Their whites weren't bad either. But since I drink my wines slowly, it's better for me to stick with reds in wine storage! 
Mark, are they worth visiting in Paso? I think I've finally settled in on my post-Woot tour stops: Paso on Thurday, Los Olivos on Friday, and Lompoc Wine Ghetto on Saturday. I've only been to Los Olivos in that group.

Vina Robles is making some very nice wines and they've just hired a new winemaker, Kevin Willengburg, who used to work down here in the Santa Ynez Valley. Their winemaker last year was Nick DeLuca, who had been winemaker for Starlane and Dierberg down here as well. Solid winemaker and vineyard guy ta boot.
I guess whether or not you stop there depends upon the styles of wines you like and how much time you have up in Paso . . .
As far as Los Olivos goes, you BETTER plan on stopping at my tercero wines tasting room when you are in town!!!!!
In fact, send me an email at larry@tercerowines.com so we can nail your visit down and I can hopefully make sure to be there!!!!
Cheers!

Turley is south of Paso in Templeton (still part of the Paso area) and a stop for those who love PS. They have some nice Zins as well.
Stillman Brown is in the Paso area, but over by the ocean (tasting room in Morro Bay (off PCH (Hwy 1) southwest of Templeton). But he's over in Cayucos (north of Morro Bay) and likes people to drop in (IIRC).
And definitely stop at Tercero in Los Olivos. Well worth it. Especially now that Larry has it all set-up.
Thanks for the tips Mark. I might try to pick your brain on Paso some more before my trip. I'm definitely planning on hitting on Tercero. I've loved all of Larry's wines I've tried.
