On this episode of Beats, Vines & Life, host MJ Towler sits down for an illuminating conversation with Larry Turley, founder of Turley Wine Cellars.


This episode dives deep into Larry’s remarkable journey from growing up on an organic farm in Tennessee, navigating the Jim Crow South, and working as an ER doctor, to ultimately founding one of California’s most iconic Zinfandel houses.


MJ and Larry weave through everything from early experiences with wine, family influences, and the evolution of Napa Valley's wine scene, to the preservation of historic vineyards, the art of old vine Zinfandel, and the unique quirks and personalities that have shaped Turley Wine Cellars.


You’ll hear about the challenges and rewards of organic farming, the critical importance of education and literacy, and Larry’s culinary adventures that pair perfectly with his legendary wines.


If you love stories of transformation, American culture, and the intersection of philosophy, music, and lifestyle with great food and wine, this episode will inspire and entertain. Grab a glass and join us as we explore the incredible beats, vines, and life of Larry Turley.
