During
visits to John's family we discovered the wonderful grape-growing
areas surrounding Paso Robles and planted Mia’s Vineyard,
named after our daughter, and located at the corner of Highway 41
and Cripple Creek Road. There is much discussion about the East
and West Sides of Paso Robles and some winemakers even pit one against
the other, stating that one is more ideal than the other for their
varietal of choice. We've side-stepped all the existing controversies
by founding the Falcone Corner, our unoffically named little
slice of viticultural heaven, located in the eastern corner of the
Templeton Gap. Our eight-acre Mia’s Vineyard includes four
acres of Syrah and four acres of Cabernet Sauvignon.
