Located in the Paso Robles Wine Country, 22 Hundred Cellars was established in the summer of 2006. Co-founders, Eric Schnyder, Scott Gilchrist, and Andrew Jones spent several years in the area attending Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. The winery was born from their desire to produce top quality, lifestyle wines that emulate the relaxed California attitude. 22 Hundred Cellars is aptly named after the trio's former college residence, 2200 Loomis Street, where the project first began.
As California's fastest growing wine region, 22 Hundred Cellars takes advantage of the Central Coast's diverse soil conditions and optimal climate to produce full flavored wines. Wine-maker, Andrew Jones, lives locally in Paso Robles and attends to the day-to-day operations of managing the vineyard sources while maintaining a career as a field representative for a large wholesale grapevine nursery. Scott Gilchrist and Eric Schnyder run the business operations of 22 Hundred Cellars out of Leucadia, California.
The winery focuses on bright, flavorful white wines, especially Chardonnay, as well as intense full-bodied reds, including Petite Sirah. Additionally, 22 Hundred Cellars produces a variety of blended red wines that showcase the true Paso Robles quality.
