Core Wines

“The core of every wine begins in the vineyard”

Dave and Becky Corey started CORE Wines in 2001. The couple is involved in every aspect of their family run business. Their focus is working with Rhone varietals from the vineyard they farm (Alta Mesa Vineyard) in Santa Barbara County. They make their wine at Central Coast Wine Services in Santa Maria, with a total production of 3000 cases.

“Alta Mesa Vineyard – a good attitude and a high altitude”
Located in eastern Santa Barbara County in the Cuyama Valley, Alta Mesa Vineyard sits perched above Barnwood Vineyards at 3200 feet in elevation. Directly southwest of the vineyard is a close look of Cuyama Peak at 5300 feet in elevation, a feature of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range and part of the Los Padres National Forest. As the crow flies, Alta Mesa is approximately 30 miles over the hills from Santa Barbara.

The philosophy of vineyard farming at Alta Mesa is centered on the principles of sustainable agriculture and the active participation of the people who are making the wine, bottling the wine, marketing the wine, selling the wine, delivering the wine - now you get the meaning of CORE!
