J Dusi Wines brings you “A Family Tradition with a New Perspective.” Janell Dusi is digging up the roots of her family’s heritage 80 year old Zinfandel vineyard in Paso Robles, California. From this head pruned and dry farmed vineyard, she is creating one fabulous Zinfandel and Zinfandel Port that carries the essence of that distinct “Dusi Fruit.” Janell has been making wine for friends and family to enjoy for the last ten years. She began making wine with her grandfather, Dante Dusi, teaching her the basic Italian style in his basement. Now she is releasing her third vintage to the public, J Dusi Wines. One unique characteristic that comes through in Janell’s winemaking is that she personally hand picks during harvest, drives the tractors, crushes the fruit and covers every step of the process with a smile. Good work ethic was instilled in Janell at a young age. Today, the 100 acre vineyard operation is still a family affair. Any given day you can drive onto the ranch and see four generations working and playing throughout the vineyard.

Please read through the next few pages and find out why she is carrying on the Family Tradition but with a twist of a New Perspective!
