Brewster McCall - food & hospitality industry veteran, director of brand development & leadership at Gourmet Foods International

Today's guest is Brewster McCall.  Brewster and I met working in the restaurant industry 15 years ago.  He was an aspiring actor and model, with a passion for wine, cocktails and hospitality.  Brewster's southern upbringing  and family connection made him a perfect fit for the food and beverage industry.  Brewster and I discuss his career path, including a stint doing burlesque, how he found his way into the family business, his focus on sustainability, brand development and building and maintaining leadership in the company.  We also chat about McCall Wines, an incredible winery that Brewster's father started on the North Fork of long island.  They produce a variety of wines, including award winning pinot noir, and also raise cattle that roam on the lush grass of the north fork.
