Redefining Wine Culture, Building Legacy Vineyards and World-Class Wine Experiences: Chatting the Vines with Michael Evans and Wright Lassiter.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Beats, Vines & Life, where host MJ Towler takes us deep into the world of passion-driven winemaking and the lifestyle that surrounds it. Broadcasting live from a secret spot in Northern California, MJ sits down with Michael Evans, the founder of The Vines, and Wright Lassiter, a dedicated member, entrepreneur, and renowned wine collector. In this engaging bonus episode, you’ll hear how a two-week trip to Argentina turned into a life-changing adventure for Michael, leading to the creation of a sprawling 900-acre winemaking community where over 350 owners—including Wright—craft their own unique wines. Listeners will be inspired by Wright’s journey from his first taste of wine in Alabama to blending international vintages and launching family-dedicated wine labels that honor heritage and celebrate the joy of sharing. Together, MJ, Michael, and Wright peel back the curtain on the global wine lifestyle—from intimate, seven-hour dinners featuring rare bottles and good company, to building one of South America’s top resorts and bringing winemakers together from around the world. Whether you’re a music fan, a connoisseur of fine living, or just passionate about life's richest experiences, this episode delivers an inside look at how beats, vines, and a zest for life come together to create unforgettable moments. Tune in and get ready to be inspired by these true mavericks of wine, travel, and culture.For more information about The Vines Resort & Spa click the link!Follow The Vines Resort & Spa on IG!For more information about Lassiter Family Vineyards click the link!Follow Lassiter Vines on IG!____________________________________________________________Until next time, cheers to the mavericks, philosophers, deep thinkers, and wine drinkers! Subscribe and give Beats Vines and Life a five-star review on whichever platform you listen to.For insider info from MJ and exclusive content from the show, sign up at blackwineguy.comFollow MJ @blackwineguyFollow Beats Vines and Life @beatsvinesandlifeThank you to our sponsor, The Conaway Fund.
