The name, Proulx, is Kevin's maternal family name and its roots lie in Genoa?s family vineyard, located in the heart of Paso Robles' renowned West Side. The fifty-five year old vineyard has produced stellar wines for many years, and when the Riley's began crushing fruit for Proulx in 2004, it did not disappoint. After taking a chance and chasing their dream to make exceptional wine of their own, they hit the ground running, selling out of 200 cases of their first vintage in a matter of months.
