Dave Phillips grew up on the family homestead in Lodi, California, which was settles by his Great Great Grandparents in 1865. His youth was spent driving tractors in the vineyards and growing fruit and vegetables to sell at the family’s roadside fruit stands and local farmers markets. Today, he and his brother Michael have created some of the most iconic brands in the wine industry, including Seven Deadly Zins (which they subsequently sold), Earthquake, Freakshow, and their latest project, Outerbound. He is passionate about sustainability and his community. Dave and his wife, Corene, have two boys, and travel the world together marketing their winery and extolling the virtues of Lodi fruit. His passions include Ultra running, mountain biking, triathlons, and skiing. I invite you to drink in this entertaining episode with the very down-to-earth – and good friend – Dave Phillips.
