Herman Story Wines

Proprietor and winemaker Russell P. From began Herman Story Wines in 2001 with 7 barrels stashed in his employer’s cellar. What started as a modest homage to his rancher grandfather has become a beacon to those seeking opulent, structured Syrah and Grenache. To maintain balance while giving flavor full stage, Russell works with top-tier vineyards in over 7 distinct growing regions between Santa Barbara and Paso Robles. Vineyards of particular note include: Chelle Mountain, Bien Nacido, Larner, and White Hawk. These are no nonsense, balls to the walls wines that are not for the faint of heart or the pinky raising set.
