Born in San Francisco, Charlie Curry began his love of wine in the 1970’s while running the Kitchens of the Winery Restaurants on the San Francisco Peninsula. In the 80’s and 90’s he turned to selling meats and seafood’s to the finer restaurants on the San Francisco Peninsula, north to Napa. This afforded him the opportunity to visit Northern California’s wine regions while it expanded in numbers and improved in quality. During this time he often dreamed of starting his own vineyard and winery. While visiting his wife’s brother in Temecula, in the mid 90’s, they discovered Temecula’s growing wine region. In 2000 Charlie and wife Michele, purchased 16 acres on a hillside overlooking the Temecula Valley. They immediately planted Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and later Cabernet Franc. Last year they became a bonded licensed Winery and released their ’04 Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes from that vintage were also sold to a local Winery which received a Gold Medal for their Syrah, made from 100% of Curry Vineyards Syrah grapes, at the California State Fair in Sacramento. Be watching for the soon release of their 2005 Syrah.
