Christian Tietje, Winemaker states that “Life is a sensual experience, an adventure to be enjoyed. Winemaking is my contribution to the adventure, creating beauty from raw elements. Monster reds are my passion, and my travels have led me far and wide in pursuit of the red beast Zinfandel.”

The vision of the Four Vines project is to create powerful and stylish wines from the finest Zinfandel regions anywhere: Paso Robles, Sonoma, Napa and Amador. Mr. Tietje sought out eclectic old vine vineyards and began to craft wines which express the unique characteristics of each appellation’s soil, water and sky…the very flavor that terroir imparts to a glass of wine.

Four Vines Winery specializes in Old Vine Zinfandel wines, but also puts out some uniquely named Rhone and Spanish varietals inlcuidng Naked Chardonnay,  “Heretic” Petite Sirah, “Anarchy”, Central Coast (Syrah, Mourvedre, Zinfandel), “Peasant”, Paso Robles (Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache, Counoise), “Loco”, Paso Robles, Tempranillo Blend and others. This is a fun, exciting winery to visit and is as far from the stuffy, stereotypical tasting that you can get.
