The dream started years ago
when friends, Santiago & Mercedes Achaval from Argentina
and Jim and Azmina Madsen from San
Diego, met at a B&B in Paso Robles, CA in the
1980s. Santiago was smitten by the wine bug and decided, “Someday I am going to
make wine!” With no formal training Santiago
decided to start making wine and is now a renowned winemaker. After the last of
their children flew the coup, Jim and Az had an empty nest. Restless, they
returned to the B&B for a visit. It sparked the wine bug for Madsens. They
made a call to their dear friend, Santiago,
and in 2009, The Farm Winery became
a reality. The Farm Winery is now on its fifth season of winemaking. The
vineyards are located in the Adelaida District in Westside Paso Robles, with
windy roads, massive oak trees with busy woodpeckers, free roaming cows, deer
and turkey grazing, and more wildlife and landscape to mystify your inner being.
The Big Game
celebrates the rivalry between the Rhone and Bordeaux regions. The grapes used are
Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Syrah. It’s layered, complex, and
mouth-filling. There is truly a flavor in it for everyone. Tasting notes: sweet
cherry and very light oak aromatics; Black currant, blackberry, oak, mint, and
dark cherry flavors experienced along whole palate. Food pairings: Veal a la Madsen (recipe to follow),
grilled lamb, and T-bone steak. Thumbs up!
