Bye Bye Firestone, Hello Foley!

Firestone Winery, the first to create estate wines in the Santa Ynez Wine Region has sold not only its estate winery in Santa Ynez and Paso Robles, but its name as well. Foley Wine Group, which owns Foley, Santa Ynez and LinCourt Wineries in Santa Ynez, has taken over rightful ownership and is now the biggest wine conglomerate in that wine region. Both of the Firestone Wineries will keep their name and their excellent staff, so much will seem unchanged. All except the absence of our delightful celebrity Andrew Firestone whose fame was made on the ABC show The Bachelor. Now, your best chance at finding the family that has made its mark on the region since 1972 is at their boutique Curtis Winery and at the Firestone Breweries.
