Get ready for a journey through time, culture, and the lush hills of Sonoma Valley on this episode of Beats Vines & Life. Host MJ Towler sits down with the legendary Phil Coturri, a man known as The Godfather of organic mountain grape viticulture and the force behind Enterprise Vineyard Management and Winery 16600.


In this colorful conversation, Phil opens up about his roots as a third-generation San Franciscan, growing up during the revolutionary 60s and soaking up the vibrancy of the Beat movement, the Summer of Love, and the rise of Bay Area music. Together, MJ and Phil weave stories that link the evolution of California winemaking with cultural milestones—from early experiments in natural, additive-free wines to wild times with the Grateful Dead, Rolling Stone magazine, and the cosmic transformation that came with psychedelics and free-thinking art.


Expect tales about family, food, the joy (and chaos) of farming, the influence of complex microclimates on great wine, and how the rhythms of music and poetry are forever entwined with the creative process of living—and winemaking. Whether you’re here for the music, the lifestyle, or the deep dives into organic viticulture, this is an episode brimming with wisdom, wit, and a few legendary California rabbit holes.


Pour yourself a glass and tune in; this is Beats Vines & Life with Phil C.!
