Many years ago, driving down Highway 101 to the beach towns of Morro Bay and Cambria, Dusi vineyard was a charming stop on the way to a clamming weekend with the wife and kids. Women wearing loose rayon sundresses, silk stockings and open-toed heels would accompany their husbands on the short walk into the Dusi tasting room – a small, separate cottage between the home and vineyard. Inside, a six-foot tasting bar hosted the southern side of the cottage. Magazines lauding the four San Luis Obispo County wineries that existed then are still carefully fanned out on the corner of that tasting bar today. I pick up the 1959 Sunset guide to California wineries. A two-page black-and-white spread with brief descriptions of the four wineries also includes photographs of sleepy Cambria, a rickety one-boat dock in Morro Bay, and a family clamming on a local beach.
