Arizona's Hidden Gem: Meet the Retirees Who Built an Award-Winning Winery from Scratch!

from Fill Your Plate NOW · host Julie Murphree, Tammy Baker

In this landmark episode of Fill Your Plate Now — the first time we've welcomed an Arizona winemaker to the show — we sit down with Emil Molin, founder, owner, and executive winemaker of Cove Mesa Vineyard in Arizona's stunning Verde Valley AVA. Join us as Emil shares his remarkable journey: retiring, diving into viticulture and enology studies, launching an ultra-premium family winery with his wife, Cindy, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and quickly earning awards for their elegant, old-world-style wines that showcase the unique Arizona terroir. From meticulous craftsmanship, discover what makes Cove Mesa a rising star in Arizona wine country. Whether you're a wine lover, aspiring vintner, or just curious about local food and agriculture stories, this conversation is full of passion, perseverance, and plenty of sips of inspiration.
