Winemaker Joe Farley, who is the F in FS, has been passionate about wine since his time spent studying at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, California. After graduating in the 80’s, he went to work as vineyard manager for Martin Vineyards, known today as Martin Weyrich Winery. Within a month, the assistant winemaker’s position became available, Joe jumped at the opportunity. He worked under mentor Nick Martin learning the craft of winemaking, a position he held for over 2 years. After that Joe and his father started their own wine label called Abby D’Or and opened their tasting room in Templeton, California over 20 years ago. From there Joe received a call from his buddy Tobin James of Tobin James Cellars. Toby offered Joe the assistant winemaker’s position. For the next 4 years Joe and Toby worked side by side making premium wine, and they remain close friends to this day.

Joe moved on to become a respected assistant vineyard manager for French Camp Vineyards, one of the largest wine grape growing operations in San Luis Obispo County. Joe knows that great wines begin with the nurturing of the grapes, and he oversees the whole process from growing the grapes to harvest to the end product.
