New York .... Mountain!

Our friends over at www.RedWineBuzz, broke this story in mid-July.


York Mountain Winery for sale.


Historic York Mountain Winery is up for sale, Avenue Vine reports. The Owners of Martin & Weyrich Winery purchased York Mountain Winery in 2001, but are selling it to concentrate on their namesake brand, without implementing their plans for improving the vineyard.

Founded in 1882 by Andrew York, the winery is the oldest continuously operating winery in California. It is the only winery, but not the only vineyard in the AVA of the same name (awarded in 1983).

The 9,3000 acres surrounding the winery in the Templeton Gap are tucked against the eastern slopes of the Santa Lucia Mountains and straddle Highway 46. This is on the western border of the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County. The AVA is at elevations of 1,500 feet, just 7 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
