In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast Hanna Halmari speaks with Dr Laura Catena, managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata and Luca Winery. Laura is a fourth-generation Argentine vintner, physician, and wine writer. She holds a biology degree from Harvard University and a medical doctor degree from Stanford. Laura is also the founder of the Catena Institute of Wine, which is dedicated to preserving Malbec and elevating Argentine wine since 1995. The Catena Institute is a founding member of the SWR, as well as a recent signatory of the SWR's Bottle Weight Accord. Laura shares why Catena joined the accord, highlights their progress in lightweighting bottles, and emphasizes the importance of collaboration in addressing consumer misconceptions about bottle weight and wine quality.

It's truly a legendary week beginning with visionary viticulturist and winemaker Martin Kaiser for Doña Paula in Argentina; the latest Valley First Wealth Management Spotlight shines on Tyler Rennie, a fourth generation dairy farmer for his family's Legendairy Farms, now in Armstrong, and celebrating a remarkable 100 years; Dr. Laura Catena, wears two of her hats, one as an Emergency Physician and the other as a fourth generation vintner of the renowned Bodega Catena Zapata, tackles the hot topic of wine and health; and Jeffery Young, a Chef of the Year and a multi-gold medal winner in international competitions, brings his talents and wealth of experience to the Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos as their new Executive Chef.

To celebrate HDSR's 5th anniversary last month we hosted Vine to Mind, a symposium centered around wine and data science that featured leading experts from around the globe representing research and industry. The talks were so engaging that we decided to share some of the celebration with you at home. Today, we are joined by two of the esteemed symposium speakers, Laura Catena and Ahmed Tawakol, who help us explore the health benefits and potential drawbacks of wine. We also discuss how alcohol-related research is conducted and learn about the future of wine research. For all of this and more, stay tuned for this latest episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast! Our guests: Laura Catena, Managing Director of Bodega Catena Zapata, and Founder of Catena Institute of Wine. Ahmed Tawakol, Director of Nuclear Cardiology and Co-Director of the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

O vinhedo Adrianna pode ser considerado a "cerejinha do bolo" dentre os vinhedos da Bodega Catena Zapata. Em seu livro Ouro nos Vinhedos, Laura Catena o chama "o Grand Cru da América do Sul". Pude conhecer em mais detalhes esses vinhedos, especialmente seus Chardonnays - Wite Bones e White Stones - e ter uma idéia de todo o esforço e trabalho envolidos em seu desenvolvimento num delicioso bate-papo com Alejandro Vigil, que compartilho aqui. É 90% transpiração, já disse Albert Eistein. The post SV#165: Papo com Ale Vigil – Adrianna appeared first on Simples Vinho.

Martín Reyes, MW is back, and he's brought some friends. With their help, we get into misleading claims from the W.H.O, the health effects of wine, and how moderation may just be good for you. Joining us this week are Dr. Laura Catena, a Harvard and Stanford trained biologist and physician, fourth generation vintner, and the managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata in Argentina; and Dr. Miles Hassell, a specialist in Internal Medicine, the author of Good Food, Great Medicine, and a professor at Pacific University.

This is the weekly columnLaura Catena interview Part Five 1-17-2024Dr. Laura Catena, managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata, is considered the face of Argentine wine and a major spokesperson for wine in general.After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard and earning a medical degree from Stanford, she practiced medicine in San Francisco for 25 years while also helping run the family winery, Bodega Catena Zapata. Laura now is in charge of the winery. Here is another excerpt from my interview with Dr. Catena.Dr. Laura Catena, the face of Argentine wine• What is Catena's position on lighter glass bottles?We have reduced our overall bottle weight by 30% over the last 10 years and we are in the process of reducing by 15-25% our remaining bottles.  We are working with the local manufacturers to reduce weight.  We are lucky in Argentina to have an efficient and well functioning glass-production industry with several manufacturers, which means that 100% of our glass is locally sourced.• What decision gave you the most satisfaction/pride operating Catena?We recently received the #1 World's Best Vineyard in the world award from World's Best Vineyards.  I was completely surprised. It is an award given to a winery for a combination of extraordinary wines and original/top level hospitality. I took the scarf (given to me at the award ceremony) and the trophy around the winery and to the vineyards and took photos with all the staff at Catena. I am also going on a tour to visit customers and take the photo with them, because they are part of our success. It made me very happy to be able to celebrate with all the people who work so hard every day and should be recognized for their efforts. It was also very satisfying when we got our first 100 point rating for Adrianna Vineyard River Stones Malbec. It was a milestone in my father's vision to make Argentine wines that could stand with the best of the world. I've written three books about wine and each time I had a lot of doubt about it because of how time consuming it is to write a book (especially when I had my two jobs, wine and medicine, and a young family). But I learned so much while writing each book, and each book became a powerful tool to tell the stories behind Argentine wine, especially the last book Malbec Mon Amour, which was a bestseller in Argentina and got a wonderful review from the New York Times.Last roundWhat do you get if you cross a lion with a watchdog?

