Field Recording Skins 2020 Review

Just outside of downtown Paso Robles is Tin City. An old warehouse district turned to wine and food suites to invite you to walk around and taste the area. It houses some of the best examples of the wine scene here. A celebration of diversity in grapes. Andrew Jones of Field Recordings has a tasting room here and if you have a chance definitely visit. If you can’t, just grab this wine. This is an orange wine that sips and feels like red wine. It has tannins and grip, with a red-wine-like depth of fruit. The nose is slightly oxidized (like a Sherry) with a straight-up orange-sicle without the cream vibe. It has great balance and would work well as your first orange-hued vino.
