About The Winery:

Founded in 2012, Lost Blues  is a vision made real by two hands, a strong back, and the help of many friends.

One of the really exciting projects in Paso Robles, Lost Blues is a tribute to the old times in this region where things moved very slowly. At a mere 19 years of age, Gio Grandinetti worked a harvest at Meridian Vineyards and he found his calling in wine. It wasn’t until 2012 when he started his own label, Lost Blues, and priced the wines at only $42.00.

The owner and winemaker has always been fascinated that some of the best blues music ever recorded has been lost as the recordings degraded. This reminded him of making wine, a life’s work that ultimately disappears. This sort of temporary media parallel really resonated with him and gave the name to his label “Lost Blues”. The label’s art design tends to have this “man vs nature” sort of feel to them. Gio really appreciated the struggle they depict. Often winemaking can feel like a struggle, as he says: you are working with this very natural thing, but you must bend it to your will.