This is the weekly columnLaura Catena interview Part Four 12-6-2023Dr. Laura Catena, managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata, is considered the face of Argentine wine.She is an amazing woman— magna cum laude Harvard grad with a medical degree from Stanford. She practiced medicine for 25 years while helping run the family winery with her father, Dr. Nicolás Catena Zapata, who also was a professor of economics at Berkeley. Laura now is in charge of the winery, her father an advisor. Here is another excerpt from my interview with Laura.Dr. Laura Catena, the face of Argentine wine• What are Bodega Catena Zapata's positions on sustainable farming, biodynamic methods, and environmental responsibility?We call our winemaking philosophy CATENAMICS. The CATENAMICS mission: elevate Argentine wine for another 200 years.The CATENAMICS method is to use science to preserve nature and culture. Catena means “chain” or “connection” in Italian/Latin. “Amics” from the Greek, refers to “law” or “management". CATENAMICS is our way of managing the connection between plants, soil, ecosystem and people.When I started working in wine, people would always ask me: “Are your wines biodynamic, organic, sustainable”? I found biodynamics very interesting, especially because its advocates emphasized that it made better wine while at the same time protecting the environment. But I asked myself: should we apply in Argentina a philosophy that originated in Germany at the beginning of the 20th Century? Our mountain climate, our vineyard microbes, our animals and plants, our people and our traditions are different. And that is how the concept of CATENAMICS was born, with the method of using science.I founded the Catena Institute of Wine in 1995—a serious viticultural and winemaking research institute in Mendoza which publishes in major science journals and collaborates with academics all over the world, to preserve nature and culture (our nature and our culture—but the method can be used anywhere). About half our vineyards are organic certified.As part of our CATENAMICS philosophy we created a Sustainability Code for Argentina in 2008 which we shared with the industry by forming a collaboration with Bodegas de Argentina. Today the Bodegas de Argentina Sustainability Code is used by hundreds of wineries in Argentina. Through this code we have found ways to collaborate with other producers on vineyard management, water preservation, education programs, bottle weight, carbon emissions. We are currently working on a carbon calculator that we plan to share with the wine industry.

This is the weekly newspaper columnLaura Catena interview Part Three 11-22-2023Dr. Laura Catena is the managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata and often called the face of Argentinian wine. A fourth-generation vintner, she also is a magna cum laude grad from Harvard and earned a medical degree from Stanford. She practiced medicine in San Francisco for 25 years while helping run the family winery.Laura is the spokesperson for the Catena brand. The winery also produces wine under the Alamos label distributed by E&J Gallo in the U.S., and is the Catena wine you are most likely to find. Laura also has her own brand, Luca.• Was it your idea or a collaborative idea to develop high altitude vineyards?My father was the first person in Argentina to understand that higher altitudes held the key to making terroir driven, age-worthy, grand cru level wines. This is related to higher natural acidity at higher altitudes, more limestone in the soils and more intense sunlight which results in more polyphenols. He planted in the high part of Gualtallary (Monasterio) at almost 5,000 feet elevation a decade before it became known as perhaps the best vineyard location in Argentina. Once others realized the quality advantage of the Uco Valley, there was a move by many producers and today 80% of the wines coming from Mendoza are grown in the Uco Valley (it was the reverse, with more grapes being grown in Lujan de Cuyo and the East of Mendoza 20 years ago).• What are the advantages and disadvantages of high altitude grape growing?Mostly advantages: cool climate (higher natural acidity), intense sunlight (leads to thicker skins = more tannins), well drained stony, limestone soils (low yields, no rot). There is a risk of frost which can be remedied by planting on a slope, but the risk is always there. • Do you consider yourself first a grape farmer, or a winemaker, or a marketing spokesperson, or the leader of a large and successful business?I consider myself a farmer who pays the bills and spreads joy by making and selling delicious wine.• If you could have one super power, what would it be?To understand and speak animal and plant language.• What is the greatest challenge facing Catena and the wine world in general?Water shortage related to climate change.• What is the greatest joy you have in life?Watching other people thrive, which includes my children.Tasting notes• Bodegas CARO ‘Caro' Mendoza 2017: Full body, plenty of substance, concentration.

