In this episode of Uncorked: Wine, Business & Life, Bill Green and Jerrold Colton welcome legendary investor Ira Lubert to the Saddlehill Winery Tasting Room. Known as one of Philadelphia’s most iconic investors, Ira shares the incredible journey from winning a New Jersey state wrestling championship to becoming a contrarian investor who has raised over $17 billion and built a reputation for protecting the downside. He reflects on his deep ties to Penn State as an athlete, board chairman, and philanthropist, including his role in elevating the wrestling program to national dominance. From his early entrepreneurial days buying mobile homes to spearheading landmark investments like the Valley Forge Casino, Ira offers invaluable lessons on timing, luck, discipline, and daring to fail. A rare, candid conversation with a true heavyweight in business and life.

In Episode 15 of Uncorked: Wine, Business, and Life, we sit down with South Jersey legend Adam Taliaferro — whose inspiring comeback from a career-ending spinal injury as a Penn State freshman became one of the most powerful stories in college football history.

After being paralyzed during a game at Ohio State, Adam was told he’d never walk again. Less than a year later, he led the Penn State Nittany Lions out of the tunnel — walking on his own. His journey didn’t stop there.

Today, he’s a lawyer, lobbyist, former NJ Assemblyman, philanthropist, and the founder of the Adam Taliaferro Foundation, which has helped thousands of spinal injury patients rebuild their lives.

🎙️ In this emotional and powerful conversation, we cover:

His career as a lawyer, lobbyist & public servant
