Ep 36: Zero Proof, Full Flavor: Unveiling the Non-Alcoholic Napa Cab Crafted by a Family of Visionaries

Episode summary:

The Kamat family is the embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit. In this episode, Jen talks to Drs. Vinay and Sona Kamat and their son Ehan. They stopped drinking alcohol 10 years ago, but maintained an appreciation for exploring the complexities of flavors. 

Jennifer and the Kamats talk about the benefits of not drinking, how you can still enjoy beer and wine through mocktails and NA options, and how their new non-alcoholic Napa Cab, Domaine Kamat, was created.  Plus, you get to learn how alcohol is removed from wine - cool, huh?


The Kamat Family

Ehan Kamat is a true entrepreneur and idea guy. He created his first product when he was only 12 and was on Shark Tank by 17! Since then, he's graduated from UC Berkeley business school and is now working with his dad on this next business endeavor. 

When they're not creating wine, Vinay and Sona work as physicians in St. Louis, MO. When their son came to them with a dream to buy a vineyard in Napa and create a non-alcoholic Napa Cab, they were all in!

Favorite Quotes:

"It's kind of the ritual that we were more attracted to than the actual alcohol." - Dr. Vinay Kamat

We’ll pop open two wines  from Eleven Eleven, including a tantalizing Chardonnay from the esteemed Dutton Ranch in Sonoma Valley.

We’re not just talking grapes and goblets today; we’re uncovering the rich narrative behind the Eleven Eleven wine brand in Napa Valley. Ellie shares Eleven Eleven's commitment to quality and excellence, focusing on single vineyard, small production wines. Find out the significance of the name Eleven Eleven and join us in a tasting session featuring the XI Cabernet Sauvignon, a robust blend of five Bordeaux varietals from the estate's original vineyard.

We cap things off with a journey into the heart of boutique wineries, where Ellie spills the secrets of Eleven Eleven's resilience amidst the turbulence and transformation brought about by COVID-19. Make your moment with us and Eleven Eleven Wines, and let the stories and flavors unfold.
