The Taste with Doug Shafer

Early in college Tor Kenward was drafted and sent to Vietnam. Coming home he realized that life is short and he only wanted to do things that brought him joy. That pursuit brought him to Beringer Vineyards in the 1970s where he became “Vice President of all the Fun Stuff.” In the early 2000s he and his wife Susan launched TOR Wines, a small winery that has consistently produced vintage after vintage of beautiful, outstanding wines.

In Episode 83 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of republishing my interview with Tor Kenward, Owner and Proprietor of TOR Wines out of St. Helena, CA. It's hard to know the best things to ask someone who has literally done so much and been at the forefront of so many monumental things in the wine industry but Tor sits down and shares some of those experiences and especially the people who have been such an influence on him over the years. Tor talks about his experiences working at Beringer Vineyards for an incredible 27 years and what it meant to work alongside legendary winemaker Ed Sbragia during his tenure. Of course Tor shares what it means to have his own brand TOR Wines since 2001 and the privilege it is to have winemaker's Jeff Ames and David Grega onboard crafting his wines. Tor also shares his joy and appreciation for his wife Susan, what Susan means to him and all the ways she's inspired and motivated him over the course of their lives together. Words can't explain how much I KNOW you're going to enjoy this epsiode but I think the one thing you'll take away more than anything is just how humble and charismatic Tor is. Tor is constantly trying to inovate and push the envelope in everything he does as he continues to elevate his impact on not only people in the wine industry, but also people who love and appreciate the wine industry for eveything single thing it has to offer.

In Episode 82 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of republishing my interview with Peter Heitz, Winemaker for Shypoke Estate and Turnbull, out of the Oakville AVA of Napa Valley. To suggest that Peter has been involved in the wine industry for quite some time would be an understatement.  In fact, Peter's family was some of Napa Valley's original pioneers, settling in the Valley as early as 1896. With that being said, Peter shares the story of his family and their immigration from Alsace France, and the privilege it is to be a 4th generation winemaker raised in Carneros. Peter talks about his time at Beringer Vineyards working alongside winemaking legend Ed Sbragia, and Peter's personal brand Shypoke Estate where he's had the privilege of making wines alongside his wife Meg since 1996. Peter of course shares the story of Turnbull, the inspiration behind the brand by Architect William Turnbull Jr. in 1978, and what it means to make Extraordinary wines for Turnbull scored by Robert Parker of Wine Advovate. This podcast is full of so many things that are sure to educate you on the impact Turnbull is making in the wine industry, but I think it's also appropriate to point out Peter's personality and charisma for doing what he loves each and every day, which will also make an incredible impact on you as well.

This week on Chef’s Story, host Dorothy Cann Hamilton is in the San Francisco Bay Area to speak with Gary Danko, executive chef his own personal restaurant, Gary Danko, located in Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco. Born and raised in the small town of Massena in upstate New York, he credits his parents for his strong work ethic in the kitchen. Learning the craft of cooking from his mother, Danko began his foray into food at The Village Eatery, a local eatery, at only fourteen years old. Always convinced of his calling, Danko enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. After he graduated in 1977, Danko moved to San Francisco and spent the next three years working as a lunch chef at a small bookstore/bistro and as an expediter/waiter at the Waterfront Restaurant in the evening. He enjoyed this opportunity to explore the Bay Area, but eventually returned east to the traditional roots of his evolving style. Moving to Vermont, he became the chef at the highly regarded Tucker Hill Inn, where his creativity and distinctive style flourished. Afterwards, avidly following Madeleine Kamman’s career, he enrolled in her cooking school in New Hampshire where he distinguished himself at the school and at its adjacent restaurant, marking the beginning of a close friendship. Madeleine Kamman subsequently appointed Danko to Beringer Vineyards’ food and wine externship, which turned into an executive chef position at Chateau Souverain’s restaurant. After four years at Chateau Souverain, Danko left to become the chef of the Dining Room at The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, which then attained well-deserved status as one of the country’s finest restaurants and earned a rare San Francisco Chronicle four-star rating. In 1995, Danko won the James Beard Foundation’s “Best Chef – California” award. After leaving The Ritz-Carlton in 1996, he began working on a cookbook, and laying the groundwork for his own restaurant. In the interim he took on the challenge of launching Viognier, the restaurant at the new Draeger’s Market Place in San Mateo, California. After receiving a “Best New Restaurant” award by Esquire Magazine, he received a phone call from Michel Elkaim, the owner of Chez Michel restaurant in San Francisco, which brought Danko’s plan for his own restaurant to life. Within months of opening, the restaurant received the highest accolades possible from both San Francisco daily newspapers, and also winning the James Beard Foundation’s “Best New Restaurant” in May of 2000. Tune-in to find out how Gary went from waiting tables and working at a bookstore, to cooking at one of the most awarded restaurants known today. This program has been sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. “I was a pretrained student – I went to CIA for school, but Madeleine for finishing school.” [32:00] “I am big on consistency, and familiar flavors. People keep coming back to your restaurant because they like the warmth and welcome of your famous dishes.” [47:05] — Gary Danko on Chef’s Story
