Created by winemaker, Steve Glossner and his business partner & wife Lola. Steve has a long history of winemaking in Paso Robles. He started his career at Justin in 1994 and then worked for Adelaida Cellars & Halter Ranch before turning to consulting and starting PasoPort. PasoPort is a ten year old family winery with production of about 1500 cases focusing on port-style wines. Our bottles are branded with original artwork in the style of the 1940’s and 50’s. In 2013 the winery purchased an alembic pot still for the purpose of producing our own brandy to fortify the port-style wines.
Per Caso
In 2014 PasoPort acquired Per Caso Cellars. Steve has been Per Caso's winemaker since day one and began making wines for Per Caso back in 07. Per Caso's wine portfolio consists of several single varietal & blended red & white wines.
Pendray’s Distillery
The newest addition to the PasoPort family of brands,‘Pendray’s Distillery’, named after Lola’s maiden name and originating from Cornwall England, ‘Pendray’ which is Cornish, is a race of people with a rich Celtic heritage and an indomitable fighting spirit who inhabited the Southwest of England. Having a distillery was always part of the business plan for PasoPort, in fact, we had a distillery in mind when we made the first port for PasoPort, it just took a little time to accomplish. In 2013, we purchased a 500 liter German pot still from Holstein. Now, in our fourth year of distilling, we are in full production of spirits for sipping, mixing and fortifying our port wines. Our portfolio currently consists of Port Barrel Aged Brandy's and Grappa's along with a few seasonal fruit based Liqueurs.
