We were on the Central Coast filming a series of tour videos. So we visited the La Vista Vineyards off Adelaida area west of Paso Robles about 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean. They were taken by the stunning ridges and valleys and the limestone rich soil. The goal: to produce the best premium wine grapes in the AVA!

During the initial land clearing of La Vista, the Ridings were introduced to Alvaro Medrano. Alvaro's extensive knowledge of the grape growing process and experience in producing quality fruit in the past was a great assurance that they had an expert in their midst. Alvaro assisted in all phases of the development starting with vineyard design, varietal, rootstock, clone selection and planting and is now the vineyard manager.
