Tyzok Wharton, Carboy Winery

Tyzok began his foray into winemaking in San Francisco in 2005, by way of Craigslist. It was a seasonal job listing at an urban winery that provided a foot in the door to an industry that would have him working with a multitude of winemakers, vineyards, and methodologies over the course of the next decade. In 2016, he was recruited to assist in the development and launch of Carboy Winery. Over the course of the next nine vintages in Colorado, he and his team have been an integral driver for the increase of quality and recognition of the Colorado wine industry. Now with two decades of wine production experience, Tyzok Wharton is the Director of Winemaking at Carboy Winery. “We strive to craft bold, high-elevation wines that embody Colorado’s adventurous spirit, foster community with every pour, and shape the future of winemaking in the Centennial State.”

Alexandra Kayir, Strongwater

Alex has been obsessed with the transformative powers of smell and taste her entire life. From her childhood experiments converting a tool shed into an herbal apothecary at 5 years old to her drive to becoming an herbalist and sommelier, she’s always followed her nose. Working in the food and beverage industry since the age of 16, her passion for fermentation and flavor has given her a vibrant resume. A fervent supporter of local artisans and markets, she’s proud to call Colorado home. When she’s not creating and peddling potions for STRONGWATER, you can find her adventuring outdoors and foraging for her next feast or fiesta.

Strongwater was founded in CO, the Wild West of beverages by a mixologist, herbalist and chemist who wanted to break free of bland cocktail convention. Inspired by 17th century “Strongwater” shops where spirits were used as medicine to heal, Strongwater set out to create unique mountain elixirs for a more elevated and inspired take on bar staples. Today, Strongwater empowers you to effortlessly craft world-class cocktails. Steeped in the wisdom of ancient alchemy, we’ve modernized mixology, curated for the curious.
