The Daily Press May 12, 1993
This article, written by current Paso Robles City Councilman Fred Strong in conjunction with the Paso Robles Wine Festival, summarizes how Howie grows great grapes. In 1993 the family vineyards had grown to just over 100 acres, today they comprise 500 acres. The article states that our initial vineyards were planted in 1987 - not correct. Our first vineyards were planted in 1982. |
