“Our goal is to understand our vineyard at a deep level and let its character come through authentically in the glass.  We are truly lucky to be in a place where the wines show their best from the soils, the winds, the elevation, the natural acidity, the long growing season.” — Sarah Lyons

“I have worked with many different grapes, but Grenache is the variety that spoke to me when I was in the early days of my wine journey. It’s a variety that I feel is great at showcasing climate and soil, as well as bending to the style of a winemaker with even the slightest of influences.” — Gibson Wagner

“Outside of limestone rich soils, cool nights, and ample daytime warmth for ripening, the people of the Paso Robles region are what make it special. It’s a very collaborative and supportive community of winemakers and vintners.” — Jenny Freck

“We believe Grenache best represents Paso Robles terroir. The variety thrives in our climate and our calcareous, youthful soils bring an energy to the variety that rivals the greatest Grenache wine regions in the world.” — Alex Kemp

“The best thing about being a small winery is that we can relate to the general public and they can relate to us. We’re just normal people trying to make a badass product that everyone can enjoy. We have the ability to be flexible each year, change winemaking styles depending on the weather, growing conditions, and what the fruit is saying. This isn’t cookie cutter recipe winemaking, it’s intentional, thought provoking, and innovating.” — Taylor Mathiesen

This community is so supportive – I love working with the individual wine growers, other wine makers, creating beautiful wines with the grapes we all grow. — Melani Harding

The word Kaleidos also means “beautiful form”. All of this embodies the wine brand Kaleidos. To me the wine is a beautiful product which I create by hand with love. — Steve Martell

Small producers have undeniable focus, laced with exciting stories of small scale production.

“Jean & Larry Rowe were both in the computer industry. Jean is a serious photographer and Larry spent many years working on digital media and entertainment applications. So, it was natural to think about color spectrums and related terminology. Jean created the tag line “Wine is neither black nor white. It’s always shades of grey” that perfectly captures the notion that winemaking requires constant attention to detail and continuous adaptation to the grapes produced each year.”

“I specialize in Petite Sirah and blends using that grape. It’s just so versatile based on location, farming practice and winemaking style. I also use Syrah, Grenache, Tannat and Petit Verdot in my red blends, and sometimes as single varietal bottlings, depends on the vintage. I make a Viognier as well with grapes from the Caliza Vineyard.”
