Founded in 2009 by renowned winemaker Jesse Katz, Aperture is his passion project, born from his travels with his famous photographer father, Andy Katz. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of French grower Champagne, before embarking on a tasting of the winery’s most limited and sought-after offerings.

About the Winemaker – Jesse Katz
Jesse crafts exceptional wines with a deep, rich flavor profile.

With several 100-point wines to his name, his 2015 The Setting Wines bottle made headlines in 2017 when it became the most expensive single bottle ever sold at $350,000. That record was surpassed in 2021 when a 6-liter bottle of The Setting fetched $1 million at Emeril Lagasse’s annual charity wine auction. Jesse also creates bespoke wines for celebrities and athletes, including Tony Hawk, Shep Gordon, and even Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s wedding wine. His work has been spotlighted in top media outlets such as Wine and Spirits, Food and Wine, Wine Advocate, Bloomberg, Huffington Post, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, People, Forbes, ESPN, Esquire, and many other national and international publications.
