Swimming with the big boys but having more fun doing it, Slacker wines don’t worry about expectations, reviews, and scores. Linne Calodo’s minimalist wines have gained a cult following among passionate consumers and sophisticated somms alike, and Slacker, Matt’s second label, has all there is to love at a more accessible price point. In the cellar, there’s no formula Matt makes wine by the taste and feel, crushing fruit straight into the barrel. Vineyards are farmed sustainably, and vines are surrounded by oak trees, olives and fruit trees. Matt started Linne Calodo in 1998 as a side project while driving forklifts at Wild Horse Winery, with the intention of producing small batch, low intervention wines that showed the very best of West Paso terroir.Īnd that he did - always fine-tuning, Matt has become known for his impressive, fresh blends of Central Coast grown Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Zinfandel (among others). It was during this period that he began apprenticing at local wineries, sparking his passion in winemaking and (unknowingly) launching a career in the field. Born in South California, Matt moved to San Luis Obispo in 1990 to study biochemistry at Cal Poly University. One of the most revered producers in Paso Robles, Matt Trevisan’s conceptual and artisan wines have made him a pioneer in California’s small production wine movement.
