When you think of Mexico, chances are “world-class wines” don’t pop to mind. Jim Riley, along with his business partner Eric Morley, want to change that with their import business, Baja United.
This week on The Coast Conversation executive editor Samantha Dunn and producer Mike “the Millennial” Gravagno talk to Riley about how his love of racing in Baja introduced him to the region’s wine growing area, Valle de Guadalupe, and gave him the desire to help Mexico’s children in need. A percentage of Baja United’s proceeds go to help Corazon de Vida, an OC-based nonprofit that supports orphanages in Tijuana and other parts of Baja. Listen to the interview here, on Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.
