Teaching a Computer to Taste with Tastry Founder and CEO Katerina Axelsson

In this episode of the Vint Podcast,  Brady and Billy talk with CEO and Founder of Tastry, Katerina Axelsson. Tastry provides machine learning analysis and client services to evaluate and measure the chemistry of wines against consumer preferences to help producers and retailers optimize for what their consumers want the most. We ask Katerina about technology and the wine industry generally, as well as how AI and machine learning can impact the industry for the benefit of businesses and consumers. From the Tastry website: "Katerina is a graduate of Cal Poly with a B.S. in Chemistry. While in school, Katerina worked at a custom-crush facility and noticed that one of their batches imprinted with two different labels received drastically different industry scores: it was then that she knew there had to be a more science-based way to score wine. Thus, Tastry was born. Over the next three years, she taught a computer how to taste."
