In my last blog post, I filled you in on all the restaurant deals going on for SLO County Restaurant Month during the whole month of January! Today, as your Central California real estate agent, I’d like to fill you in on the wine deals that are also happening in conjunction with Restaurant Month, which is brand new this year. These deals will allow you to try new wines, and purchase wines, at a discounted price.

While the list of participating SLO County wineries is extensive, here are a few highlights from the list:
