The Neyers Legacy: Vineyards, Family, and Lifelong Ambitions

Beats Vines and Life

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of "Beats Vines & Life," where we dive deep into the rhythms of winemaking, the melodies of life, and everything in between. I’m your host, MJ Towler, and today, we have a remarkable guest who encapsulates the spirit of Napa Valley’s wine legacy.

Today, we sit down with Bruce Neyers, a pioneer who has combined the best Old World wine traditions with California's dynamic winemaking landscape. Bruce's journey takes us from his roots in Wilmington, Delaware, to the expansive vineyards of Napa Valley.

We’ll explore Bruce's challenges and triumphs—from custom crush operations at Rombauer Vineyards to establishing his own thriving winery with ingenuity and perseverance. We'll uncover his insightful philosophy on winemaking, honoring the Old World while embracing New World innovation, and delve into his hands-on approach, including the charming tradition of foot-crushing grapes like Carignan.

We'll also touch on Bruce's expansive career, from a pivotal harvest in Germany’s Nahe region to his influential role with Kermit Lynch's renowned wine portfolio. Join us as Bruce shares stories of family, friendships, and the serendipitous moments that shaped Neyers Vineyards’ legacy—culminating in his daughter Lizzie’s recent involvement and a promising partnership with the Trinchero family as Bruce plans a well-deserved retirement.

So pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine, settle in, and let's embark on this flavorful journey with Bruce Neyers. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!
