THE LIST OF FAMOUS WINEMAKERS INCLUDES NOT ONLY ACTORS, FOOTBALLERS AND SHOW BIZ VIPS, THERE IS ALSO THE 2011 NOBEL PRIZE WINNER FOR PHYSICS, BRIAN SCHMIDT, WHO PRODUCES WINE WITH HIS WIFE IN HIS COMPANY MAIPENRAI IN SUTTON, AUSTRALIA

The list of famous winemakers includes not only actors, footballers and show business personalities, but also the Nobel Prize winner for Physics in 2011 Brian Schmidt, who makes wine with his wife in his company Maipenrai in Sutton, New South Wales, near Canberra (Australia).
Schmidt, the only winemaker in the world with a Nobel Prize in Physics, produces mainly Pinot Noir “because”, he says, “I think it's the variety that goes best with the climate and soil of my company. I am completely self-taught but I seek advice from neighbor wine growers. My scientific training, however, is very useful in the vineyard. I have developed a comprehensive database of the weather in Maipenrai over the years and I use it to try to get the best taste when it comes time to pick grapes. I am also interested in the various climate changes”, he continued, “trying to figure out if in the future Pinot Noir will still be the right variety for my business or if it is already the case to try growing other varieties. Needless to say, when I won the Nobel Prize in 2011, we depleted our stocks toasting that year!”
