🎙️ Going Big with Jim Law: A Vineyard, a Vision, and the Virtue of Patience

Jim Law’s story is not one of chasing spotlight or scale. It is a story of deliberate choices, decades of experimentation, and a deep respect for the land. From the hills of the Congo to the rocky slopes of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Jim has lived a life built on clarity, humility, and conviction. At Linden Vineyards, he has chosen to remain small so that the quality could go deep. His focus on terroir, soil, and precision farming has turned him into one of the quiet pioneers of the East Coast wine movement. He did not set out to Go Big—but by following his calling with integrity, that is exactly what he has done.
In this inspiring episode of Going Big, host Kevin Gentry uncovers how Jim built a legacy without ever chasing one. They talk about growing grapes with intention, creating wine that reflects its place, and mentoring a new generation of growers to think long-term and lead with purpose. Whether you're a winemaker, a business builder, or simply someone who wants to live a meaningful life, Jim Law reminds us that you don’t have to scale fast to Go Big. You just have to plant the right seeds and stay true to what matters.
