Wine Tasting
Mystic Hills Vineyard: Epic wines,
hospitality, and family ties
From the time they planted their
Mystic Hills Vineyard, Joel
and Judy Cox have consistently
demonstrated a passion for provid-
ing unsurpassed experiences and
award-winning wines. By offering
private, complimentary tastings at
their vineyard and winery, the Cox
family lends a personal touch to
their interactions with each guest.
“We have so much love for
people,” Judy said. “We offer
private tastings by appointment
only, which allows us to spend two
or three hours with each person or
group. This gives us the chance to
get to know one another, share our
story, and just
enjoy being
together.”
Theirs is
a true love
story filled
with tenacity,
hard work,
and family.
Married for
57 years and
counting,
Joel and Judy
encourage and
support one
another even
when their
careers some-
times take
them miles apart. Their winery is
a family-run operation with their
children and grandchildren pitch-
ing in to help with the vineyard,
oversee tastings, and manage the
wine club.
Academy Award-
winning film editor
and family welcome
visitors to their
boutique winery
Joel, an Academy Award-win-
ning film editor who frequently
works with Clint Eastwood, has
edited numerous films including
“Gran Torino”, “Unforgiven”, “Mil-
lion Dollar Baby”, “The Bridges
of Maddison County”, “Letters
From Iwo
Jima”, and
more. He fell
in love with
Bordeaux
wines while
travel-
ing with
Eastwood to
the Cannes
International
Film Festival.
In 2004,
Joel and Judy
purchased
their 14-acre
hillside
ranch in San
Miguel and
planted their boutique vine-
yard in 2007. Utilizing the same
professional and creative love he
holds for film, Joel consistently
earns awards for each of their
Mystic Hills wines.
