STANLEY BARRIOS - PROPRIETOR AND WINEMAKER

Stanley was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. While working at a financial firm in Los Angeles, he began collecting and sharing wines with associates. He formed wine tasting groups and competitive tastings with colleagues, further expanding his knowledge in wines from around the globe. In 2013 while still living and working in Los Angeles, Stanley did a harvest internship in Paso Robles where he learned the craft of winemaking. The following year he purchased four tons of grapes from the west side Paso Robles, which later became the first vintage of TOP wines.
