Be the first person to write a business review for Federico Paternina, S.A.

Hi. I'm Tito Beveridge and I'm the founder and owner of Titos Handmade Vodka. I'm from San Antonio, Texas. I went to Vanderbilt for a year then to UT, University of Texas at Austin. I graduated with degrees in geology and geophysics. I got into the oil and gas business and did that in Texas and then down in Venezuela and Colombia and ran heli-portable dynamite seismic crews down there and came back and started a drilling company in Houston, got tired of chasing the buck and decided to move back to Austin, Tx.I did ground water geology here and got in the mortgage business and it was when i was in the mortgage business that i started making flavored vodka for my friends for christmas presents. That was in about i guess '92, '93. I was at a party one time and a stranger came up to me and said 'Hey you're the vodka guy' and i was like no, contraire, i am the mortgage guy. And that's when i kinda started thinking that this guy's telling me i need to go sell my flavored vodkas and this was the first time i really started thinking seriously about it.

Founded in 1972 by father and son, Leonard and Brooks Firestone, Firestone Vineyard has enjoyed 35 years of family stewardship. Recently, so that they might concentrate on their burgeoning beer business and smaller Curtis Winery, the Firestone family decided to sell their iconic winery. In doing so, they turned to fellow Santa Barbara vintner Bill Foley (Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery, Lincourt Vineyards) as the logical next shepherd for the famous property. As the Firestone’s identified earlier on, Bill, too, recognized Santa Barbara County as the ideal location for the production of world class wines. Bill has vowed to continue the Firestone tradition in striving for the very best in vineyard management and cutting edge winemaking discipline. The vineyard focuses on optimal physiological balance in the vines yielding wines that are brightly flavored, crisp and delicious. Estate Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah vineyards are located on a series of mesas that have gravelly sub-soils, ideally oriented for perfect exposure. The Firestone Vineyard tasting room offers regular winery tours, delicious wines to sample and an idyllic setting for al fresco picnics. Visit the “new” Firestone Vineyard and experience the vision of hospitality that is shared by Bill Foley and the Firestone Family!

A family hobby has turned into a flourishing family business. Jerry and Flora Komes started Flora Springs Wine Company as a single vineyard to keep them busy during retirement. The company, now run by their children John Komes and Julie Garvey and their families) operates a dozen Napa Valley vineyards and a winery. It distributes its red and white wine varietals under the Flora Springs label through its tasting room, via its Web site, and by mail order to states that allow such shipments. Flora Springs also offers tastings for corporate and group events.
