of downtown off the main block, and really never showed up on our radar. But our friend was taking the train back to Los Angeles and our B&B hosts recommended this as an excellent place to visit, so heck why not? We had 30 minutes before the train departed so let’s give Anglim Winery a try.
EVERY wine on the menu was delicious. We could have bought everything. Stefanie was a sweetheart and gave us all good pours and was happy to offer us a «re-​visit» on anything we wanted. Rhone varietals all from noteworthy vineyards. The Pinot Noir, I have to say, was stellar. A nice alternative to spending $ 70 on Sea Smoke or Kosta Browne, but belongs in the same class for sure.
Their whites had body and backbone but were well-​balanced and had nice minerality along with some creaminess (the Roussane blend). Loved all of their wines. If we weren’t in so many wine clubs, this would be a good one to join. They had a nice «case discount» also, and clearly appreciated their visitors. We did luck out by visiting on a Sunday after the Harvest Festival rush was over, but I bet this tasting room is lovely all year round.
This is a no bells and whistles honest to good winery and we would highly recommend. The tasting room is simple, sweet and small and not full of the usual over-​priced merchandise. Walls were decorated with canvas pics made by their daughter through the ages. Super sweet! Great, open parking lot, and a ten minute walk to the park downtown (or 2 minute drive lol).
Five stars! Thanks for a great experience.

Such a lovely tasting room a block or so away from downtown park, nestled in the bus/​train depot. A shout out to Stefanie the owner and our pourer, who was such a delight. The Best Barrel Blend was mine and my husbands .
There is a chalkboard, a magnetic doodle board and other little distractions for the little ones. We got to enjoy our wines, while our daughter was engaged. A real family friendly tasting room. We got to meet Stefanie’s daughter whose artwork is displayed proudly on the walls of the tasting room.

Such a great tasting room in Downtown Paso. We dropped in about 45 minutes before they closed and Steffanie was a fantastic hostess. We throughly enjoyed chatting with her about wine, Paso, and small talk in general. They also had some classic rock playing in the background which gave the tasting room a relaxed vibe.
Overall all the wines are well balanced and none were overly sweet. Even the dessert wine wasn’t cloying. We were able to taste a nice variety of wines; reds, whites, a rose, and a dessert wine. This was another winery where we left with multiple bottles and even bought some wines as gifts.
When we mentioned to Steffanie where we planned on having dinner, she had great recommendations for what to order, just having been at said restaurant a few nights before with her family.
Great experience here and would definitely stop back in.

Nice wines and cute tasting room. The winemaker’s wife and daughter were there and were very nice (and gave some great recommendations of places to check out in the area). Our favorite was the desert wine.

We came in Sunday afternoon right before wife of wine maker. Her name is Stephanie. Very nice and her wine is delicious. Really enjoyed her whites. Viognier. A flight was only 5 bucks. All great wines. You can find this wine at local restaurants in town.

At Anglim tasting room our wines were poured by the proprietor, which made it very special. She is a wonderful person with a wealth of information on the wines of Paso! The warmth of a family operation is special these days. Not to be missed!

Great whites here =)
100% Viognier tastes smooth & yummy ;-)
Cameo central coast 2008 had a yummy fruity peachy after taste. =)
This would taste great w salads/​seafood.
Service was warm & welcoming ;-)
FYI, you should call ahead to RSVP if you want to stop by for tastings =)

The woman who led my groups wine tasting was very friendly. The wine was delicious; I ended up buying a bottle of the Rose, but would have bought any of the bottles of white wine. I would love to visit here again!

I mainly came to this Winery because during the summer,
I met the wine makers wife during an art in the park event that Paso Robles has every First Saturday in the summer, so I had free tasting passes.
I finally used the free tasting passes and fell in love.
Not only is Sofia Anglim a great hostess, but she is super sweet and willing to answer any questions you have about the wines they have.
Their after dinner wine (which is a port style) was my favorite.
The tasting room is located right by the train station.
I can’t wait to go back.

