Clos Mimi Winery

by Kady on February 8, 2012

A true family affair, Tim and Mimi Spear were married in 1995. An accomplished wine maker already, Tim was offered the opportunity to produce his own wine out of three tons of très divin syrah. In 2000, after producing three vintages of his own wine at Creston Vineyards (where he worked as assistant winemaker), Creston was closing and it was time to focus on Clos Mimi. Producing syrah exclusively, Tim has gained the reputation for well crafted, cutting edge wines that set the standard for American syrahs.

Recently, Clos Mimi has christened it’s newest addition to the family: a full modern, feng shui’d winery. Tim’s attention to history and classical techniques are clearly balanced with the best equipment and strongest passion. This winery breaths life and energy from the single minded Syrah to the family photos dotted across their website.
