In the span of a dozen years, Niels and Bimmer have gone from making a few barrels of wine for family and friends in a rented corner of someone else's winery to developing a custom-crush operation and a 20,000-case operation for Castoro Cellars. Most recently, the Udsens purchased two local vineyards, one aptly named “Hog Heaven” after the wild hogs that inhabit the area. The second vineyard, "Blind Faith," got its name when the opportunity to buy the vineyard arose. Niels’ wife Berit, or "Bimmer," was in Denmark at the time. Niels called her and together they acted quickly on “blind faith.
Castoro Cellars currently buys approximately 50 percent of their fruit from a number of local vineyards. "Buying grapes from over 40 different vineyards has given me great flexibility in producing a consistently good product each year," says Niels. However, "with more and more vineyard owners in Paso Robles establishing their own wineries, there’s a lot less fruit to go around." As a result, the Udsen’s have embarked on their own vineyard development program. Hog Heaven and Blind Faith are just the start of more to come.
The winery is located at 6465 Von Dollen Road in San Miguel and has 400 producing acres of land. It is open to the public during the week from 10 to 4 and gives visitors the opportunity to see what can be accomplished when the winemaker is never satisfied with the status quo.
