MONTE RIO CELLARS
Monte Rio is a passion project between longtime friends, the famed sommelier and restauranteur Patrick Capiello and the highly-respected third-wave California winemaker Pax Mahle. Their philosophy is to make hand-crafted wines that evoke old California, using family-owned, organic vineyards, lesser-known varietals and a natural, minimalist approach in the cellar to produce affordable, honest and delicious wines.
