Marin's Vineyard

“We are named the vineyard and wines after our daughter Marin who was 6 years old when we initially planted the vineyard. She worked / played alongside of us as we developed the vineyard and she grew up with it.  She recently graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this summer with a degree in winemaking and has been our winemaker for over a year.”

Hoyt Family Vineyards

“We fell in love with the industry when we lived in San Francisco when my husband and I were first married. We'd go up to Napa and stay at working vineyards. We knew this was something we wanted to do. We then moved to southern CA, and when we found our house in Malibu, there was a vineyard across the way and we knew we could plant there. We planted our first crop in 2001 and harvested from there in 2004.”

Ascension Cellars

“As an avid wine lover, I was constantly on a quest for something better.  I wanted elegance, body, and boldness in our wines.  I wanted wines I would be proud to offer to our friends and family. This led to a fun, weekend hobby that gradually grew into home wine making and then evolved into wine that matters.”

DuBost Winery

“We love Paso because we have strong roots in the community and have been here for a long time. We have seen Paso and our county as a whole blossom right before our eyes into a world class wine growing region and a popular destination spot without all the hullabaloo.  The people for the most part are humble and hard working, yet relaxed and easy going and we feel that is reflected in our wines.”

Caliza Winery

“We choose to use the name Caliza for our winery as in Spanish it means limestone. It is the limestone based soils of our own vineyards, and much of Paso Robles area that makes for our great wine growing conditions. I felt that by choosing a name that always reminds us that the wines we produce begin in the vineyards and it is these special soils that give us much of the character found in our wines.” –Carl Bowker

Seven Angels Cellars

“My wife, Pamela, and I married in 2008 and became a blended family, with 7 children, our 7 angels.  Ironically our two families have known each other since our children were small.  Pamela and I found each other because, we believe, that angels had their hand in it.”

Ranchero Cellars

“Winemaking is the only career I've ever had.  I went to school for it, I've been doing it for 15 years, and I can't imagine doing anything else.  I quit my day job last year (making wine for a larger company) to focus on Ranchero Cellars.  It's been a challenge, but worth everything I've given it. “
