TAZ VineyardsTAZ is a real story of a legendary winegrower’s passion and dedication. Bob Steinhauer knows how and why he was branded as "Taz" (short for Tasmanian devil) - a sort of whirling dervish in the vineyards, wreaking havoc during visits to the Central Coast, leaving long lists of often contrary instructions for vineyard managers. It isn't the obvious way to build a large fan club, but it was effective as extraordinary vineyards appeared in Santa Maria, Los Alamos and in the Santa Rita Hills. The fan club grew large, and it included fellow growers and other winery owners. Bob won't mind a legacy because the wines are good. With "Taz" in the vineyards, it's simply not thinkable that TAZ wines could be anything other than consistently memorable. |
