In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Dan Hesse talks with Manfred Krankl, the successful builder of multiple businesses including the restaurant Campanile and the bakery La Brea, but he is best known as a winemaking icon. Manfred is the founder, owner and winemaker at Sine Qua Non, which has redefined the term “cult wine” and earned 25 perfect 100 point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, more than any winery in the world during this time period according to my research. Krankl is an innovator with unusual wine bottle shapes plus his own art that changes each year. According to Chat GPT, Sine Qua Non wines have appreciated more in value in the last decade than any wine in the world, including the famous French Burgundy Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. His new winery Next of Kyn is yet another remarkable success.
