Let’s talk about wine and the future of the industry! This week the guys are joined by the leadership behind Wine Future 2021 - Pancho Campo, Master of Wine & David Furer, Wine Educator - and the fabulous Dr. Laura Catena of the renowned Bodega Catena Zapata winery in Mendoza, Argentina - a fourth generation Argentine vintner, physician, and author.
Wine Future 2021 is a multiple-day virtual conference that kicks off next week. The conference is designed to address the challenges that the wine industry is facing. Pancho and David also talk about the amazing lineup of industry speakers such as our own Dean Michael Cheng, the legendary Mel Dick of Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits, and Francis Ford Coppola just to name a few.
Laura Catena will also be a moderator at the virtual conference, discussing the Impact of COVID-19 on the wine industry. We had the chance to ask the good Doctor about her family business, what the past year was like for the Mendoza region, and some helpful advice for our female students wanting to start a career in the wine industry. This was an insightful and informative show and we wrap it up with a wine-driven Speed Rail with Professor Connors. Listen, Learn and Laugh!
