Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi are the husband and wife team behind these fine Italian varietals coming out of Paso Robles.
In addition to making some outstanding Giornata wines, they also have a second label Broadside, which is strictly their Paso Cabernet Sauvignon. All this and they are also busy raising twin daughters. Whew! Yet they seem to have it all figured out, at least from what we could gather on our visit.

Giornata is another tasting room in Tin City that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Super down to earth and really fun... just a cool person to drink wine and chat with. Which is exactly what we did!

Giornata- (NOTE: this is an excerpt from our Tin City Spotlight)
Their tasting room is slightly off the beaten path from the heart of Tin City, and they are A-OK with that. In fact, we almost drove right past it, as it’s in an industrial complex with a single glass door. Technically, we could have walked to the tasting room, but if you end up buying a case of wine like us, you may want to bring the car. Lol. This visit was definitely one of our highlights on this Paso
