Dr. Laura Catena (AUDIO): Managing Director of Award-Winning Vintner-Catena Wines, Biologist, Physician, Author Shares Journey to Wine AW Confidential: Sharing stories that help us connect and learn from different perspectives.

Dr. Laura Catena always saw wine as more than a beverage, it is educational and purposeful. In a sea of wine lovers around the world, her passion for wines has helped take her father's vision of 30 years ago to create iconic wines. Catena Zapata is the oldest Argentine family winery, founded in 1902. Their wines have more 100-point wine ratings than any other wine in South America.
Laura is a 4th generation vintner and Managing Director of Catena Zapata in Mendoza, which was voted number one in the world's best vineyards to visit in 2023. She left Argentina knowing limited English; established herself in the U.S. and attended Harvard, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a medical degree. Her love for wine came while on a trip to Bordeaux, France with her father. Today, she oversees the operations at her family's renowned winery. 
AW sat with her to discuss her journey, using her medical background in the wine industry, and lessons learned. We even received some of her favorite wine recommendations.
