Episode 183 – Fasten Your Seatbelt for Paso Robles Part 3: Levo Vineyard & Lizz Sevin!

In today’s episode, Shelley and Phil, along with the Wine Time Fridays DP Team of Lindsay and Brian LaFaille, continue their trip through Paso Robles with a stop at Levo Vineyard and a conversation with their Direct to Consumer Manager, and fast talking, Lizz Sevin. Levo is located in Tin City, a very strong community containing wineries, breweries, olive oils and creameries, among other things. This episode is the epitome of what we’re doing here at Wine Time Fridays; a down to earth conversation while tasting through delicious wine.  In this episode we discuss the challenges that Covid brought, the story behind the winery, what the next year might bring and the very real possibility of a new family member!

The CDA Gourmet Wine Word of the Week – Backbone
