#legit the BEST winery in Paso. Wine is 5 star but people are still humble. The owner, Rich, still sits on the patio and talks about the importance of bees with you while Natalie pours and talks about the best wines in the area!!!

Outstanding Zinfandel for a great price! Just happened upon this winery by accident passing through Paso and was amazed at the jammy yet dry balance of their wine. We bought three bottles because they were priced so reasonably. Looking to go back soon!

A must stop on your tour of the Paso Robles wine country. The lovely lady behind the bar let us taste the whole line up. I thought the stand out was their Gemini but their Zinfandel was awesome but be careful at 16% it will put you down. If you taste the Paso Robles region don't miss this gem of a winery.
