\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div><\/div> \t\t\t\t\tJesse Katz\u2019s wine collaboration with the Los Angeles Lakers. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tWhen working with high-profile clients, Katz, who became known for his Bordeaux-style blends, also prioritizes purpose and authenticity. He selects projects based on the level of engagement everyone shows in the process. \u201cI have been very intentional on who I have decided to work with and have always ensured the final product is just as unique and special as the collaboration, taking no shortcuts,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \n\tSometimes, the requests are surprising. \u201cAn artist (I cannot name) asked me if I would trade a barrel of wine for my dream watch. I made it happen,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \n\tOne of Katz\u2019s most memorable experiences was making wine for Biel and Timberlake\u2019s wedding in 2012. \u201cCollaborating with Jessica and her family has been inspiring because, with any great collaboration, they bring a new perspective on how to look at every detail in the art we are all making together,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \n\tThe winemaker has been friends with Biel\u2019s family for over 20 years, and was also the best man at the actress\u2019 brother Justin Biel\u2019s wedding, for which he created the Prophet and Poet wine. \u201cGetting to stand by his side as he was getting married, along with creating the first vintage of what has now turned into its own brand, was very powerful for me,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tJesse Katz with Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tWhen asked about dream collaborations, he listed names from music and art, including Mick Jagger and RZA, but said, \u201cIt\u2019s not just about artists, it\u2019s about creative integrity, mood and message. I want to work with people who think about culture and impact, the way I think about wine.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tAnother dream project would be creating a wine for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s wedding. \u201cThis would make my wife extremely happy, and I really do enjoy making wine for love,\u201d he said. \u201cI could do something really unique with that blend!\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tShawn White with his custom wine by Jesse Katz. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tSon of renowned photographer Andy Katz, the Aperture founder built his brand by blending art and lifestyle with winemaking. \u201cI feel very fortunate that I have been able to observe how great wines have been made throughout the world in a lot of different styles, climates, regions, soils, etc., from my childhood following around my photographer father who was doing books all over the world on wine to my professional career,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause I was introduced to wine in my early teens through my father\u2019s artwork, the sense of place and artistic approach has always been indoctrinated in me.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tOn Sept. 27, Aperture will launch a new series, the Collage Tasting Experience, featuring two wines crafted from Sonoma\u2019s terroirs. To mark the launch, the winery will host a one-day collaboration with SingleThread Farm, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Healdsburg. Following the kickoff event, Aperture will continue the Collage Tasting Experience, starting Oct. 2 at the Aperture Estate, with an ongoing series featuring rotating local purveyors, artisans and performers. Other wines are available at aperture-cellars.com, with prices varying from $35 to $250. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source wwd.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jesse Katz starts each celebrity wine project from scratch. \u201cEverything I do is custom,\u201d the founder of the Sonoma County winery Aperture told WWD.
