2015: Year of the Grape
Standing over the smoldering detritus of 2014, we are filled with tenuous optimism. Maybe this is THE year that solutions manifest, pieces fall into place, and everything just CLICKS. Wow. We're swept away by a great swell of confidence and hope and nausea. Maybe we shouldn't have set fire to that lacquered cabinet after all.

Vendor Details
Tower 15 Winery
- Location:
- Paso Robles, CA
Tower 15 Winery is inspired by an area along the beach in Pacific Palisades, California, where the lifeguard tower number 15 stands as a local beacon to families and friends. Meeting at the beach at Tower 15 has been a tradition for many, whether to celebrate the sunshine, the surf, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or the sunset. A local icon evoking so many wonderful memories is a perfect name for these wines.
Tim Perr, along with a group of wine-loving colleagues, founded Pali Wine Co. in 2005, with the goal of producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from top vineyards along the West Coast. On Tim’s many travels to visit vineyards from Santa Barbara up to the Sonoma Coast, he would often stop halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, in the small wine-producing town of Paso Robles. Quickly realizing the high quality Rhone and Bordeaux varietals grown in this region, he could not resist buying grapes from various vineyards in the area to experiment with wine production. A few grape tons soon became many tons of grapes, and Tower 15 was born.
The Tower 15 label is a true work of art, created by local Santa Monica artist, Michael Giliberti. Capturing the beautiful landscape along the beach, the label is a constant reminder of the many memories and friendships formed at Tower 15, and we hope it will inspire you as well.
