A Letter From Arnaud and Winery Updates
August 1, 2024
It's incredible to believe that it is already Fall Release 2024 and that BENOM's 9th anniversary is quickly approaching next month. The past 12 months have been filled with extraordinary milestones, including purchasing an estate, welcoming new team members, and now releasing our 2022 vintage.
To our valued members, thank you for your unwavering support this year and beyond. Your loyalty and enthusiasm have been instrumental in shaping who we are today. We are thrilled to share the vintage with you and look forward to many more wine-filled years together.
To our new members and customers, welcome to the BENOM journey. We are excited to have you with us as we continue to grow and create unforgettable experiences.
I hope to see you all in the tasting room soon, but for now, here is what the BENOM team has been up to and our latest winery updates.
Celebrating Nine Years
We will soon be celebrating nine years of BENOM in September. This is a huge milestone for Guillaume and me and we are ecstatic about what this ninth year had in store for us.
My brother and I started BENOM back in 2015 to bring our passion for our French heritage to Paso Robles. At the start, we had a small tasting room in Tin City, two wines (Origin and Les Deux Frères), and were producing 200 cases of wine a year. Flash forward nine years and we have upgraded to our current tasting room in Tin City, have recently planted our own estate in York Mountain, have eight wines and counting, and are now producing over 3,500 cases a year.
We would not be able to celebrate nine years and all our accomplishments without the support of all our members – whether it's those who have been with us on our journey since 2015 or those who have recently discovered us. Thank you and cheers to all the years to come!
Latest Updates
We are delighted to announce that our York Mountain Estate is officially planted. At the end of June, the production team spent a week during a heat wave to plant 22 acres with rootstock, which totaled over 20,000 individual vines. For more in-depth information on the planting and future plans, you can click here.
We have also started to release quarterly newsletters with in-depth details about our tasting room, vineyard, estate, and event updates as well as anything new that is happening or upcoming at BENOM. You can read the Summer 2024 Newsletter here.
Enjoy the 2024 Fall Release wines and cheers!