This was our last stop on a quick wine tasting tour through Paso on our way up to SF for a wedding, and we really did save the best for last. Our friends who have been to Paso many times and are big wine snobs had taken us to all their favorite wineries earlier in the day, but had heard good things about this one and so took us here as well. And I have to say I liked it the most out of the five we stopped at.
The owner, Steffanie, was our pourer, and she was fantastic. She was so friendly and really gave us great attention (it could have been due to the fact that we were the only ones in there, but it was also 30 minutes before closing and she didn’t try to rush us at all). Since I had to drive, I split a tasting with my boyfriend, and she let us try all the wines on the tasting menu instead of just six. I loved so many of the bottles, it was hard to decide what to buy (and I also was kicking myself for not coming here first because I would have much rather spent more money here than at some of the other wineries we went to earlier and bought mediocre wine at).
I loved the Red Five Blend, the Cabernet Sauvignon, the Cerise, the Grenache, and the Mourvèdre — all really delicious, very complex, very smooth red wines. We heard their Syrah is amazing but unfortunately they were out. I thought the bottles were incredibly well priced compared to what other wineries were charging for crappier wine.
The building is also super quaint — not a big property with rolling hills of vines, but it’s located in the same building as the train station near the center of downtown Paso.
I will definitely be stopping here on my drive home for Thanksgiving!

We stayed at the Marriott and decided to do a walking wine tour through town. Started here at Anglim and they were great. Super friendly woman behind the counter (Ms Anglim) and she served up lots of very good wines. Got to try a few off the menu including a Zin to be released next week for wine fest. We bought as much as we could carry but hey, I need the excercise.

2006 Cameo — White Rhone Blend
2006 Cerise French Camp Vineyard — Red Rhone Blend
2006 Grenache
2004 Syrah
2005 Cabernet Franc Paso del Sol
2006 Petite Syrah French Camp Vineyard
Anglim Winery is a small, family-​owned label producing vineyard-​designate Rhone varietals and blends plus limited-​release Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is owned and operated by Steve and Steffanie Anglim based out of Paso Robles.
This was a structured tasting of 6 wines. The first wine, 2006 Cameo is a white rhone blend of Marsanne, Viognier, and Roussanne. All three of those grapes make for a beautiful blend and structure. In the french style the wines show pear and citrus with a strong acidity and mineral content. The price of the wine is $ 22.00 per. This would be a perfect roast chicken wine.
The second wine 2006 Cerise is a red rhone blend. Rhone blends always score really high on my Paso Robles radar and this one is no different. $ 24.00 per bottle is a great great price of this wine. The wine is a blend of Mourvedre, Syrah and Grenache. Cherry, boysenberry, and star anise. With a tart finish on the palate. Rhone Blends can go with just about anything from Stews or Barbecue to a comfy chair and a glass in your hand.
The third wine 2006 Grenache is just one of my all time favorite varietals. There is red cherry and raspberry, hints of tobacco and a good amount of spice on the finish. $ 24.00 per bottle is a good deal.
The next 2 wines 2004 Syrah and 2005 Cabernet Franc. Were both really beefy and strong. The syrah is high in alcohol content with 15.4% and the Cab. Franc was 14.8%. Not exactly my cup of tea for either of those varietals. Possibly with a food pairing might calm either wines down a bit. Syrah was priced at $ 24.00 per while the Cab. Franc was at $ 32.00.
The last wine which is slowly becoming a sneaky favorite of mine, 2006 Petite Sirah. Was a beautiful inky wine showing jammy dark berry fruit and petroleum overtones. A tad on the beefy side and alcohol side as well at 15.2%. I have been pairing certain Petite Syrahs with raw Toro Tuna. When the wine has a good amount of acidity it seems to blend well with the fattiness of the fish. The Anglim though would not pair that well. The wine does not carry enough of that acidity on the palate. Overall a nice wine, just not the one I am looking for. Price was $ 24.00 per.
I did not get to meet the owner because I got to the tasting a little late. Overall all the wines were very interesting and well priced. Certain wine merchants in Los Angeles should carry the wines. I purchased them at California Wine and Cheese.
Give Them A Try
Cheers!
