About Tobin James 

Tobin James was the original winemaker at another familiar winery, Peachy Canyon. He put his name–and Paso Robles–on the map, when the very first wine he made won a spot on the coveted “top 100” wines of the year with the Wine Spectator. It wasn’t until 1993, after numerous gold medals and scores of 90+ on his wines, that Tobin decided to build his own winery on highway 46 east of Paso Robles.
