The Wine Makers on Radio MisfitsThe Wine Makers – Cathy Corison, Grace Corison & Anna BrittainCathy Corison is a legend, pioneer, and true trailblazer in the California wine industry. In the 1970s, when most women were limited to lab work, Cathy set her sights on winemaking. She earned her place at Freemark Abbey and Yverdon, eventually becoming head winemaker at Chappellet in 1980. While the wine world leaned toward big, bold, hedonistic Napa Cabernets, Cathy stayed true to her vision—crafting restrained, elegant wines that initially flew under the radar of critics like Robert Parker.
Today, under her own label, Corison, Cathy is celebrated as one of California’s most respected producers.
