Located between Washington DC and the Shenandoah Mountains, it offers year-round wine for all palettes, and all types of people. Regardless of whether you drink wine or not, Pearmund Cellars offers something for everyone, not just wine, but incredible history, incredible background, incredible views, as you can see behind me and incredible company.

What is an entrepreneur? An entrepreneur is someone who operates a business while taking on greater than normal financial risk - ok that’s the dictionary definition. An entrepreneur is also an artist who sees, gaps,  opportunities and angles where other people simply see problems. 

Chris Pearmund is just such an artist - from as early as 7 years old, Chris always had an eye for seeing opportunities and solutions wherever he was. In his first business he turned an avocado tree in his back yard into a thriving enterprise - and that was just the start, he’s come a long way since that first Avocado tree. Today, he owns, manages, and consults with wineries across the country. In fact, he helped start nearly 20 wineries in Virginia alone. His headquarters is Pearmund Cellars, in Broad Run, VA, where we went on location to meet this incredible man.   

If you thought you knew wine, think again, because when your with one of the country's leading wine masters there is so much more to learn — and Chris is just the man to teach us how to drink wine. Even if you don’t drink, 
don’t miss this incredibly fun and informative episode  where we get into wine, business, and what it takes to be wildly successful.  

Welcome to the LIFE WORKS Podcast.
