High Stakes, Even Higher Quality

German for “Gambler,” Zocker began as our riskiest venture yet. Our rare but extremely food-friendly Grüner Veltliner and our unique approach to Riesling are the essence of unconventional. Without question, the risk paid off. Zocker has garnered high praise and recognition worldwide.

Our Story

Winemaker

Rob Takigawa

Great wines may start with the fruit, but ultimately the winemaker has the final say. Luckily for us, the man behind every bottle of our wine is the immensely talented Rob Takigawa. An award-winning winemaker, Rob has been part of the True Myth family for nearly 25 years. Each vintage allows him to perfect his craft, creating beautiful wines that reflect the beauty of the Central Coast of California.

Rob and his team are dedicated to furthering the vision of our original founders, Jack and Catharine Niven, who came to San Luis Obispo in the early 1970’s to plant a vineyard in a valley that was, at the time, only known for its dairy farms and garbanzo beans. As a Central Coast local and Cal Poly graduate with a degree in soil science, Rob is in many ways the perfect man to continue the Niven’s legacy. When not making wine he enjoys surfing, traveling with his family, and coaching his children’s sports teams.
