From Barrel to Boardroom: MocToe at ACG San Diego wine tasting

An evening of business, connection, and a few unforgettable pours — MocToe Barrel #8 takes San Diego.

Some events just hit different.

Last week, the ACG San Diego Wine Tasting brought together the region’s business leaders, dealmakers, and operators for an evening of real conversations — and rare wine.

Andrew Schultz poured MocToe Barrel #8 Cabernet Sauvignon, sharing the story behind the wine and how vineyard and cellar practices shape what ends up in the glass. The feedback? Let’s just say the MocToe mission — bold, scarce, unforgettable — hit home.

A big thank you to Bill Fowler and the Hardesty, LLC team for curating another outstanding event, to Barnes & Thornburg LLP for their hospitality, and to the ACG San Diego community for the warm welcome.

Here’s a look back at a night of great people, genuine connection, and the kind of wine you remember long after the glass is empty.
