FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chateau Margene Acquires Roxo Port Cellars <\/strong>
\nPaso Robles\u2019 preeminent Port-style producer is now part of Michael & Margene Mooney\u2019s family of award-winning craft wineries, including Chateau Margene, Mooney Family Wines, El Pistolero and J Mooney Wines.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sept 6, 2016 (Paso Robles, Calif.) \u2013 Michael and Margene Mooney are proud to announce they have officially taken over the operations of the award-winning Port-style producer Roxo Port Cellars, roxocellars.com<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> of Paso Robles, California.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to add Roxo Port Cellars to our family of wines,\u201d says Michael Mooney, co-owner and winemaker of Chateau Margene, Mooney Family Wines and El Pistolero, chateaumargene.com<\/a><\/em>.<\/em> \u201cHaving shared a tasting room with Roxo Port Cellars, we are very familiar with Jeff and Kim, their Port offerings and the time and care they put in to their program. This is an excellent addition to our portfolio of Central Coast brands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roxo Port Cellars was founded in 2005 by Jeff and Kim Steele. The winery specializes in producing small-lot Port-style wines from handpicked grapes from Paso Robles and the Cienega Valley, CA. The Steeles\u2019 unbridled passion and winemaking talent elevated Roxo into a leader in American Port-style wines.<\/p>\n

Roxo Port Cellars and the Mooney Family have a long relationship, having shared a tasting room for three years on Vineyard Drive in Paso Robles. Starting Sept. 16<\/span><\/span>, Roxo Port wines will be available at Chateau Margene\u2019s two tasting rooms: the Estate Tasting Room in the Creston District AVA of Paso Robles and its coastal Tasting Room on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay, CA.<\/p>\n

The Steeles will still be active with Roxo, working with the popular wine club, consulting on Port-style winemaking and pouring at special events and wine-event weekends.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to propel Roxo Port Cellars to the next level, we are passing the torch,\u201d says Jeff Steele. \u201cWe are confident the Mooney family, who continually strives for excellence and shares our values, is the best choice to bring Roxo Port Cellars to a place above and beyond what we dreamed for our family-owned winery.\u201d<\/p>\n
