Dusty Nabor
Dusty Nabor Wines, established in 2015 by Dusty Nabor, is a boutique winery located in an industrial area of Camarillo, California. The winery focuses on producing site-specific, terroir-driven wines from Santa Barbara County, sourcing grapes from esteemed appellations such as the Sta. Rita Hills, Ballard Canyon, Los Olivos District, and Happy Canyon. Their varietal portfolio includes Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Grenache, Syrah, Viognier, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The winery operates without a public tasting room, emphasizing a direct-to-consumer approach through their mailing list, with releases occurring two to three times annually. This model allows them to concentrate on crafting high-quality wines that authentically represent their origins and vintages.Ā
In addition to the flagship label, Dusty Nabor Wines encompasses two other brands:
-
Bolt To Wines: Curated by Karin Langer, this label offers ultra-small production wines with unique bottle designs, often featuring one-off labels created by Karin's sister, Sara Rowley.
-
NSO Wines: Standing for "No Special Occasion," this value-oriented brand provides wines at accessible price points, all sourced from the same reputable appellations and vineyards as their premium counterparts.
Dusty Nabor, often described as a "Renaissance Man" due to his diverse interests and relentless curiosity, has pursued various passions, including professional motocross, poker, auto racing, and triathlons. His journey into winemaking began with a desire to understand the intricacies of the craft, leading him to establish his own winery. Today, he remains the sole winemaker, dedicated to producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their vineyards and vintages.
