Monday, October 12th the world, and the wine world in particular, lost a true legend and force in the industry.  Taras Ochota sadly passed away leaving the wine world with a huge hole.  Taras was an innovator, game changer, and universally loved by his peers.  His wife Amber along with assistant winemaker Louis Schofield will oversee the winery and vineyards moving forward.

MaryAnn Worobiec of Wine Spectator penned a beautiful tribute, amongst many.  Please read about it here.
