This week on Through the Grapevine, we welcome Brad and Ally Kurtz of Vine Farm Ridge—Livermore Valley’s newest winery making big moves on the first ridge above the valley floor.
Brad returns to the show with Ally joining for the first time, and together they share the bold vision behind reviving a neglected 14-acre site, discovering its hidden potential, and replanting it to build a vineyard that honors both California heritage and Mediterranean tradition.

From head-trained field blends to the historic Blind Boss Vineyard, the Kurtz family is carving their own path and pushing the region forward. If you’re curious about the next generation of Livermore wine and the people determined to shape its future, this episode is a must-listen.
