The shared tasting bar of partners Adam Webb and Mike Kuenz, whose 2004 winemaking odyssey yields small-lot Rhône and Iberian varietals (Syrah, Pinot Gris, rosé) raised in French Hogshead barrels. Just off the Plaza, it pours flights with cheese, charcuterie, and espresso on a covered patio.
465 E Napa St
Cochon and Odisea are the twin labels of longtime industry friends Adam Webb and Mike Kuenz, whose winemaking odyssey began in 2004 with a handshake for two rows of old-vine Grenache. They opened the Cochon Tasting Bar just off the Plaza in 2017, "Cochon" a nod to the French oak Hogshead barrels their Rhône reds are raised in.
The focus is small-lot Rhône, Burgundian, and Iberian varietals (Syrah, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, rosé, and blends) made with native yeasts and a light hand, from vineyards across California. Taste by the flight or glass with cheese, charcuterie, and European-style espresso on a covered patio.
Co-Founder
Adam Webb co-founded Cochon and owns Odisea Wine Company with his longtime friend Mike Kuenz, specializing in Rhône and Iberian varieties grown in California. Their odyssey began in 2004 with a handshake deal for two rows of old-vine Grenache. Cochon's Syrah is raised in 300-liter French oak hogsheads, which the partners found gave rounder, more elegant wines.
