About Aaron Wines
Aaron Jackson grew up in Cayucos between the Pacific and the Santa Lucias, and while studying wine at Cal Poly he pooled weekend-job pennies to launch his eponymous label with a 2002 Petite Sirah, a deliberately contrarian bet on one of California's most historic but least fashionable grapes. A Master's in Oenology from the University of Adelaide and cellar years at acclaimed Paso houses sharpened the program: powerful, age-worthy Petite Sirah and blends like Trespasser from the steep hillsides of the Willow Creek, Adelaida and Templeton Gap districts.
Jackson's other obsession runs the opposite direction: Pinot Noir and aromatic whites from vineyards closer to the ocean than almost anywhere in California, bottled under the companion Aequorea label, Latin for of the sea, launched in 2012. That coastal conviction turned civic in 2017, when Jackson led the effort to create the San Luis Obispo Coast AVA, approved in 2021. The four-person team pours both labels in a Tin City tasting room at 3050 Limestone Way, steps from where everything is made, daily from 11am to 5:30pm.
