Editorial profile
Field Recordings is a minimal-intervention winery based in Tin City, Paso Robles, built by winemaker Andrew Jones as a personal catalog of the growers and sites he values most. Rather than a conventional varietal or proprietary lineup, most of its wines are named directly for the vineyard they come from — Jurassic Park's own-rooted Chenin Blanc near Los Olivos, the biodynamic Koligian vineyard's Rhône-and-Bordeaux field blend, the Sinton family's century-old Avenales Ranch (Shell Creek), and the organically farmed Old Potrero vineyard near Lake Lopez in Arroyo Grande Valley. The winery is also known more broadly for skin-contact orange wines, chillable reds, pét-nats and other minimal-intervention styles.
