DISTINCTLY VIBRANT. LIFE’S BETTER WHEN YOU LIVE ON A TANGENT.
Here at Tangent, we explore the possibilities of cool-climate white wines rooted in the Edna Valley and the Central Coast. These wines challenge expectations and prove that every day can (and should) be a new adventure. Our innovative spirit is channeled into everything we produce, from colorful cans to screw-capped bottles to our wine itself. We deliver wines with the promise of being vibrant, fresh and delightfully different.
THE EPITOME OF CALIFORNIA’S CENTRAL COAST
We’re located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean in San Luis Obispo County. It’s a wine region unlike any other in the world.

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.
