In partnership with the SLO International Film Festival, the Wine History Project of SLO County will premier their new documentary film, 91 Harvests. The film will be screened Wednesday, March 18th at 7:30pm at the historic Fremont Theater in downtown San Luis Obispo, and Sunday, March 22 at 4pm at the Park Cinemas in downtown Paso Robles.
91 Harvests, the Wine History Project’s most recent documentary film produced by Partners2Media, takes a loving look at four generations of a Paso Robles farming family, the Dusi’s. Famous for growing premium wine grapes which have been sought after by some of California’s top winemakers for decades, their story spans more than 100 years and 91 harvests.
The Wednesday evening event is a double feature and includes the premier of 91 Harvests, as well as the film Full Boar, which is produced by Several Guys. The event is being dubbed as “East Meets West” and will feature wines from J Dusi and Eberle, along with a panel including Wine History Project Director Libbie Agran and Film Producers Tim Clott and Noel Resnick, members of the Dusi family, and will be moderated by Adam Montiel of the Cork Dorks. Tickets are available on the SLO Film Fest website at: slofilmfest.org

Two New Prohibition Exhibits in Paso Robles: In commemoration of the 100-year anniversary of the beginning of Prohibition on January 17, 1920, the Wine History Project has opened two new exhibits in Paso Robles. The first exhibit “Temperance, Teetotalers and Taboo” features the history and movement of temperance groups, abstinence pledges and pre-prohibition restaurants and is currently open at the Paso Robles Historical Society. The second, “Grape Expectations: Break Their Hearts…and Have No Mercy”, showcases the California wine industry just before Prohibition, how the industry survived Prohibition, and the many uses of grapes during the era. The exhibit is now open at the Paso Robles Pioneer Museum.
