When Doug and Nancy Beckett, school teachers looking for a better life for their family, moved to Paso Robles in 1988 with their two sons, they never envisioned where that would lead them. That same year they used Zinfandel grapes from the famous Benito Dusi vineyard to produce a couple hundred cases of wine. This superior wine established Peachy Canyon Winery’s reputation for premium red wines. The winery now has 100 acres of its own vineyards. The vineyards follow sustainable practices, composting all byproducts and reintroducing them to the soil the next year. The winery also sources grapes from more than 20 local growers in the Paso AVA. The coming year’s production is set for 84,000 cases. Craig Miller, National Accounts Manager, will be with us to give special insight into the wines that we will taste at the dinner. Executive Chef James Smith has created a menu to showcase these vintages.
