Brendan Cato On Winemaking

OnProcess

Brendan Cato is first and foremost a chef of a very high caliber, but perhaps more pertinent to the topic of this conversation Brendan is a winemaker and roaming food forager. I loved so many parts of this conversation and we cover many aspects of winemaking, but as usual I dig deep into Brendan's process including his unique, minimal intervention and locally sourced approach to winemaking and cooking. Brendan has a unique relationship with ambiguity and experimentation that seems to drive a lot of his success. Perhaps not surprisingly we uncover some amazing creative roots in making wine and to illustrate this Brendan takes us through a story demonstrating why constraints in a creative capacity rather than stifling can be like pouring jet fuel on a fire. It was a joy talking to someone so refreshingly humble and authentic in the dedication behind everything they do. Introducing: Brendan Cato On Winemaking
