Brenden Robnik, Founder, Wine Animal

Behind the Wines · Jul 28, 2026 · 31m

Wine is serious business. Luckily, the Wine Animal isn't.

Today we are very pleased to meet with Brenden (or Brenno, as many know him), who spent nearly 20 years as a carpenter by day, and a Wine Animal by night—or any other waking moment he could find.

Recently, he took the leap to focus on wine full-time, a calculated yet thrilling risk – one of the scariest yet most rewarding decisions of his life. This passion has grown into a viable business.

Today we talk all things wine with… the Wine Animal.
