It’s all about wine with heart on this episode of Sip Sip Hooray! We welcome Phil Long, winemaker and co-founder, with his late wife Debra, of Longevity Wines in California’s Livermore Valley, east of San Francisco and San Jose. Phil’s a busy man! He just inked a national wine distribution deal — which is a BIG deal — and he recently took on the role of president of the Association of African American Vintners.
Get to know the winemaker for whom hearts hold a special place in his heart, and literally wears his heart on his sleeve, who is working to address diversity and opportunity in the wine world and has a survivor story you won’t forget.
Longevity Wines, 2271 South Vasco Rd. Livermore, CA
Phil’s wines are available on the winery website. Longevity white label Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are distributed nationally and can be found at Wine.com
