Abbot's Passage Supply Company

I can’t say that it was ONE wine that enticed me to start my own label. It was more so the sense of curiosity I have about different vineyard sites and particularly the heritage that often times accompanies them. — Kate Bundschu

Detente Wines

Brand Détente draws parallels from the Paso Robles wine scene with events and imagery from world history, East vs. West. We don’t care much about politics but enjoy the friendly rivalry between the two distinct sides of the Paso Robles wine region while creating great wine from both. - Trevor Iba

Frostwatch Vineyards

The Frostwatch name was inspired when Brett was sitting on his four wheeler at 2:00 am, watching the temperatures drop and trying to decide when to turn on the frost protection. It was a beautiful moonlit evening, still and calm, but very cold. Brett thought to himself “what am I doing out here?” (It had been a very long frost season that year). He further concluded “I’m on frostwatch.”
