On today's episode, we sit down with Jesse Katz, the visionary founder and winemaker behind Aperture Cellars—a label that's redefining the future of fine wine through precision, storytelling, and stunning design. From collaborating with A-list celebrities to building one of the most architecturally striking wineries in California, Jesse shares his journey of blending innovation with tradition in an industry steeped in legacy. Website: aperture-cellars.com Instagram: aperturecellars BACK STORY EARLY ADVENTURES to legendary vineyards and wineries around the world with his father, photographer Andy Katz, gave Colorado-native Jesse Katz a profound respect for the creative art of winemaking. Jesse creates distinct, nuanced wines for his brands Aperture Cellars and Devil Proof Vineyards; while serving as a consulting winemaker for some of the world's most prestigious wines.   Inspired from an early age, Jesse dived into the wine industry and has since became one of the most exciting — and accomplished — winemakers in the world. Jesse's diverse experience spanning 25 harvests at wineries, along with his desire to travel, fed his aspiration to learn from the best in the industry, including Pétrus in Bordeaux, as well as time on the winemaking teams at Screaming Eagle Winery and Robert Foley Winery in Napa Valley, and Viña Cobos and Bodega Noemia in Argentina. In 2010, Jesse was the youngest-hired head winemaker in the U.S. at Lancaster Estate where, during his five-year tenure, he orchestrated the building of the new Roth winery, production facility, and tasting room, and received 90+ scores on every wine scored by the Wine Advocate, and garnered Lancaster Estate's inclusion on the list of Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines. In 2013, Wine Enthusiast named Jesse one of its 40 Under 40 Tastemakers and he was also the first winemaker on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2014. As a consulting winemaker for some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Von Miller, Tony Hawk and Justin Timberlake, in 2017, Jesse's wine collaboration with Shep Gordon, The Setting, earned acclaim as the most expensive wine in the world. Jesse enjoys putting his craft to work raising funds for good causes, non-profits, and charity events. All large format bottles of Devil Proof and Aperture are donated to charitable auctions along with numerous cases of wine and custom winery experiences each year. Through travels with his photographer father, winemaker Jesse Katz developed a profound passion for wine and winemaking that has shaped his career. As a child and young adult, it was through his father's work that Jesse was first introduced to the art of winemaking, where he quickly recognized the importance of terroir and balance of the winemaker's influence, landing him on a path he has followed ever since. Jesse's winemaking philosophy is a combination of diverse hands-on experience and knowledge passed on to him from some of the greatest winemaking legends while working at some of the most renowned wineries around the world. One core ethos has always prevailed though: evolution. Jesse is always learning, always evolving and constantly trying new things to achieve greater excellence.  When it comes to the production methods, Jesse and his team are constantly modifying their fermentation applications based on different vineyards and fruit quality year to year. Each vintage calls for a tailored barrel fermentation approach on both Aperture reds and whites. Early extraction brings fleshy, ripe characteristics; while extended maturation ensures structure and length from each grape variety. A combination of warm and cool fermentation is completed on all varieties.   SUBSCRIBE TO ICONIC HOUR If you enjoyed today's podcast, I'd be so appreciative if you'd take two minutes to subscribe, rate and review ICONIC HOUR.

In this episode, Pauline sits down with her longtime friend Sasha Grutman — a seasoned finance professional and cultivated aesthete — for a conversation on the power of curation, or what Pauline calls “the art of intelligence.” Drawing from Coco Chanel's maxim that “elegance is refusal” to the Latin roots of curare (“to take care of”), Pauline and Sasha explore how thoughtful curation brings clarity, coherence, and meaning to our lives.At once practical and philosophical, this show reveals that curation is not simply an elitist pastime, but an essential life skill — a way for us all to focus our attention, express our identity, and enhance the quality, beauty, and joy in our lives.

