In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, we’re celebrating a milestone that’s been a century in the making. The Dusi family has been farming Paso Robles vineyards for 100 years, and today, we’re sitting down with Janell Dusi of J Dusi Wines and her brother, vineyard manager Matt Dusi, to talk about what that legacy really means. From the early days of Benito Dusi planting some of the region’s most iconic Zinfandel vines to the modern innovations that keep the family name thriving, this episode dives deep into what it takes to balance history with forward-thinking winemaking.

The Dusi Family Legacy

Janell and Matt open up about the family dynamics of running a generational business, the inspiration behind their special ‘Cent’Anni’ commemorative Zinfandel, and what makes Paso such a special place to grow and craft wine. And of course, we get into the fun stuff—like what not to do in the Dusi household, who’s the worst at potlucks, and more.
