Tony loves Ochota Barrels! Organic & natural Australian bangers with old-school French pedigree.
🤘
“Where’s the Pope?” Syrah & “From the North” Mourvèdre take their names from the hardcore punk scene, recalling winemaker Taras Ochota’s background as a guitarist.
🍷
Brambly, herbaceous, & crazy complex, these awesome Aussies are no ankle-slappers, they’re biodynamic bombs! The name, Ochota Barrels refers to both their use of French oak barrels and the winemaking couples love of surfing. Talk about some tasty waves!

Trying to buy wine responsibly can feel daunting! With such a wide range of ecological footprints and labor practices in the industry, some wines are simply made more ethically than others. Even knowing what practices are better than others may not help you much when staring down the shelves of wines at the grocery store with their vague labels.
🍷
Our Wine Director, Erin Dudley, is very passionate about highlighting the wineries that are doing it right and helping every wine consumer choose the bottle that serves the wine growing communities the most! Join her on Tuesday, April 26th to get the tips of the trade and taste through some of her favorite sustainable wines!
