In 2015, Dave Phinney set his eyes on an extreme property just outside the Central Coast town of Lompoc. The abandoned row crop farm was on the western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, known for its extremely windy climate that produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay unlike anywhere. After years of planting Our Lady of Guadalupe Vineyard, Dave and his team decided to start a new estate wine brand focused on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the vineyard, known as ‘OLG’. Together with Amy Whiteford, Director of Vineyard Operations, and Chris Hussey, Assistant Winemaker, this is the only project in the United States where Dave makes wine from a vineyard he owns.