Ένα αστέρι Michelin μόλις στα 27 του, Χρυσός Σκούφος, ένα πάρα πολύ δημιουργικό μυαλό και μπόλικη αγάπη για τη μαγειρική, είναι μερικά από τα κομμάτια του παζλ, που ακούνε στο όνομα Γρηγόρης Κίκης.Στο σημερινό επεισόδιο Taste Makers by efood, μας μιλάει για την έμπνευσή του να ανοίξει παρέα με τους συνεργάτες του το «διαστημικό» μπεργκεράδικο Hanky Panky στα Πετράλωνα και στο Φάληρο.

Undulating waves of crystalline fragrance burst from Floret Loret's sonic greenhouse. The multi-sensory experience of Fernando Loret de Mola's catalog is a tribute to his careful cultivation of a sound that bathes in natural beauty but also pulls from a dark, industrial cityscape. Carving his niche amongst a rising generation of experimental bass producers, Loret de Mola sets himself apart by introducing lush, hypnotic melodies into a scene so often dominated by singed and smoking sound design. Floret Loret dares to let his delicate compositions bloom amongst the jarring forays into brooding low end, and the result is an unpredictable and often heterodox bouquet of swirling colors and textures. Cross-pollinating sound design die-hards and melodic bass acolytes seeded a rabid fan base that brought his music to the attention of Deadbeats, which released his 2019 EP, Secluded Garden. Label heads Zeds Dead then tapped Floret Loret for the collab “Reason” from their We Are Deadbeats Vol. 4 compilation, an elegant arrangement of glistening themes that dance and twirl between shimmering rays of light and ponderous darkness. It's been a prolific run for Loret de Mola, who has released singles on Quality Goods Records and Electric Hawk, EPs on mau5trap and Bassrush, collaborated with progressive contemporaries Siska, Silva, Low Poly, and CAPSHUN (the latter of which was handpicked by CloZee for her Gravitas comp), and landed coveted festival slots at Okeechobee and EDC. Sprouting from a bleak live show landscape, Loret de Mola landed high-profile dates with Minnesota, Chee, and a featured role at Infrasound Music Festival and Shambhala. Tastemakers forging the next frontier in the left-field electronic space are flocking to Floret Loret's field to bask in his creations.To learn more visit: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1SOahWJen3CxHs0e9eCmFe?si=a__4bwsHRDC2srR2PWOspw

Like many kids, I loved it when I heard the bells of the ice cream truck heading down my street. I know they still exist, but they're not something you often see. Now that we have convenience stores, you can get your favorite frozen treat anytime. Back in the day, I had a few go-to choices. A bomb pop or a creamsicle were always at the top of my list. Creamsicles or orange cream isn't always easy to find. But that might change this year. Tastemakers claim that it'll be the flavor of Summer. And from what I witnessed yesterday, I think they're correct...

Spring art week just wrapped in New York City. Known for its extravagant floral displays and signature oysters and champagne, TEFAF is the fair with a vibe. This year, 91 exhibitors from 13 countries presented everything from antiquities to modern and contemporary art and design at the stately Park Avenue Armory. There's a real sense of passion here— dealers are eager to share the stories behind their works. Which brings us to today's episode, recorded live at the Thrill of the Chase panel with three very different cultural omnivores who personify Tefaf's ethos which span centuries and styles. Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn‘s gallery Salon 94, has long blurred the lines between art and design. Housed in a Beaux-Arts townhouse on the Upper East Side she has presented everything from Rick Owens furniture to the recent Kennedy Yanko solo exhibitions. Adam Charlap Hyman, co-founder of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, brings a sweeping vision to interiors, furniture, architecture, and opera sets. He also curates, most recently Glass Subjects at R & Company which is currently on view. Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Curator of Contemporary Design at the Cooper Hewitt, began her career in literature before turning to storytelling through objects. Her work explores symbolism, inclusion, and cultural memory. Together, they explore what makes an object irresistible. Is it beauty, rarity—or the story it tells? In this conversation, Artnet Studio's William Van Meter dig into the thrill of discovery, the elusive “X factor,” and how great objects help shape layered narratives.

