Headed up the Central Coast for this weekend’s 30th annual Paso Robles Wine Festival? You might want to plan a pit stop at 15 Degrees C Wine Shop & Bar in Templeton, which is presenting tastings of small-lot local artisanal producers, a.k.a. garagistes, during the weekend. Producers pouring include AmByth Estate, Alta Colina, Clesi, Giornata and Henson.

The tastings are intended to promote the second Garagiste Festival , scheduled for Nov. 10 at Windfall Farms, an equestrian estate in the area.
