Author: DKPS Media July 8, 2026 Duration: 58:09
What happens when a television producer leaves Hollywood to create one of California's most inspiring wineries?

In this episode, we discover the remarkable story behind Vinyl Vineyards, where exceptional wines, timeless music, and meaningful moments come together to create an experience unlike any other.Join us as we talk with Jeff Hevert, the winemaker whose life took an extraordinary turn from producing reality television to crafting premium wines on California's Central Coast.  

Starting over as a cellar intern at the age of 40, Jeff embraced a completely new path driven by passion, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability.Together, we explore how Vinyl Vineyards was born from the idea of reinvention—drawing inspiration from iconic artists like David Bowie—and why slowing down, sharing a bottle of wine, listening to great music, and reconnecting with the people around us may be life's greatest luxury.

Discover the philosophy behind handcrafted wines that express both place and emotion, the importance of regenerative farming, and why every bottle is designed to create memories rather than simply fill a glass.Whether you're passionate about wine, entrepreneurship, music, or stories of personal transformation, this conversation will inspire you to embrace change, savor the present, and celebrate the moments that truly matter.Pour your favorite glass, put on a great record, and join us for an unforgettable conversation with Jeff Hevert and the world of Vinyl Vineyards.

Crossing the Atlantic from its original home, Wine Soundtrack-USA brings a deeply personal format to American listeners. This podcast, produced by DKPS Media, sits at a unique intersection where the arts of storytelling and winemaking converge. Instead of tasting notes or vintage charts, each episode is built around a candid conversation where a wine producer answers thirty questions. That framework reveals the person behind the label-their history, their philosophy, and the daily realities of running a vineyard. You’ll hear the unscripted hopes and challenges that define a vintage long before the bottle is ever opened. It’s about the landscape, the family decisions, and the quiet moments in the cellar that most never get to witness. Originally launched in Italy in 2017, this series has built a reputation for intimacy, and its U.S. launch extends that same thoughtful inquiry to American soil. For anyone curious about what it truly means to craft wine, this podcast offers a direct line to the source. The conversations are less an interview and more an invitation to listen in on a story that’s been years in the making, one that gives context and character to every glass. It’s for those who believe the best part of wine is the human connection it represents.
