In Episode #10, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath and Dr. Kenny Friedman welcome Jon Hajdu, winemaker for Covenant Wines of Berkeley, California, and his own eponymous label, Hajdu Wines.
They discuss Jon’s winemaking origin story and his fateful journey from NY to California and Australia in between, and from being an archaeology and pre-med major at SUNY Albany to making his own first wine in 2005 to being named a Wine Enthusiast magazine “40 Under 40” winemaker in 2018.
Hajdu speaks about his philosophy in winemaking and the different style he brings to both Covenant and Hajdu wines.
Known for his whimsical labels, Hajdu credits his wife, Ellie, and her artistry. He mentions new wines and ideas coming soon.
Hajdu talks about his “mevushalizer” invention which he has been working to perfect in small batch flash pasteurization and the effects of mevushal on wine – both short and long term. Additionally, he gives insight into the choices of cork for his wines and their ability to keep wine fresh.
The conversation covers topics such as the production and growth of Covenant and Hajdu wines, the decision-making process for the Besomim blend, the marketability of Zinfandel, and the future release of Alicante Bouschet.