This is the weekly newspaper columnLaura Catena interview Part Two 11-8-2023Dr. Laura Catena is managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata, one of Argentina's leading wineries, and spokesperson for the brand. This is part two of my recent interview.Dr. Laura Catena• What is the greatest challenge running a large wine operation?We run our family winery like a small winery—every parcel of vineyard gets vinified separately and we have no recipes. Each parcel is tasted during fermentation and aging and our vinification philosophy is to do little, and let the innate character of each place shine. This takes a lot of time and effort, but it is ingrained in our winery culture and thinking all day long is the Catena way. The greatest challenge is the fluctuation of the Argentine economy (current inflation is 120%). For me the key to success is to hire perfectionist creatives with focus on “perfectionist”. It is easier to teach creativity than perfectionism.• Do you enjoy being the face of Catena?I like/love people. That's why I became a doctor. My job is to share our wines and our stories with wine drinkers around the world. It's a privilege to have the job of making the family's wines and ensuring our family winery's success over hopefully another 200 years (I am on the 200 year plan because short term does not work for wine and viticulture). So to answer your question, I enjoy it, but am eager for the next generation to take over some of my ambassador job so that I can spend more time in the vineyard.   • Are you and your brother Ernesto competitors or mutually supportive? What role does your father Nicolás now play in operations?My brother and I are partners in Catena, but we also have our separate wine projects. We help each other whenever we can. My father is still very involved, but I always have the final say. My father has been the best mentor and teacher imaginable. He whole heartedly supports me in my current managing director position.• What are your plans for succession and the future of your operation?The Catena winery was founded in 1902 by an Italian vintner immigrant to Argentina, Nicola Catena. I am the current family head of the business. My siblings Ernesto and Adrianna are working in wine in different branches of the family business. Our family philosophy is to not pressure the new generations to join the business. The next generation is still quite young, in school or working in other fields: human rights, chemistry, banking, psychology.Last roundWhat do you call birds who stick together? Vel-crows.

This is the weekly newspaper columnLaura Catena interview Part One 11-1-2023Laura Catena is considered the face of Argentine wine and a wine world leader. I recently interviewed her and will share the interview in columns in November and December.Laura is a fourth-generation Argentine vintner. Her father, Dr. Nicolás Catena Zapata, not only ran the family winery, he also was a professor of economics at Berkeley. Laura graduated magna cum laude from Harvard and earned a medical degree from Stanford. For years she was managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata and practiced medicine at the UC-San Francisco Medical Center.Dr. Laura CatenaHer wines sell under the Catena and other labels. Catena makes Alamos, distributed by E&J Gallo in the U.S.. She has her own label, Luca.• Do you still practice medicine in California?I stopped working clinically at the end of 2019. Because I was doing mostly pediatric emergency the last few years, they didn't need me back during the first pandemic year. Because children were not getting sick or having injuries. This was fortunate because my team at the winery needed me more than ever during the pandemic—our precautions at the winery were similar to a hospital's which resulted in very few COVID cases over the first year. I volunteered with a vaccinating crew in San Francisco serving marginally housed people, but now I am doing 100% wine and it feels good to be there all the time for the Catena team. I am still a doctor to friends and family, and I have found that the doctor's empathy can be practiced in the small moments of daily life, so I miss being a doctor less than I thought I would.  • How did you balance your many responsibilities, and do you have any regrets?I practiced medicine and wine for 25 years. It was not easy, but as a result my kids are very independent and high functioning. Our house was always very messy when the kids were in the house (the last one left for college a few days ago) and I have just had to live with that. I wouldn't change anything. When my father turned 80 years old, I decided it was time to do 100% wine. It was a natural moment. I am not a regrets kind of person. I live my life trying to be a good person every day.  Tasting notes• Alamos Malbec Mendoza 2016: Fresh, firm, clean, delicious easy drinker with great balance.

