Summary

What happens when a kid from Austria falls head over heels for wine and ends up running the show at one of New York’s top restaurants? You get Aldo Sohm—award-winning sommelier, wine director at the legendary Le Bernardin, and one of the most approachable experts in the biz.

In this episode, Aldo shares how his culinary beginnings led him to the world of wine, where he found not just a career, but a calling. We talk about the power of wine to bring people together, the lessons Mother Nature dishes out to winemakers, and why staying humble is the secret ingredient to success in this business.

We also sip through his personal passion project, Sohm & Kracher Wines, and geek out (in the best way) over Gruner Veltliner & Gelber Muskateller. Aldo busts a few wine myths (yes, Riesling and Chardonnay deserve better PR), gives his take on Gen Z’s wine vibes, and reminds us that great wine is about context, curiosity, and connection.
