Lone Madrone Winery
The year was 1996. A young man named Neil Collins embarked on a journey at The Carver vineyard, producing the inaugural vintage of Lone Madrone, named after the solitary tree that stands watch over the vineyard. He was not alone in this venture; from the start, Neil's wife Marci and sister Jackie provided unwavering support and encouragement. Initially, there was no intention of this becoming more than a young winemaker’s hobby, something separate from his day job. However, things did not turn out that way.
Lone Madrone grew, slowly but surely. The philosophy remained consistent: each wine should be unique, with its distinctiveness derived from where the fruit was grown, how it was grown, and who grew it. Over time, they added more vineyards, focusing on the dramatic hills of West Paso Robles. The soil, the climate, the proximity to the great Pacific Ocean and its profound influence, and the people who chose to farm grapes in this beautiful but challenging land—all these factors played a role in their evolutionary choices. They chose to focus on dry-farmed vineyards, believing this method offers “the purest expression” of any given piece of land. This world-class terroir, once a hidden gem, has now gained broader recognition.

CRUSH Vineyard
After 30 years in the Fashion industry in New York City, Denise and Scott Schramm followed their hearts and daughters to California. Denise and Scott are longtime wine enthusiasts and have always dreamed of owning a vineyard. Traveling to Napa Valley since the early 90’s indulging their thirst for Cabernet Sauvignon this couple fell in love with California wines and the beauty of wine country. The Schramm's are also fortunate to have traveled to Europe and developed a fondness for the Italian Super Tuscans, Spanish Riojas, and France’s wines from the Bordeaux and Rhone regions. Nothing made them happier than gathering with friends and family sharing stories, good food, and great wine.
The dream became reality when this couple purchased an established vineyard on the West Side of Paso Robles in the Adelaida District. The vineyard was known for growing award-winning Tannat and Tempranillo, two varietals that follow their “Road Less Traveled” philosophy in winemaking. At CRUSH Vineyard, the focus is on small-batch, hand-crafted red wines which are Estate grown on our family vineyard. Always sustainably farmed and handpicked.
The very first bottling, to commemorate the wedding of our oldest daughter Phoebe was a special blend of Tannat and GSM. This blend was named INCEPTION to mark the start of the new couple's life together, and the beginning of Denise and Scott's winemaking adventure.

The Terraces
This little hidden gem is very easy to miss while whizzing past on Silverado Trail. But don't overlook this one. You won't be disappointed. Some of the best zinfandel and very good cabernet sauvignon. It is a great value wine that will hold its own against some higher priced wines. This is a very small winery with limited production and only offers a few wines. You won't find this in too many stores so you will need to make a trip out there of go on-line.
