About Brian Benson Cellars
Brian Benson grew up in Paso wine, son of Dark Star Cellars' founding family, and built his own label as a winemaker-artist double act: his paintings hang on the Limestone Way walls and star on every bottle, wrapping excellent small-lot reds in canvases of his own making.
Weekend tastings, often poured by Brian and his wife Susan, run eight wines deep with the fee waived on purchase. Second-generation Paso, first-person art.
