About Piedra Creek Winery
When Piedra Creek was bonded in 1984 it ranked among the smallest wineries in all of California: Romeo Meo Zuech and his wife Margaret made wine in a small building behind their home on a knoll in the Edna Valley, having graduated from a Westlake Village kitchen-and-laundry-room operation that Sunset Magazine featured in 1978. Meo, who started his grower-winemaker career in earnest at age 75, sourced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the legendary MacGregor Vineyard on Orcutt Road, where the couple first lived, and Zinfandel from Benito Dusi's old vines in Paso Robles.
Piedra Creek belongs to the Edna Valley's founding small-producer generation, the sixteen-odd family cellars making excellent tiny lots while Edna Valley Vineyard, Corbett Canyon, Maison Deutz and Talley took the headlines. The Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County has documented the Zuechs' story as a treasured piece of county heritage. Records on current operations are modest, so visitors should confirm status, but the legacy is secure: proof that passion, a backyard building and great neighbors' grapes can make history.
