TTG #9 'Julio Covarrubias'

Summary: <p>This episode has been a long time coming. Over the past couple of months we have talked about many of the people, wines, and food that inspire us to thrive in this amazing industry. Without this man the Livermore Valley would not be what it is today...fact. Julio Covarrubias is a second generation Mexican immigrant who's family name has a long history of hard-work here in the Bay Area and have earned everything they gained. Join us as we dive in to what inspires a man who has worked for the same family for over 40+  years. From humble beginnings to a prosperous life full of pride, and happiness if you are looking for inspiration, look no further. </p> <p>Julio started his journey here in the states managing Real Estate properties, investing in homes and renovating them to be resold on the market. Needless to say he was quite the shark, had he stayed in the business who knows where he would be now. But what you will learn about Julio in this episode is his loyalty and genuine passion for his craft and family. We were honored to have him on the podcast to share his perspective on what makes this region great for far more than just farming vineyards. The Covarrubias name goes just about as far back here in the Livermore Valley as the Wente name itself. His father worked as a farmer here in the valley long before Julio knew what he would become for this region. He has now worked with the past 4 generations of Wente. </p> <p>You can find his immaculate 20 acre estate just before Greenville Rd. off Tesla in the heart of the valley. We follow Collin as moderator on this episode as he guides us through his partnership with both Julio and the Casa de Vinas Vineyard. We also dive into 3 legendary bottles taken straight from the treasure trove that lies beneath the Casa de Vinas Estate. </p> <p>This episode speaks to a much bigger message than what the three of us, on our young journeys, have been able to capture. This episode speaks to the American Dream, an idea that may seem nostalgic to some these days. Julio Covarrubias not only thrived in this era, he helped define what this tagline has come to mean today. We probably should have named this episode as 'shut up and listen' because it is rare that we get the chance to engage with such wisdom. </p> <p>Through The GrapeVine is honored to present Julio Covarrubias. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Follow us on Spotify - Apple Podcast - Anchor - GoogleCast and anywhere that you may listen to noise.<br> Instagram - @ttg_podcast</p> <p>Send us your thoughts on this episode and we will be sure to respond with our. </p> <p>Lastly, we cannot thank you enough for being the fuel to what keeps us pressing forward to bring you amazing guests like this. </p>
