My Favorite Neighbor

My Favorite Neighbor began as an homage to our original favorite neighbor, Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure, and has since grown to include a handful of others who surround us on Paso Robles’ west side. Stephan is a close friend and mentor to our founder Eric. For the entire first year they were friends, each time Stephan called he would refer to himself as Eric’s “favorite neighbor”, as if there was any doubt about who would be calling with such a thick French accent! The title was a self-fulfilling prophecy and in 2006 Eric crafted a Cabernet-based wine to honor his friend Stephan and his Bordeaux roots.

We make wine in a collaborative spirit with our family and neighbors to be enjoyed with your own neighborhood. Our wines are created by sourcing the best, sustainably farmed fruit from a collection of neighboring vineyards as well as our own, because we believe it takes a village to make great wine.

Welcome to the neighborhood.
