About Flying Suitcase Wines
Flying Suitcase Wines is named for the nomadic winemaker's most essential piece of equipment: the suitcase that travels with them between vineyard sources, carrying both their tools and their accumulated knowledge across different terroirs. The flying suitcase declares a wine philosophy of portable expertise — bringing winemaking skill to the best available fruit rather than owning a single permanent estate.
The Central Coast project sources Grenache and Syrah from El Pomar District and Adelaida District vineyard sources in Paso Robles, with the nomadic selection philosophy the name implies: the best available sites for each variety, approached with the portable conviction that good winemaking is about the winemaker's choices as much as the estate's land.
The appointment-only format keeps the relationships personal and the production scale appropriate to a winery whose identity is perpetual motion.
