A shared dream of producing fine wine and living a quality lifestyle was the inspiration for JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery. Co-proprietors Justin and Deborah Baldwin come from families only once removed from agricultural life. Deborah was born in a rural part of Washington State and Justin's parents were raised on farms in Pennsylvania and Minnesota. Deborah's desire for a cosmopolitan environment led her to a career in mortgage banking in Los Angeles, where she honed her financial and administrative talents. Justin, although raised in San Francisco, knew and admired the former, more rural Napa and developed an interest in wine while working as an international investment banker and entertaining clients.

In 1981, Justin and Deborah Baldwin purchased 160 acres of land in the remote Adelaide Valley west of Paso Robles on California's Central Coast. They also released their first wine, a sparkling Blanc de Noir made from purchased fruit (their vines were not yet mature). In 1982, they planted 72 acres, concentrating on the three classic red Bordeaux grape varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Nineteen eighty-five marked construction of the winery and in 1987, their first crush of 100% estate JUSTIN wines.

The business continued to grow throughout the late eighties and early nineties, with increased production, a new winery building, and the opening of the JUST Inn, a luxurious French auberge. The Baldwins introduced the winery's Guest Chef Dinner Series featuring some of the nation's best chefs as they prepare elegant candlelight dinners set amidst the barrels within the cellars. In 1998, they opened a restaurant on premise named "Deborah's Room." It quickly became a destination for fine dining, and truly highlights the winery's commitment to food and wine. Their guest chef dinner series is another way they like to promote their wines to the public.

At the forefront of the Baldwins' philosophy is a desire for their wines to be entirely estate grown, produced and bottled and to remain a family business with a reputation for being the leading boutique producer of premium wines on the Central Coast. They also want to have fun along the way and celebrate the healthful and fraternal contribution wine has made to society. Beginning with their first vintages, and continuing through their latest releases, JUSTIN wines have received numerous awards and accolades, including the London International Wine & Spirit Competition's Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande trophy awarded to the 1994 ISOSCELES for the Best Blended Red Wine Worldwide, number 6 in the top 100 for the Wine Spectator for their 1997 ISOSCELES and Decanter's World Wine Awards Best USA Blend for their 2005 ISOSCELES.
