Cadre

I’ve been rooted in Edna Valley’s wine industry for over 25 years, but my story started many decades earlier. My grandfather Jack Niven trailblazed the planting of San Luis Obispo’s modern day vines in the early 1970’s and is considered the pioneer of the Edna Valley. He just happened to plant his historic Paragon Vineyard just after I was born. Little did he know that these plantings and his vision would determine the fate of the region.  Decades later, this fate led my wife, Lucy, and I down the path to start our own winery focusing on vibrant energetic white wines from the Edna Valley and San Luis Obispo Coast.
