Dave and Becky Corey are the two people behind the operation of CORE, involved in every aspect of the family run business. After working in different areas of the vineyard & winery industry for many years, we decided to take the plunge and introduced the CORE label in 2001. Our focus is working with Mourvedre and Grenache, making blends that feature these varietals. Our vineyard sources include grapes from the Cuyama Valley in Santa Barbara County. Currently, we purchase small amounts of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon from Barnwood Vineyards and farm a 17.5 acre vineyard (Alta Mesa Vineyard) on a long-term lease.

Total production available for sale this year will be just under 1000 cases. We are fully integrated into our business--from growing the grapes to selling winery direct to all CA accounts which currently represents about 55 on and off-premise accounts. We also work with a few distributors in other parts of the country and send approximately 125 cases out of state.
