After hosting an unforgettable evening in Montreal, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath sits down with legendary winemaker Yaacov Oryah and world-class private chef Yossel Backman for a behind-the-scenes conversation.

What started as a perfectly curated night of wine and food quickly turned into something deeper, a dialogue about creativity, risk, and what happens when wine and cuisine are allowed to truly speak to each other. From bold orange wines to precision-driven pairings, this episode captures the magic of a one-of-a-kind experience.

Together, they unpack the evening: the philosophy behind Yaacov’s boundary-pushing wines, the art of pairing food that elevates rather than competes, and the courage it takes to create something not everyone immediately understands.

This isn’t just about wine. It’s about vision, collaboration, and what happens when you stop playing it safe and start creating something real.

Pour a glass. You’ll want to listen to this one slowly.
