Today on "The Pour with Adam Montiel," we have the privilege of speaking with a true innovator and visionary whose career has spanned multiple industries, leaving an indelible mark on each. John Couch is perhaps best known for his trailblazing work in technology, where he held the distinguished title of Apple’s first Vice President of Education. During his tenure, John led initiatives that revolutionized the way technology is integrated into classrooms, fostering an era of digital learning that continues to shape the education landscape today.

But John's journey doesn't stop there. A man of diverse talents and interests, he has recently transitioned from the world of tech to the scenic beauty of San Luis Obispo, embracing the rich culture and community of California’s Central Coast. Here, John has embarked on a new venture that combines his passion for innovation with his love for viticulture, establishing Couch Family Wines. His dedication to excellence and his drive to create something truly unique is evident in every bottle, reflecting the same pioneering spirit that characterized his time at Apple.

Join us as we dive into John Couch’s remarkable journey from Silicon Valley to the vineyards of San Luis Obispo, exploring how his experiences have shaped his approach to winemaking and what he envisions for the future of Couch Family Wines.

About ‘The Pour with Adam Montiel’:

In 2010, Radio Host Adam Montiel combined his longtime love for broadcasting with his, then, new love for wine. He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks’. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. 

As the area grew, soon Adam’s interview’s covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.  

Here, We Taste It. We Spill It. We Leave it All On the Table. This is ‘The Pour’ with Adam Montiel.
