We can’t wait to send you your prize ...or welcome home present.
Enjoy! From the OT crew!
Well, this is awkward....I finally have to do my own staff profile, because I don’t have pictures of others as yet 😬🙄🤪
Anyway, I’m @corrinaattaranga and I’m in charge of making the vino for you all to enjoy. I’m proud to be part of the 6th generation of our family to be farming the Taranga property & love welcoming guests as well as sharing our wines and story all over the country and world (pre-COVID that is!!)
NAME: Corrina ‘Creens’ Wright
ROLE: Winemaker
GREW UP IN: McLaren Vale
SPECIALIST TOPIC: Gender diversity in the wine industry. I am also very handy at patchwork and make a mean guacamole. And I can tell you where pretty much every mulberry tree is in McLaren Vale. Creator of #carpetsofinstagram
GUILTY PLEASURE: @kraft_macandcheese deluxe -NOT the new ‘improved’ version, but the one with the cheese in a can.
BEST WINE EXPERIENCE: @ristorantelocandaincannubi Restaurant on top of the famous Cannubi Vineyard in Barolo, eating fresh white truffles shaved onto fried egg and pasta, sharing a 2010 @tenutacarretta Barolo Cannubi Riserva with great friends from all over the world, while looking out over the snow covered vineyards. I cried (How good was it @fabladieswine ?!?) 😍🤗
FUNNIEST DAY AT WORK: Pretty much every day, but I specially love all my times on the road with @brionitaranga sharing our wines with the world. My cheeks hurt remembering them all. Specially our times overseas.
PODCAST/BOOK/NETFLIX: ‘A Podcast of Ones Own’ with Julia Gillard & @chat10looks3 , currently reading ‘A Room Made of Leaves’ by Kate Grenville & watching @mareofeasttownhbo
KYRPTONITE: Octopus. They are terrifying and wrong, and I will do anything to avoid having to look at them or even think about them.
WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT WORKING AT OT: Farm, Family, Friends – when people have our wine on their table and they are sharing with friends and family and having a great time. And I can bring my dog to work. And we have mulberry trees.

Today we get to meet our employee with the best handwriting, Antje 🙌🏼Antje joined the team pretty recently, and looks after all of our wine packing a deliveries, including handwriting notes to all our fabulous OTT Wine Club members. She is a gun on the forklift and we love everything about her (especially her glorious hair), but admit we had to have lessons in how to pronounce her name 🙄😬🤪

NAME: Antje 'The German' Woodrow
ROLE: Warehouse Fulfillment Officer
GREW UP IN: Insel Poel, Germany
SPECIALIST TOPIC: One, that's very close to my heart, is the environment and how we can look after it in a more sustainable way.
GUILTY PLEASURE: Mmmmh, not really guilty but - and I'm letting all my hair down here - weird. I have a bit of an obsession for vacuum cleaners! It might be the white noise that helps my brain calm down when one is turned on, but vacuuming gives my a break in my wild family life with three girls and for some strange reason a pleasure.
BEST WINE EXPERIENCE: Where I'm from people drink beer! Everything else is snobby! So after traveling and falling in love with wine my best experience was to share my passion with family and friends back home. I organised a wine tasting with my extended family with all different varieties, regions and quality while living and working in the German Wine Industry. From Riesling and Pinot Blanc to Shiraz. It was the best to really see everyone 'click'. Finally I felt understood.
FUNNIEST DAY AT WORK: Because I haven't been working at OT for long, I can only contribute a saying that's been said quite often since I started - "We're just so professional. You came at the right time, Antje!" (Ed. ‘Professional’ is a stretch, but we are trying 😂😬)
PODCAST/BOOK/NETFLIX: 'Die Drei Fragezeichen'/Eating Animals/Twin
KYRPTONITE: I'm really scared of snakes!
WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT WORKING AT OT: The Dyson stick vacuum 😅 but even more so the fun team where everyone likes a laugh and appreciates the hard work everybody chips in!
