LOCASH Releases New Wine Line "Shipwrecked"

“We have always been huge wine guys,” says LOCASH's Preston Brust. “A good bottle of wine is like a good song – its various ‘notes’ and aromas take your mind and senses to new depths. It’s a creative experience. I think that’s why we like it so much.”

Music isn't the only thing that Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of LOCASH is cranking out these days. The hot duo has also announced their brand new signature wine line, Shipwrecked.

In partnership with Stonum Vineyards of Lodi, California, the duo is slated to release five signature wines on the Shipwrecked label in 2015-17 including a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, which is now available, a Cabernet blend, Chardonnay, old vine Zinfandel and Syrah.

In 2014, around the time they signed their new record deal with Reviver Records, the duo met Jonathan Ozor, who along with his cousin, artisan winemaker Michael Stonum, owns and operates Stonum Vineyards, Incorporated. “We met in Aspen, Colorado and bonded over a bottle of our 2010 Old Vine Zin.,” says Ozor. “I was immediately impressed by Chris and Preston’s deep knowledge and passion for wine. We talked about wine all weekend and I couldn’t wait to introduce them to Mike.”

To no surprise to Ozor, Lucas and Brust found a kindred spirit in Stonum, and a partnership was formed to create a new line of wine that would allow them to funnel their mutual creativity and passion for wine into a signature LOCASH line. “Shipwrecked is a state of mind," says Lucas. "Whether you’re 'shipwrecked,' on an island in literal terms,  'shipwrecked' at your job, in a relationship or some other way in your personal life, things can always be made better by great friends, great music and great wine.”

LOCASH’s springtime debut is the 2014 Shipwrecked Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from the exclusive Towne Vineyards of Napa Valley, California. It is now available for purchase at shipwreckedwines.com.
