Tech vs Craft: Making Food, Wine and Spirits
Does modern culinary culture pit technology vs. craft? Does using modern technology diminish or augment the experience of making wine, spirits, or cuisine?

We ask our 3 expert panelists how these tensions have played out in their lives, kitchens, vineyards, and stills.
