Diana Hawkins and Frank Lepera are two decorated sommeliers from Chicago who moved to Aotearoa, NZ in 2017 so Diana could purse her Master's in winemaking. Having fallen in love with the country and its wine culture, they never left - and instead founded Responsible Hedonist with the intent to bypass snobby "gatekeepers" in the wine industry and craft exciting, unserious, and sustainably-minded wines for all types of consumers.
'Rush the Stage Red' is a fresh, light-bodied syrah; perfect for outdoor barbeques and summer concerts. Drink now - 2026.