In this podcast Sustainable Wine's Toby Webb talks with Dr Laura Catena, a fourth-generation Argentine vintner. Laura is Managing Director at Bodega Catena Zapata; Founder of Catena Institute of Wine; and Owner at Luca Wines. They discuss Laura's work at Bodega Catena Zapata and the work of the Catena Institute of Wine. Laura shares why the Institute joined the Sustainable Wine Roundtable as a founding member, learnings of water use and conservation from Argentina, the pressures, challenges, and opportunities surrounding wine packaging, and much more.

Associate Editor Claire Nesbitt chats with Laura Catena, the managing director of Bodega Catena Zapata and founder of Domaine Zico, and winemaker Alejandro Vigil, about their journey with pinot noir in Argentina and how Domaine Zico came to be."Pinot noir was always the heartbreak grape," Laura says. "Pinot noir was always difficult. We had a few good vintages in the beginning, in the late '90s... Because of that, we planted in Adriana."And then, she said, "we had what I call the 'dark ages,'" marked by overproduction and rot. Following a few discouraging vintages, Laura said she and Alejandro then decided that "we're really going to do something important with pinot noir." It marked a turning point for Domaine Zico.

Laura Catena is one of my all time favourites in the world of wine. Her bio is well told HERE and worth reading into. Her father Nicolas is the most decorated wine maker to ever make a living from wine in Argentina and South America. The wines from Catena Zapata are magnificent. While these have all held my esteem for Laura for quite a few years now they only tell half the story. What I really admire about Laura Catena is her continual and real engagement with her audience. She doesn't need to. Besides all the above she also has a family and a life outside of wine! And yet, she still perseveres to be accessable and wondrously interesting. She writes great wine books.  The three wine books that Laura Catena has written are pride of place among the many hundreds that I have. Why? Becuse they are completely from the heart, brave and honest. They tell me a lot more than simple facts. They allow me to enter into the lives, ideas and inspirations behind some of the finest wines made in the world.      Laura's latest book, in collaboration with Alejandro Vigil, is 'Malbec Mon Amour'. Her previous titles are  'Vino Argentino' and 'Gold in the Vineyards'. Alejandro is a director of the Catena Institute of Wine, Chief winemaker at Catena Zapata and by training a celebrated soil scientist. 'Malbec mon amour' draws heavily on the ground breaking work that the Catena Institute of Wine has undertaken since its formation in  the 1990's. This work has brought us the most extensive study of the Malbec grape, and its relationship to its terroir, ever undertaken. Published in both Food Chemistry and the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture it effectively gives a scientific proof to the existence of terroir to vines over time.   In this podcast Laura Catena brings all of this and more to us. Enjoy. The wines of Catena Zapata are distributed across Ireland by Cassidy Wines. A previous podcast of ours dealt with the wines of Catena Zapata, The Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard: one of the Finest in the World. Our guest at that time was Pedro San Martin of Bodega Catena Zapata.

Associate Editor Claire Nesbitt discusses the newest releases from Argentine vintner Bodega Catena Zapata with managing director Laura Catena and winemaker Alejandro Vigil.

Which English wine does Janina recommend for you to try if you're new to the category? How does English sparkling wine compare to Champagne? What sort of tasting profile would you experience with Bacchus grapes? What is the “Nyetimber Effect”?   Key Takeaways I enjoyed Janina's stories about what it's really like to work at a winery during the harvest. As she mentioned, many people think winemaking is so glamorous and they have no idea how dirty it is and how many accidents happen and how hard it is. I call it fancied up farming. She made some great points about blended wines, including the fact that Malbec, though it's a single variety, is often a blended wine. Janina shared some great insights into the differences and similarities between English sparkling wine and Champagne. I was surprised to hear that the English wine industry has grown by 70% in the last five years.   Join me on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Live Video Join the live-stream video of this conversation on Wednesday at 7 pm eastern on Instagram Live Video, Facebook Live Video or YouTube Live Video.