This framework lets scientists remix existing methods to create new AI models—like one that beat current image classifiers by 8%. Even cooler? There are blank spots hinting at undiscovered algorithms. It's like AI's own version of scientific alchemy.When AI Makes Art: What Happens to Human Creativity?As AI-generated art floods our feeds, the real question isn't "Can AI be creative?" but "What does creativity mean now?" This editor's letter explores how AI reshapes art, urging us to see it not as a threat but as a partner. The future of creativity might be more collaborative than we ever imagined. AI Films Are Now Eligible for Oscars—But Human Creativity Still ReignsThe Academy has updated its rules: films using AI tools are officially Oscar-eligible. But here's the twist—AI won't boost or hurt your chances. What matters is how much human creativity is at the core. This comes after AI-enhanced performances like Adrien Brody's in The Brutalist stirred debate. The message? AI can assist, but the heart of the story better be human.China and the U.S. Are Building AI Empires—But on Totally Different FoundationsThe U.S. and China are both racing to dominate AI, but their strategies are worlds apart. While the U.S. flexes with cutting-edge GPUs and cloud giants, China is going DIY—crafting its own chips like Huawei's Ascend 910C and training models like DeepSeek on limited hardware. Despite U.S. export bans, China's scaling up with what it's got, proving that necessity really is the mother of invention.The 4 Types of AI Agent Users—and What They WantA new survey breaks down AI agent users into four vibes: Smarty Pants (info junkies), Minimalists (keep it simple), Life-Hackers (efficiency nerds), and Tastemakers (curated everything). Each group has unique needs, from decision support to personalized recs. For brands, it's a cheat sheet for building AI tools that actually click with users.Who Has Time to Be Polite to ChatGPT?TechRadar's Graham Barlow questions the habit of saying "please" and "thank you" to AI like ChatGPT. He argues that since AI lacks consciousness, such politeness is unnecessary and time-consuming. Barlow also notes that these extra words increase computational load, leading to higher costs and environmental impact. He advocates for concise interactions, reserving courtesy for human exchanges.

Von der Kleinen Freiheit zur großen Botschaft! Als Mitgründer der Agentur Zukunftsmusik ist Guido Remmert seit bestimmt 20 Jahren einer der prägenden Akteure der regionalen Musik- und Clubkultur in Osnabrück und dem Umland. Als gelernter Handwerker gelang der Einstieg in die Branche über das Booking und früh gab es die Gelegenheit mit der „Kleinen Freiheit“ einen eigenen Club zu eröffnen. Remmert erzählt, wie sie sich damals zu dritt mit viel Enthusiasmus, aber wenig Erfahrung ins Abenteuer stürzten – und warum sie das Tour-Booking bald aufgaben, um sich ganz auf Gastronomie und Veranstaltungsmanagement zu konzentrieren. Heute betreibt Zukunftsmusik gleich mehrere Locations in Osnabrück – zuletzt wurde die Botschaft eröffnet, ein neuer Club mit 1.300er Kapazität. Remmert erzählt im Redfield Podcast mit Alexander Schröder wie diese Größenordnung in einer Stadt wie Osnabrück eine Lücke im Veranstaltungskalender schließen kann, wie man so ein Projekt überhaupt stemmen kann und führt aus, warum ausgerechnet jetzt so ein ambitioniertes Projekt entstanden ist. Das Gespräch gibt tiefe Einblicke in die Welt der Live- und Clubkultur: Wie teuer darf ein Konzert sein? Wo liegt der wirtschaftliche Kipppunkt? Und wie schafft man es heute noch, sich als regionaler Kulturmacher und Tastemaker zu etablieren? www.zukunfts-musik.de www.redfield-podcast.de

David Remnick talks with The New Yorker's literary guiding lights: the fiction editor Deborah Treisman and the poetry editor Kevin Young. Treisman edited “A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker,” and Young edited “A Century of Poetry in The New Yorker,” both of which were published this month.  “When you asked me to do this,” Young remarks to David Remnick, “I think my first response was, I've only wanted to do this since I was fifteen. . . . It was kind of a dream come true.” Treisman talks about the way that stories age, and the difficulty of selecting stories. “The thing to remember is that even geniuses don't always write their best work right right off the bat. People make a lot of noise about rejection letters from The New Yorker that went to famous writers, or later-famous writers. And they were probably justified, those rejections.”

