In Episode 37 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with Violet Grgich and Ivo Jeramaz, President and Winemaker for Grgich Hills Estate out of Rutherford, CA.
In this episode Violet and Ivo share stories about family, what it means to wear many hats in the wine industry, and what makes them so much more different than other wine brands throughout Napa Valley.
Violet shares an in-depth conversation about her father Mike Grgich who is arguably one of the most impactful and influential people the wine industry has ever seen and how her father single-handedly put California on the map in 1976 at the Judgement of Paris wine tasting beating out all the other competators in his category.
Violet and Ivo also talk about Austin Hills, what he means to their family and what Austin has done for the legacy of Grgich Hills Estate as we know it today.
If there's one thing that I think will resonate with you more than anything in this podcast it's family and how through the strength of family what it means to stay committed to what you believe in no matter what you have to do, or how long it takes you to reach your goals and dreams.
So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode!
Cheers
