Wine Tasting
His product portfolio has
something for everyone with three
different brands. The Straight Out of
Paso brand is offered at an everyday
drinking price and can be found in
distribution. Bodega de Edgar re-
mains the focus brand, while Songs
by Bodega de Edgar is an ultra-
premium brand made in limited
quantities.
Songs brought Edgar back to his
early days of winemaking. “Songs is
a project that I hold very close to my
heart and brings us back to the be-
ginning. It is a celebration of music
and the French varietals that started
my winemaking journey. We believe
that music and wine are similar
in their ability to transport us to a
moment in time.” Each of the wines
released under the Songs brand is
named for a song that means some-
thing to Edgar, often it is about his
relationship with his son, or a song
from his son’s playlist. The Songs
brand is poured exclusively in the
winery’s tasting room on the west
side of Paso.
The winery hosts event week-
ends timed with club pickups in
the spring and fall. This fall, in
addition to a winemaker dinner at
BL Brasserie on November 8, club
members can attend a November to
Remember members-only event on
Saturday afternoon where they can
enjoy the fall allocation wines paired
with lunch and taste library wines.
The weekend ends on a high
note with the 4th Annual Tacos
& Tempranillo event on Sunday
afternoon. Although there are a
limited number of tickets available,
the event is open to everyone. Three
taco vendors present different style
tacos, each pairing with one of the
three tempranillo wines produced by
Bodega de Edgar—one of those taco
makers happens to be Edgar’s father.
In addition to showcasing Bodega
de Edgar Tempranillo, Edgar invites
top tempranillo producers from
the area to attend and pour their
wines, making it a true celebration
of the Spanish grape. Please visit the
winery’s website for additional infor-
mation and to purchase tickets.
Edgar invites guests to make
wine-tasting reservations online,
and enjoy an educational tasting,
and hear more about the story
behind the wine.

Robles. Open Thursday-Monday 10
