History
The Central Coast Wine Services was founded in 1988 by the Miller family as a warehouse facility for wineries in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties to store their finished cases of bottled wine. Over the years the firm has expanded into a variety of wine making services including: custom crushing of grapes, custom winemaking, bottling, and bonded wine-making production space rental.
Industry
The Central Coast Wine Services and its branch location, the Paso Robles Wine Services, are in a small peer group of wineries whose primary business is custom production for other wine labels, rather than producing wine for a label they own. Other such facilities include: Napa Wine Company, Sonoma Wine Company, Courtside Cellars, and Golden State Vinters.
These types of facilities are an American twist on various wine cooperatives such as KWV and Saint-Victor-la-Coste. They differ in that they are privately owned by the customers of the facilities and each has their own label. They are similar in that they utilize the same equipment (crusher-destemmers, wine presses, and stainless steel cooperage) and are often associated with a particular region’s enological development.
Facility
The Central Coast Wine Services is the home to 40 different labels. That represents approximately one third of the labels in Santa Barbara county. Owing to the concentration of wineries in the facility, it has become a center for other wine industry service providers such as Vinquiry.
