Olive oil tasting rooms added to WQ!

I added an olive oil tasting room category to WineQuesters.com. This was requested by a Paso Robles olive oil company. So now there is one online but others will probably join. We may add these to our Tweetup Tastings!

There are maybe a dozen olive oil tasting rooms in California wine regions. St. Helena Olive Oil Company, Temecula Olive Oil Company, and Pasolivo in the mountains west of Paso Robles are the better known ones. If we can help them establish more of a market then we should see more such tasting rooms.

Thank Jim! As co-owner of the Temecula Olive Oil Company we focus on elevating the public awareness of the virtues of California Extra Virgin Olive Oil. There are many hardworking farmers all over the state producing fabulous oils and by supporting the local farmer you are also supporting the local community. With all of the speculation surrounding the corruption of the imported business a wise consumer researches what they are putting in their bodies. Plus many growers like us, use sustainable growing practices which are also great for the local community and a fun story for families to explore. Let us know how we can support your efforts here. Thanks for all you do! Best regards, Nancy
