Continental Wine Collection Debuts on the 50th Anniversary of Historic Continental Vineyard

Continental Wine Collection, the new company unifying Paso Robles’ Broken Earth, CV Wines, and Pull Wines, has announced its debut, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the historic Continental Vineyard. In 1973, a group called Continental Vintners—consisting of Herman Schwartz as managing partner, in collaboration with renowned Hollywood actors Wayne Rodgers, James Cann, Jack Webb, and Peter Falk—acquired the sprawling 2,500-acre property in Paso Robles. Fifty years later, their collective ambition to foster world-class viticulture on the Central Coast lives on, as Continental Wine Collection emerges to honor the long-standing legacy of this storied, Certified California Sustainable vineyard through its trio of distinguished labels. “Rancho Tierra Rejada, translating to ‘Land of the Worked Earth,’ was the original name of the ranch, and this inspired the creation of our Broken Earth brand,” shares Justin Tooley, general manager and vice president of Continental Wine Collection. “In 1973, the name of the ranch was changed to Continental Vineyard concurrent with the original plantings. It is by no mistake that 50 years later, we have developed the perfect expression by using Continental Wine Collection to describe our family of brands under one halo company, marrying the past with the present.” Indeed, Continental Wine Collection is a clear reflection of the company’s commitment to honor its legacy as it steps boldly into the future. “Continental Vineyard played a vital role in the early roots of Paso Robles as a winegrowing region, pioneering large-scale vineyard operations and exploring an array of grape varieties adaptable to the region’s unique terroir,” explains Tooley. “Today, under the stewardship of the Forsythe family, this tradition continues through the introduction of diverse grape varieties new to not only Paso Robles but also the U.S. We are proud to continue pushing the limits of what the premium Paso Robles wine region has to offer.”
