Co-founder of Ochota Barrels winery with his wife, Amber, Taras died on Monday 12 October.
A live wire on the Australian winemaking scene, Taras pursued his passions for surfing and music at first, playing bass in a punk band that flirted with fame and fortune but he was gradually pulled back into wine and cut his teeth in the business in South Australia and California, continuing to play in bands and surfing between harvests.
