    So listen. My cousin is obsessed with Justin. And I don't mean "oh I like their wine" obsessed. I mean, she talks about Justin like he's her actual secret lover. A forbidden man. A phantom in the vineyard. A cabernet daddy. (Spoiler: she's only had his wine once. But she recalls it like it was the best one-night stand of her life.) Naturally, I had to come see what the fuss was about. So there I am, at Justin's tasting room in downtown Paso Robles, bright-eyed and brave at 11 a.m., because they just opened and I am nothing if not committed to the bit. I order the premium flight ($80 for five wines), thinking, Okay. Controlled. Classy. We pace. We sip. We live. Right? Wrong. The tasting begins with a "bonus pour." What do you mean bonus? There are five wines on the menu. I came here for five wines. Not six. Not seven. Just five. And suddenly I'm being handed extra wine like I won the lottery and lost my liver in the process. We move on. Pour two. Pour three. Pour four. Another bonus pour. Excuse me? Why is everything a bonus? Is this a winery or a casino? By this point, I am seeing three charcuterie boards where there is clearly none. I'm swaying gently to the music in my own head. And yet, I soldier on--because the final two wines are Justin's Isosceles blends, the very ones that made my cousin emotionally cheat on her future husband with a bottle. Problem is--I can't feel my face. I've got methane gas building in my soul. I've never spit out wine in my life, but today? I was ready to sacrifice my pride and projectile Syrah. Out of desperation and basic gastrointestinal survival, I order truffle fries to soak up the disaster. Pretty tasty btw. And finally, she pours the 2021 Isosceles. I taste it. It's good. Great, even. But honestly? The second bonus wine (the Savant) was my favorite. Still, I'm committed. So I stumble over to my lovely pourer, clutching my flight sheet like a diploma, and say, with the seriousness of a woman on the brink: "I can't keep going. But I must try the 2019 Isosceles. Just a drop." She pours me a full damn glass. I cave. I buy $200 worth of wine to waive the tasting fee, and exit the building as a different woman. Possibly reborn. Definitely lit asf. Wine was fantastic, the Savant was my fave. I can't give you more because...well... Side note from my dramatic review: the ambiance is a bit stale I may say. I get it's downtown but I highkey wish they at least had outdoor seating. I was there 2 hours--it was so dark and somber inside imo

    Another amazing tasting at Justin! We celebrated my hubby's birthday a few weekends ago in Paso, we had to stop by our favorite place Everything is top notch, per usual! The wine, the food and the staff. We LOVE Justin

    Jame's is the best!

    Very cool spot! Met some cool people and drank some excellent wine! My friend and I were lucky they accommodated us as we didn't have reservations prior to our visit. So if you're planning on stopping here for some good wine and/or food I highly suggest you make a reservation first. And our service from James was the best, answered all of our questions and was super sweet. Also I wanted to say thank you again, we appreciated you for accommodating us even though we didn't have a reservation.

    The cold vibe of the interior matches the energy of the service. For example, we asked for crackers and the server seemed confused and said that they could bring crackers from the charcuterie board but never did. These were the most expensive prices per glass that I had seen on my trip. On the bright side, we did enjoy the Isosceles (very smooth) and Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. The chocolates went well with them and not insanely priced. I would consider coming back if Jose is my server, based on other reviews. Otherwise, I would've skipped this one.

    Because it was near closing, I couldn't do a tasting, but they offered a glass of Isosceles for my pal and I.

The tasting room is intimate, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, creating a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy great wine. What really makes this place stand out is the people. The staff and owners are wonderful friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the entire experience feel warm and engaging. LXV is especially known for pairing wine with custom spice and flavor experiences that complement the tasting. They traditional wine tasting and a wine-and-cheese pairing experience (which I highly recommend). The cheeses are coated with the different blends of LXV's own herbs and spices, adding a unique layer of flavor to each tasting. If you enjoy cooking or simply appreciate bold, and well balanced flavors, chances are you'll leave with a few spice blends to take home along with a bottle or two of wine. I highly recommend checking them out.

Our first stop when we arrived in Paso. We've been to so many wineries, this would be one of our top 10. The spice pairing is unique but pairs so well with the wine. Buy 3 bottles to waive the fee. Since it's more of boutique, the bottles are quite pricey, mostly ranging near the 100s. But it was our favorite the whole weekend we went there. And we bought 6 bottles. We loved the spell and got 3 bottles of that! It's a Syrah cab blend. Has the Paso flavor that we love. It's not a vineyard, just a tasting room but worth a visit. We met the wine maker too. Friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to pop open a bottle at home soon!

    Where do I start? It was probably two years after hearing about this winery while sitting at a…read moretasting with Ray at Indigene Cellars located "in the alley" next to Jeffry's Wine County BBQ. I heard him mention this tasting room in downtown Paso to a couple sitting a few seats down, but never got there, opting for other "larger" wineries. However, since walking through the door in June 2025, I feel Bushong is one of the best Paso Robles has to offer and really like what Jason says, "We're not focused on making more and more, but making better and better." The tasting room is located half a block off the square at 12th St & Spring St. a very easy walk across Spring, if you are visiting other tasting rooms in town. Jason, the winemaker and Mike, mister "does everything else" serve up some great wines! Walking through the door it feels as if you are walking into someone's living room. The wall opposite the entrance is a wall full of vinyl (that's records, Gen Z). Willing to spin whatever you are in the mood to listen to. The wine names are all music related, as are the labels. Specializing in red blends, Jason does an excellent job getting the most out of each varietal used to create a symphony of flavor in each bottle. The tasting run $25 per person, but is waved with the purchase of two bottles. You taste your way through the lighter offerings, a white and rose before moving on to the red blends and possible the 23 year old cream sherry. So lovely! Everything he bottles has been excellent. I've been very impressed with the quality considering the size of his boutique winery, but really becoming a fan of these smaller operations because of what they produce time after time. When in Paso, make a reservation with Jason or Mike and get into Bushong. Some of the best wine I have tasted in Paso. I highly recommend it!
