Our Misty Rise wine goes live on July 23, when Russ and Brian Schmidt will be sharing on both leadership challenges and Pinot Noir at a special event hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Australia (AMCHAM). Misty Rise Pinot Noir 2021 will be on show alongside some of Brian’s Maipenrai Pinot Noir. It’s an exciting moment for us at Misty Rise, effectively the launch of our wine to the local Canberra community :
Leadership in Space with a Side of Pinot Noir
Join Nobel Laureate and former Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University, Professor Brian Schmidt AC, and Dr Russell Boyce, Visiting Professor at two leading international business schools and former Director of UNSW Canberra Space, for a compelling conversation on leadership in the final frontier.
You might also be interested in what space leaders do when they’re not reaching for the stars? They make exceptional Pinot Noir. Brian Schmidt and Russell Boyce are the respective founders of Maipenrai Vineyard & Winery and Misty Rise Vineyard & Winery – both on the cool climate high country just east of Canberra.
Join them for a unique conversation on leadership in space – on Earth and beyond. Together, they’ll explore what it takes to lead in the most complex, high-risk environments known to humanity – whether navigating galactic frontiers or cultivating Pinot perfection.
