Matt Murphy is President of Presqu’ile Winery located in Santa Maria, California. Presqu’ile Winery operates a Gravity Flow winery….and Matt is here to explain just what that is.
He is a author, chef, tv celebrity, restaurant owner and…..a wine maker.
Fabio Viviani is celebrity chef well known for his appearances on Top Chef among other television shows.
Born in Italy, Fabio has lived the American dream and after spending a little time chatting with him, this looks like only the beginning. We spoke with Fabio from his base in Chicago.
What’s in a name? When it comes to Presqu’ile Winery, the name is a distinct link to the family that operates the winery. But first, it is pronounced PRESS-KEEL. Second…remember that name…because the Murphy family makes some fantastic wine in a very beautiful part of California. We spoke with Matt Murphy, who heads up the business that really is all about family. It’s a great story, with roots in the south…and deeper roots in farming.
A very Happy New Year to all of our friends and listeners and welcome to our first podcast of 2016!