Ep.228 ELLIOTT BARNES A Los Angeles native, Elliott Barnes graduated from Cornell University in New York State in 1985 with a Bachelors and a Masters in Architecture and Urban Planning. In 1984 the AIA member architect began his career with Arthur Erickson Architects in Los Angeles. In 1987, he joined the Paris office of renowned designer Andrée Putman, who in 1997 handed over the design management of her firm to him, a position he occupied until 2003. In 2004 Elliott Barnes created his own interior design firm in Paris. His aesthetic talents meant that he was immediately sought-after for exceptional design projects, including private residential properties, retail and institutional spaces, hotels and spa, installations in France and abroad. As his work shows, it is his obsession with detail that characterizes his style, which is both eclectic and demure. His notable projects include a visitors and reception center for Champagne Billecart Salmon in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the new Tai Ping showroom in Paris, the five-star Hotel de Montesquieu in Paris, as well as the Ritz Carlton palace in Wolfsburg in Germany. A sterling silver limited edition collection for Christofle around the theme of Champagne now on exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, a chalet in Megève (France), the headquarters and tasting center of Ruinart in Reims, a rug collection for Tai Ping, or a penthouse showcase apartment of the real estate group Mitsui in Tokyo, and a chalet in Verbier (Switzerland). He designed the scenography for the exhibition on Gaby Aghion at the Jewish Museum in New York in October 2023. In 2024 his Endless Summer II bench, was acquired by Le Mobilier National, the French National Furniture Collection. The Elliott Barnes style resides in his elegant handling of light and use of both unusual and noble materials which invest unique, exclusive spaces with an innovative approach to luxury. His design talent has been acclaimed by the magazines AD France-AD 100 since 2014, ELLE Decor USA-A List and Architectural Digest USA-AD100 since 2021. In 2023 he was the winner of the «Talent for Elegance» award from The Centre du Luxe et de la Création, France. Wallpaper magazine selected him as one of the 300 American design creatives to know in 2023 and one of the 400 American creatives to know in the Tastemakers category in 2024. Elliott Barnes is considered one of the top 100 interior designers in the world. Passionate about art, Elliott Barnes is also the founder of The Barnes Contemporary (@thebarnescontemporary), a private collection based upon portraits of his family members by artists from the African diaspora. This collection was initiated 12 years ago.

Many chefs spend their entire careers content to run a single restaurant. But others have a different vision – one that encompasses multiple locations or even various kinds of eateries. This week, we take a look at three such New Orleans restaurateurs and find out how they've gone about building their culinary empires. We begin with Chef Aaron Burgau, who opened his first restaurant, Patois, in 2007. Since then, he's opened or acquired several dining spots – each one completely different from the last. Aaron shares the secrets to his success. Next, restaurateur Greg Tillery recalls the leap of faith that led him to buy a food truck, where he learned, through trial and error, how to run a business. He explains to us how those efforts led to his We Dat's Chicken and Shrimp, with locations in different states – and even a seasoning line. Finally, we look back at one of New Orleans' most colorful culinary characters – the late Al Copeland, who founded the Popeyes fried chicken empire. This kitchen-rags-to-chicken-riches story is the subject of the book, Secrets of a Tastemaker. Al Copeland, Jr. joins us to discuss his father's life – from his humble beginnings and through its highs and lows. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

Founded in 2011 by journeyman cellar hand and self-taught Winemaker Chris Christensen, Bodkin Wines disrupted the sparkling wine scene with America's First Sparkling Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc in 2012. With one foot rooted in wine science and the other in craftsman- ship, Christensen's minimalist philosophy guides his signature style of high acid, low alcohol wines. These wines have garnered over two dozen 90+ point scores in critical review over the past 8 years alone. In addition to being named as a ‘Winemaker to Watch' by Esther Mobley of the SF Chronicle in 2017, Christensen was also selected to the Wine Enthusiasts' 40 Under 40 Tastemakers list for 2020. As an African-American winemaker Christensen works to promote diversity and inclusion in the wine industry through speaking engagements, podcasts and mentorship opportunities for aspiring vintners and winery owners.
