The Guys talk about what Robert Simonson calls “the cold switcheroo” and what’s next in the world of martini.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys get two Corisons on one show! They catch up with Cathy Corison and her daughter Grace Corison Martin who will, perhaps along with her sister, take over the winery one day. They discuss the challenging past, bright present and brilliant future of Corison Wines.
The Inside Track
They have been avid fans of Cathy Corison’s wines (Corison Winery) and they have hosted wine dinners at their places with Cathy and she has hosted them when they visit in California. On the idea of her daughters eventually taking the reins at the winery, Cathy says,
“I’m just so grateful to know that it's going to go forward after me because we're farmers. It's a very long term business. And in fact, the wines I'm making today are still going to be on the youthful side when I'm gone. So just to know that it's going to go forward is, is very, very gratifying,” Cathy Corison on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2024
Bio
Cathy Corison’s winemaking journey began nearly 50 years ago when she took a wine appreciation course. Two years later she graduated, and two days after that, arrived in the Napa Valley, bent on making wine. A master’s degree in Enology at UC Davis followed. She made wine at Chappellet Vineyard for the 1980’s. In 1987, toward the end of her tenure at Chappellet, there was a wine inside her that she needed to make and she began to buy grapes and barrels. Using other wineries’ facilities, she was able to create the wine of her own.
She founded her own winery, Corison Winery, in 1987. The winery is located in St. Helena, California in a barn built by Corison's husband, William Martin. They have two daughters, Grace and Rose, who are poised to take the reins in the future.
Grace Corison Martin earned a BFA in Acting from Syracuse University and then worked in restaurants in NYC. Since moving back to the Napa Valley, Grace completed her Winemaking Certificate at UC Davis, and her Level 3 WSET.
