About Jason Stephens Wines:
Many folks fantasize of running a winery when they retire. Jason decided to pursue his dream while still in his twenties. Leaving the corporate world behind, in 2004 and only 27 years old, Jason started caring for the equivalent of 15,000 cases of wine, which he sold to other wineries for their premium to ultra premium programs. He knew eventual he would want his own label and winery with a belief that the core essence of the wine should be built for and around great friends, great times and great wines. Jason didn’t stop there. He believes strong in providing a great value to his customers. Jason says “I want to craft pleasing wines at exceptional values…” and with this foundation he started Jason-Stephens.
Jason started making wine after graduating from Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo with the first Wine and Viticulture Minor earned from the University. Two years later Mr. Goelz started his first vineyard. Although of modest size, he had a vision is to expand operations and production. “I love the idea of planting and growing vines that, with care and nurture, will produce quality grapes and therefore quality wines for years to come” Jason said when asked about his passion for wine. The process of transforming raw grapes into wine is fascinating to Jason. The blend of art and science required to make a pleasing wine is stimulating to the mind and soul, a perfect combination of Jason’s strong analytical mind and his devotion to the art of wine. Jason loves creating something from beginning to end that requires such patience and meticulous quality control even though the process can take more than two years for the wine to be of age to be enjoyed with great friends and family.
“My ultimate goal is to make engaging wines that can be enjoyed everyday and for special occasions” says Jason. Jason-Stephens is made for enjoyment and bringing people together. We want nothing less than wine drinkers to enjoy our handcrafted wines.
