Dover Canyon Winery: Special Offer from Hunter Ranch Golf Course

Dover Canyon Winery

Welcome to Dover Canyon Winery. We gave up successful wine careers at larger wineries to work in our own small vineyard and produce limited editions of vineyard-designate wines with a focus on particular Paso Robles microclimates. The property we purchased was a walnut orchard, so I guess we could say, "Welcome to Dover Canyon Winery, the nut farm."

Wine Reviews

FoodTV host Chris Cognac
"I am a wine freak. I love a good Zinfandel, and there is a small vintner named Dover Canyon that makes some of the best wine on the planet . . ."
San Francisco Chronicle
"These wines could convert Zinfandel naysayers by demonstrating that high alcohol and fruit can be present but not overshadow the wines' other charms. . . Most dishes on the table will benefit from its seamless style and red cherry acidity."
Vinography
"This is an individualistic wine with something to say, and most will find the conversation very pleasing. I'd be particularly interested in seeing how this wine ages. "
Wine Camp
"Wines like this transcend personal preferences. They are so distinctive and so well made that if you have any passion for wine at all you can’t help but to love them."

"You can take some substantial pride in having one of the very few winery blogs crossing over into mainstream popularity."
An Obsession with Food
"Mary Baker of Dover Canyon shares a profile of Benito Dusi. Dusi has some of the oldest Zinfandel vines in Paso Robles, and his vineyard is one of the highlights of the Paso AVA. Check out her post to learn more about this local legend."
Australian Wine Society of Toronto
"A deliciously evocative post from Dover Canyon Winery on blending trials -- wow!"

No Bull Grape
"In particular would like to point out Dover Canyon Winery as they have a great blog . . ."
The Winery Web Site Report
Mike Duffy at the WWSR says, "I'm quite willing to wait a while for one of Dover Canyon's stories . . ."
Top Ten Sources - Wine News & Commentary
"Whether you're a Two-Buck-Chuck fan or hopeless cork dork . . . these feeds will help you keep up in between tastings."
Vino24.TV
" . . . una fonte di informazione più profonda."
Vinography
Dan and Mary have decided, staunchly, to keep their winery from ever becoming something that doesn't feel like a family farm. They've even written what can only be described as a manifesto about it on their very well written blog. If you want to know what makes small wineries so special, I've come across few such articulate explanations . . .

Thanks, Jens. We also have an annual Wine & Golf Symposium, which is in spirit very similar to our annual Superbowl party. How will you choose? ;)
