On episode six of The Assemblage Wine Podcast, I have the opportunity to interview one of my professors from my time at The Culinary Institute of America. He was the one who pushed me to move to Chicago and get a stage at The Aviary (one of the hardest, but most rewarding jobs that I have ever had). His name is John Fischer. Listen to this episode to hear about his childhood, how he worked in fantastic restaurants in New York City, and his decision to return to his alma mater to teach. We also talk about what local Hudson Valley beers he is excited about, as well as his most noteworthy wines he has drank during his career!
