Kurt Deustch and Rachel Martin were strangers seated together at a film festival, and that fortuitous meeting turned into a wine company. The vintners of Oceano wines join Cheddar to celebrate the launch of their new line. Oceano will release of its inaugural 2016 Central Coast Chardonnay for $38 a bottle. All of the fruit for the wine is sourced from Spanish Springs Vineyard, located a short distance to the south of San Luis Obispo. The vintners explain what a 'Sustainability in Practice' vineyard is, and why sustainable practices suit the type of wine they are making. Martin also explains why they're not planning to sell the wine on Amazon just yet.
