Winemaker
Jesse Katz
Jesse Katz has made himself into a respected wine professional in California. He is the first winemaker ever to be included in the Forbes 30 under 30 list and named Wine Spectator “Rising Star”. 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. Previously, he worked at Pétrus, Screaming Eagle, Viña Cobos, Bodega Noemia, and more. For Jesse, nothing matters more than the wine itself.
