When my husband Stephen and I first decided to leave Hollywood and move to Malibu, we either wanted a home where we could walk to the beach, or grow grapes; we happened upon a property that could do both. In 2001, we planted our first vineyard. The property's proximity to the ocean offered the perfect environment for growing Chardonnay grapes.
Realizing that soon we would have lot’s of fruit, I bought 100lbs of grapes and began making my first wine, with my then 2 1/2 year old daughter in tow, in the kitchen of that very home.
Since then, our family has grown in our love for harvesting and producing award-winning wines made with grapes grown all the way from the Malibu Coast to the Central Coast. We produce 800-1,200 cases of Estate wine each year. Our Paso Robles Vineyards are on one of the highest and most beautiful elevations on the west side's Willow Creek AVA. We can't wait to include you in our story, and share our special wines!
