Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights
There’s Paso… and then there’s Paso during Wine Fest weekend. This episode captures it all — the energy, the people, and the pulse of a region at its most electric.
Recorded from the Ponderosa at the Paso Robles Event Center — nestled between In Bloom and Il Cortile — Adam sat down with a lineup of Paso’s most vibrant voices. In three stacked segments, we dive into what makes this festival weekend so special, and why Paso continues to punch above its weight in wine, food, and soul.
Segment 1 brings us
Nicole Haisma of In Bloom and
Nix Cellars,
Anthony Yount of Royal Nonesuch Farm, and a surprise drop-in from
Madeline Puckette of Wine Folly, fresh off leading her Paso 101 seminar.
Segment 2 turns up the heat with
Riley Roddick of Hubba Wines,
Maggie Tillman of Alta Colina, and
Maggie Cameron — the firestarter behind both The Hatch and
Della’s.
Segment 3 brings the closer with
Cris Cherry of Villa Creek / MAHA Estate,
Mary Ann Erdos of Cork & Cruise,
Kit Kuyper of Hawks Hill Ranch, and
Don Burns of Turtle Rock Vineyards — as they talk about their upcoming wine cruise to Portugal and Bordeaux (with two cabins left!).
Travel Paso Spotlight
We also meet
Jaydy Gonzales, co-owner of
Third Wheel Tours, offering one-of-a-kind motorcycle sidecar wine tours through the backroads of Paso — easily one of the coolest ways to sip, cruise, and experience wine country.
