SUMMARY:OCWS Outing - Frisby Cellars
DESCRIPTION:Did you know there are more than a dozen wineries right here in Orange County? \nSome have been around for more than a decade while others are new to the game. It is the hope that in the coming months and next few years that the Orange County Wine Society will schedule events at the various locations. \nOur first venture will be at Frisby Cellars at its Rancho Mission Viejo location on May 11\, from 6 to 8 p.m. Tastings of six wines will cost $25 and a charcuterie board is included\, so plan to have an early or late dinner. There are only 50 slots available. \nFrisby Cellars is located at 28522 Airoso St.\, Rancho Mission Viejo. They can be reached at (949) 312-2628. \n \nWhen Josh Frisby decided he wanted to make wine commercially\, his vision was simple: to bring his love of Central Coast wines – particularly those from Paso Robles – to his home turf in Orange County. \nFifteen years later\, the 48-year-old fire captain has left his stamp in our backyard\, operating three tasting rooms in idyllic locations\, one of which boasts the county’s only full production combination winery and brewery. For Frisby\, his passion for wine has blossomed into a rewarding venture. \n“In the beginning\, I said I wanted to make wine that I liked and if I can’t sell it\, then I will drink it\,” Frisby said. “Now\, my wines have improved significantly with years of winemaking experience and have been tailored to not only what I enjoy but what our customers want.” \nAsk most winemakers about how they got into the business and most will say getting that experience laid the foundation for what was to come. Frisby cut his teeth helping out vintners in Paso Robles\, whether it was picking the grapes or picking their brains about what makes a good wine. He paired that with getting a Level 1 sommelier certificate to educate himself about the complexities of winemaking. \nFrisby Cellars started in 2008 and a year later the first vintage was released. Frisby produced about 100 cases and then decided to open his first tasting room in Lake Forest in 2013. Six years later\, he jumped on a plum location in Dana Point Harbor and opened a second tasting room that has ocean views and what he describes as a “fantastic people-watching place.” \nHis latest endeavor might be his most ambitious. His newest tasting/tap room is a 6\,000-square-foot tasting/tap/barrel room that has sweeping views of rolling hillsides in some of the last undeveloped portions of Orange County. \nThe toughest part for anyone who visits the RMV facility that opened in June 2021 is making the decision – do I want to drink award-winning wine or do I want to try one of a dozen or so craft beers? \n“Some days you don’t want to drink wine\, so you can have the opportunity of having beer instead\,” Frisby said. “It is nice to have that choice.” \nThose who want to join Frisby Cellars club memberships can choose to receive the traditional wine shipments or they can indulge in the “lush” membership: a bottle of wine every month\, a 32 oz. beer crowler\, four wine or beer flights per month\, along with discounts on purchases. \nFrisby has a robust wine selection and has shifted more to the Rhone varietals. His Syrahs are a big hit —and consistently win awards — and he also makes Grenache\, Mourvedre and Viognier. He said he is inspired and guided by the wines made in Central California that have become the backbone of his wine production. \nThe biggest payoff for Frisby has been the validation of receiving 15 gold medals at competitions\, including the OC Fair Commercial Wine Competition. \n“To get that recognition from all the hard work is very satisfying\,” he said. \nHe also is a man of milestones. That initial 100 cases has ballooned into making 3\,000 cases of wine a year. His club membership sits at more than 1\,000 but he envisions boosting that number to 3\,000 in the next few years. \nWhich leads to the obvious question – how does he find time to work full time and run a winery? \nHe plans to retire in a few years and move up to Paso Robles and open a small winery while continuing to keep the Orange County locations open. He has enjoyed providing a wine tasting experience to people in Orange County\, many of whom also share Frisby’s love of the Central Coast wineries. \n“I hope people can come to Frisby Cellars and enjoy a Paso wine tasting experience\,” he said. “We offer three unique venues in the OC to enjoy this experience along with friendly staff\, food options\, live music and fun events.”
