On the move: Il Cortile Ristorante and La Cosecha Bar + Restaurant in Paso Robles has announced the launch of a new gourmet food truck! Called simply “The Truck,” this mobile restaurant will allow Chef Santos MacDonal to stage intimate private dinners, pop-ups, and receptions in the North County, from the beaches to the vineyards … Meet the men and women behind the wine you love at Pappy McGregor’s New Wine Wednesday events. Each week, Pappy’s will feature a Paso Robles winemaker who will be on hand pouring and talking about their wines (plus, every fourth Wednesday will feature a local distiller and/or brewer). The June 6 event will feature winemaker Sterling Kragten of Cass Winery (go to pappymcgregors.com for more). Farmers online: Slow Money SLO is starting an online support community to enable broader farmer-to-farmer communication (and no, it’s not your average Facebook group). Wanna join or learn more?
