Wine 101: Exceptional at Every Angle: The Justin Wines Story
JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery was established in Paso Robles in 1981 with the aim of producing Bordeaux-style wines within California’s terroir. The winery’s current winemaker, Scott Shirley, actually started his career as a lab tech chemist in a winery during harvest, where, he explains, he “caught the bug.” From there, Shirley relocated to the Napa Valley to try his hand at winemaking, and remained there for 13 years. But when he got a call from Justin Baldwin, he fell in love with Paso Robles. Now, he’s on his 14th harvest with JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery.
On this episode of “Wine 101,” Keith sits down with Justin Vineyards & Winery winemaker Scott Shirley. They discuss the brand’s beginnings in Paso Robles, the premier Bordeaux-style wines they produce, and guest experiences at the JUSTIN Estate, spanning a Michelin-star restaurant, five-star inn, and tasting room. Tune in for more.
