Founded in 2004 by geologists, Bill and Liz Armstrong, Epoch Estate Wines has quickly developed a big reputation for handcrafted, small- production wines with abundant personalities from Paso Robles, CA. Located on the storied York Mountain, Epoch is an ultra-premium producer of wines from Rhone, Zinfandel, and Tempranillo varieties grown on their west Paso Robles vineyards – Paderewski, Catapult, and York Mountain. As the steward of both the historic York Mountain Winery property and the Paderewski Vineyard, Epoch is committed to the land it cherishes, the quality wines crafted, and the rich legacies now shared with the next generation of Epoch drinkers.

Wine Spectator raves, “Winemaker Jordan Fiorentini makes beautiful Rhône-style wines.”

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate exclaims, “Epoch’s wines succeed in capturing all the power of which western Paso Robles is capable, but for all their structure, extract and ripe fruit, they’re beautifully balanced and texturally refined, with new oak very much taking a back seat to the grapes and the vineyards. Fiorentini is clearly passionate and a perfectionist, and I’m sure Epoch is only going to go from strength to strength in coming vintages.”

The event will also feature exclusive auction items available only that evening.

Hosted by: Carl & Terry Kanowsky. Hors d’oeuvres provided by: Salt Creek Grille
