Ancient Peaks Winery

Painting by Agata Zaborowski

Ancient Peaks Winery Vineyard stands alone as the southernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles region, tucked beneath the peaks of the Santa Lucia Mountains just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Here, the vines unfold along a rare array of soils amid one of the region’s coolest growing environments. The resulting wines express an unmistakable sense of place, with balanced structure and flavors that are native to Margarita Vineyard.

Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards

Fantastic wines, a great and knowledgable tasting team and one of my most favorite settings make Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards a wonderful and special place. We toured the vineyard in it's total seclusion, silence and peace; tasted in the caves (a must see); and lounged in their upper terrace while finishing off our tasting.

Sip on the Unique: Discover Southern California's Hidden Wine Gems

Hey there, wine lovers! If you think California wines are all about Cabernet and Chardonnay, it’s time to expand your palate with a delightful detour into Southern California. Meet Angeleno Wine Co., where winemaking is a canvas for creativity, and unique varietals are the brushstrokes painting a vibrant picture of the region!

The Uncommon

At Angeleno Wine Co., they're on a mission to redefine what Southern California wine can be.

Meet the Dynamic Duo Behind Angeleno

Let’s raise a glass to the passionate people behind these intriguing wines!

Jasper Dickson grew up in Sunnyvale, California, where his early exposure to winemaking ignited a lifelong obsession. Thanks to his father, a home winemaker, Jasper spent his childhood exploring vineyards, inhaling the intoxicating aroma of fermenting grapes, and soaking up the lush scenery. When he moved to Los Angeles, he met Juan Alonso, and the adventure began!

Then there’s Amy Luftig, who made her way from the outskirts of Cincinnati to the sunny West Coast. While pursuing a career in public policy and healthcare access, she discovered her true passion during a volunteer stint at a harvest. Who knew that shoveling grapes, cleaning barrels, and early morning fruit-picking could be so exhilarating? Amy found her tribe among the spirited souls who embrace the winemaking lifestyle, and she’s been captivated ever since.

Join the Adventure

So, whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just looking to explore something new, Angeleno Wine Co. invites you to join them on a delicious journey. With each glass, you’ll not only taste the unique characteristics of Southern California but also the passion and hard work of two individuals dedicated to their craft.

Annapolis Winery

The vineyards were planted in 1978, replacing an old apple orchard. After farming for several years, Basil Scalabrini began making wine commercially. With no winery, the first wine was made in a redwood grove at the top of the hill, a 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon… It was a good one! The Scalabrini family built the winery in 1987, and began making wine from each vintage thereafter. A family owned and operated, and the family is involved in every phase of the wine growing process. At Annapolis Winery the focus is on quality, not quantity and the winery produce a very small amount of wine, taking personal care at each step of the process. The results are wines that are naturally lush and intense.

Anomaly Vineyards

I would like to recommend a great boutique winery in St. Helena called Anomaly Vineyards. This is a small family owned winery that does one wine (cabernet) and does it very well. Absolutely amazing small production winery. Call or email in advance for an intimate and relaxed appointment with the passionate and knowledgeable staff, Seth was fantastic. This is a Cab only winery... so make sure you're a fan of the big red. The wines are not inexpensive, but well worth it. -

Anthill Farms Winery

With not more than a vision for making cool-climate, single-vineyard Pinot Noirs some friends made their first vintage - 250 cases - in 2004. Less than five years later, they have a critically acclaimed brand and more demand for their 1,500-case annual production than they can meet. They've earned having Anthill Farms in the coveted spots on wine lists at the French Laundry, Cyrus, Gary Danko and other well knowns and sommeliers say they can't keep the bottles in stock.
