The Craig Stoller Collection is excited to announce that its portfolio of brands, Sextant Wines and Paris Valley Road Estate Winery, will expand their California presence with Southern Glazer’s under the wing of their Signature Fine Wine & Spirits folio.
Paso Robles, CA (October 29, 2024) – Proprietors Nancy and Craig Stoller have had an extraordinary year as they continue to build upon their legacy of winemaking excellence in 2024. In May, US Sailing, the national governing body of the sport of sailing, proudly announced Sextant Wines as the official wine partner of US Sailing. This partnership marks a significant milestone for the Paso Robles-based winery, which is also celebrating its 20th Harvest Anniversary. Known for its award-winning Cabernet, Zinfandel, and boutique clonal blends, Sextant Wines has long been admired for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
The Stoller family is also celebrating their newly expanded portfolio with Paris Valley Road Estate Winery, a Bordeaux-focused estate nestled along Highway 46 in Paso Robles, CA. Originally the historic Arciero Winery, Paris Valley Road was exquisitely renovated in 2020 to offer an unparalleled wine-tasting experience. The 7,000-square-foot tasting room, stunning patio area, and estate restaurant Cépage provide guests with a passport to France, right in the heart of California’s Central Coast.
With over 500 acres of vineyards spanning Edna Valley to Monterey County, The Craig Stoller Collection, family-owned and operated since 2004, is excited to embark on its next chapter of growth. The Stollers are proud to announce a new partnership with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, a collaboration that promises to elevate their brands and expand their presence in the wine market.
“We are thrilled to partner with Southern Glazer’s and be a part of their incredible track record of success,” said Craig Stoller, Proprietor of Sextant Wines and Paris Valley Road Estate Winery. “This partnership allows us to expand our reach while maintaining the high standards of winemaking that have always been our hallmark. We’re excited for the future and what we can achieve together.”
Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, the largest distributor in the United States, is highly enthusiastic about the new partnership. The addition of Sextant and Paris Valley Road to their portfolio aligns with their commitment to high-quality wines and supports a legacy of excellence in winemaking. With this collaboration, there is a strong sense of optimism for the future as both companies work together to further grow these exceptional brands.
Founded in 2004, The Craig Stoller Collection is rooted in multiple generations of grape growing and winemaking expertise. A third-generation grape grower, Craig Stoller’s experience is anchored by Sunridge Nurseries, North America’s largest grapevine nursery, which his family founded in 1977. Leveraging exclusive relationships with European governments, the Stollers have brought certified grape nursery stock from France, Portugal, and Spain to their California vineyards, positioning themselves at the forefront of winemaking innovation. As they continue to honor their commitment to producing world-class wines, this new partnership with Southern Glazer’s marks a pivotal moment in their journey of growth and expansion.
