Stanton Barrett Family Wines

Our story begins in Bishop, California, where our vintner, Stanton Barrett, was born into a family of legends: his parents were world-class athletes, and his grandfather, Dave McCoy, founded Mammoth Mountain. Speaking about Mammoth, Dave poignantly said, “It wasn’t a job; it was a love affair.” That same mindset and level of commitment fuel Stanton’s desire to achieve the highest standard in winemaking so that we present our customers with the most excellent experience, value, and fine California wines made with passion.  

Stanton Barrett Family Wines is built upon a pursuit of life with passion. The simplicity of passion fuels the most complex burning desire that drives the efforts of those here who strive for excellence without compromise. A daily endeavor with each detail considered, having one goal and expectation in mind that creates an everlasting impression of exquisite pleasure for one's palate. We believe our values emulate traditional practices of winemaking with no expense or effort spared in the process. A practice that is passed on to our consumers as the foundation of Stanton Barrett Family Wines, with excellence and quality for all we strive for. 

Our customer is the forefront of all our visions in which we mold and create our wines and business after. Stanton Barrett Family Wines brings you our labor of love. A love that’s derived from an infinity of winemakers through history to provide the most excellent tasting wines and service without compromise—with just our effort to strive for the very best with honesty to redeem ancient vines, nature, and a history of perfection that we trust sits in this bottle that makes this revelation whole.  

“May you share and indulge with passion in life, love, friendships & helping others.” - Stanton Barrett
