Tech vs Craft: Making Food, Wine and Spirits

Friday, March 11
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Old School Bar
401 E 6th St

Pp58084

Does modern culinary culture pit technology vs. craft? Does using modern technology diminish or augment the experience of making wine, spirits, or cuisine? What do we gain and what do we sacrifice by turning away from technology towards more traditional methods? We ask our 3 expert panelists how these tensions have played out in their lives, kitchens, vineyards, and stills.
