Rossmoor, California
Front Yard Wines was started in 2019 after a wine tasting trip to Paso Robles in April of that same year. Inspired by the entire process of making wine, from harvesting to barrel-aging in subterranean caves, we bought some wine making supplies and turned our garage into a make-shift winery. Having no previous experience or formal training, we had to learn everything 'on the fly'. So, after a lot of you-tube videos, several books and 5 months later, the first vintage of Merlot was made.
Although we do have vines in our front yard(thus the name), we make our wine with grapes from different California vineyards. The 2019 vintage was made with grapes from the vineyards of F. Colavita and Sons in Del Rey, California. The 2020 Vintage will be a Syrah and Pinot Noir from our friend's vineyard in Los Alamos, California.
Our very first vintage was a Merlot and based on the feedback, it turned out pretty well. We like to create a balanced wine that tells a story as you drink it - a good introduction, a full body and a memorable finish. Our wines are not for sale...yet. They are for our personal and friends' enjoyment only.
Hey bud! Spring has sprung!