Soil, Location and Vine. Over the millenia farmers have understood that chance is best left at the door when choosing 'what to grow' and 'where to grow'. Experience is a better bed fellow. Sometimes, though, a grower will make a decision based on a soil analysis along with a great deal of knowledge and experience but because no-one had ever attempted to venture into this territory before then chance is their inevitable traveling companion. In 1992 Nicolas Catena planted a vineyard 5,000 feet above sea level in the Uco Valley of Mendoza in Argentina. Noone had attempted this before. It would be ten years before they knew whether folly or reputation would benefit. This is the Adrianna Vineyard - South America's Grand Cru  In this episode Pedro San Martin of Bodega Catena Zapata brings us closer to the stones and vines that now produce 100 Point wines. This was a terroir that local viticulturists said could never ripen grapes at all. In 2018 Laura Catena brought out her second book. It was titled 'GOLD in the vineyards'. (Her first was the brilliant 'Vino Argentina' in 2011). Gold in this case was the potential wine quality hidden away in special and rare terroirs across the world. The Adrianna vineyard held onto its gold for quite a few years. Then, after an inticate mapping of every detail relating to every vine - it released its treasure. Bodega Catena Zapata is represented in Ireland by Cassidy Wines. Enjoy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- While all restaurants in Ireland were closed until recently many reopened. That was great news - Open Again. Then we heard that they had to close once more - on Chrstmas Eve. Tough times, Tough times indeed. Here's hoping for a more succesful business environment in 2021. We should remember that many of these, including the wonderful Monty's of Kathmandu, are family businesses. They are often small and brilliant and need our support more than ever. Keep Safe and Keep well.  Kevin Ecock's WinePod is brought to us with the assistance of the Santa Rita Wine Room at Monty's of Kathmandu - an excellent place to host your next event or celebration.

Many in the wine world know Laura as the managing director at Bodega Catena Zapata in Argentina, which produces some of the world’s great wines. But for the last 25 years, she has also been an emergency room physician in San Francisco. When she and Cal get together, they come up with an idea to remove an aspect of health care that drives everyone crazy. Nobody likes waiting in the waiting room. But with a Waiting Room App, the entire experience could be transformed to help doctors and hospitals communicate better with patients and allow everyone to get more out of appointments. What are we waiting for?

Laura Catena may have one of the most unique resumes that you’d ever come across. Regarded as the face of Argentine wine, Catena presides at the helm of her family’s lauded winery Bodega Catena Zapata, which laid the foundations for the country’s wine to be recognized at the level of its European counterparts. She is also the founder of the Catena Institute of Wine, which focuses on science-driven ways to support and showcase Argentina’s winemaking regions. And, until recently, Catena had worked as an emergency room physician in San Francisco, a job she held concurrently with her wine-related roles.  On the surface, one might think there are few similarities between the responsibilities of a doctor and vintner. Yet, as part of the conversation featured in this episode, Catena explained that her professions intersect in ways that make her better in both roles and allow her to provide more effective care to her patients and craft exceptional wine. We further explored this dynamic in our interview and also delved into Catena Zapata’s history and scientific approach to winemaking. Catena also explained why she feels a heavy responsibility of carrying the whole country of Argentina on her shoulders, why she believes that it is critical to “really listen to people who disagree with you” and discussed her passion for achieving sustainability through innovation. Show notes:  0:44: Interview: Laura Catena, Managing Director, Bodega Catena Zapata -- Taste Radio editor Ray Latif sat down with Catena for an expansive interview in which she discussed how she is supporting workers at her family’s winery in Argentina via telemedicine during the Covid crisis, the origins of Bodega Catena Zapata and why her father was inspired by American winemakers and discussed how malbec has been the key to Argentina’s ascendance in the global wine industry. She also spoke about why she was initially hesitant to join the family business and chose to study and practice medicine instead, how wine transformed her home province of Mendoza into a thriving region and how Catena Zapata’s rise to international recognition was supported by its focus on science and research about Argentina’s climate and soil. Later, she explained how the winery succeeded by winning “hearts and minds,” and why it’s so important to “understand how nature works so that we can preserve it.” Brands in this episode: Bodega Catena Zapata
