Wedell Cellars

The Wedell Cellars dream began in the late 1970’s when Maurice Wedell began working with a well known French Restauranteur in Los Angeles. During the next ten years with the restauranteur’s guidance, Maurice developed a passion for wine. This passion led Maurice in 1988 to move along with his wife Susan, and their newborn son Justin, to the Central Coast of California, an area that had at that time already become known for producing highly acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Immediately, the Wedell’s planted a small experimental vineyard of Chardonnay in what became their first step in realizing their dream of creating wines styled after the great Burgundies of France.
