JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery Nominated for Wine Enthusiast’s 2015 American Winery of the Year <\/strong><\/p>\n

PASO ROBLES, Calif., Sept. 10, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery<\/a> has been named by Wine Enthusiast <\/em>as a nominee for Wine Enthusiast\u2019s 2015 Wine Star Award for American Winery of the Year. This marks the first nomination for the Paso Robles winery founded in 1981, which is known for its ultra-premium Bordeaux-style blends, including its flagship wine ISOSCELES.<\/p>\n

JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery is being recognized by the magazine as a pioneer “that fostered the tremendous growth of viticulture in Paso Robles,” producing “some of the country\u2019s most highly regarded wines.” JUSTIN is also lauded as “a true tourist magnet” for its Tasting Room, luxury JUST Inn Suites and Restaurant at JUSTIN – making it the first winery on the Central Coast to offer all three options.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an incredible honor to be nominated for such an important award by Wine Enthusiast<\/em>,\u201d says Justin Baldwin, founder of JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery. \u201cWhen I founded the winery over 35 years ago, I never could have dreamed that our vision of making world class Bordeaux-style blends in Paso Robles would be so successful. It’s humbling and exciting to have Wine Enthusiast<\/em> and Adam and Sybil Strum recognize our incredible work over the decades to produce world-class wines.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wine Star Awards are regarded as some of the most important in the wine industry. Each year, the editors of Wine Enthusiast<\/em> honor individuals and companies that have made outstanding achievements and contributions in the wine and spirits world. The Paso Robles AVA, of which JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery is a long-time pioneer, won the award for Wine Region of the Year in 2013.<\/p>\n

The magazine will announce the winner on November 3<\/span>, and the Wine Star Awards gala will be held on January 25, 2016<\/span> at the New York City Public Library. The other nominees include Abacela Winery in Oregon, Gramercy Cellars in Washington State, Schramsberg Vineyards in Napa and Becker Vineyards in Texas.<\/p>\n
