Lone Madrone - Lonely no more |
|
|
|
|
|
Lone Madrone is owned by the British born winemaker and former chef Neil Collins, his wife Marci and Neil's sister Jackie Meisinger. Neil has honed his craft at three prestigious central coast winery operations (Wildhorse Winery, Adelaida Cellars and Tablas Creek) before starting out on his own venture. His original winemaking experience came from the famed southern Rhone estate of Chateau de Beaucastel in the Chateauneuf-du-pape region.
Lone Madrone produces up to 19 different wines from individual vineyards, including, Roussanne, Nebbiolo Rose, IL Toyon Nebbiolo, Mourvedre, Barbera, Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Picpoul Blanc and a number of blends. For a unique treat try their bottle-fermented ciders, Bristols and Bristols Extra. Great tasting room on the West side of Paso Robles.
