    Ep 142: From Paso Robles Wine Fanatics to Family Legacies
    Aug 25 2025
    🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, Adam Montiel brings together two voices that showcase the heart and soul of Paso Robles wine country in very different ways. First, Mike Adams, the founder of the Facebook group Paso Robles Wine Fanatics, joins the conversation. What started as a small place to swap tasting notes has grown into a digital community of nearly 25,000 members who share their Paso bottles, adventures, and recommendations every day. Also in studio is Josh Beckett, a name synonymous with Paso. His family launched Peachy Canyon back in the 1980s, he and his brother created Chronic Cellars, and now with his wife Gibsy, Josh is crafting estate wines at Thibido. Most recently, the couple took over one of Paso’s heritage brands, Ecluse Winery, continuing a story of legacy and reinvention that reflects Paso itself. Later in the show, our Travel Paso Spotlight shines on the Whale Rock Music & Arts Festival. Adam chats with Luke Udsen of Castoro Cellars about how this annual September celebration has grown into one of Paso’s most beloved events, blending music, art, food, wine, and community in a way only Paso can. In this week’s Paso Wine Wire, Adam shares some of the latest headlines from around the region: Tobin James Cellars – 30th Annual James Gang Festival March 20–21, 2026 — a milestone weekend of live music, dancing, Tobin James wines, barrel samples, and food from more than 20 chefs, all under 30,000 square feet of tented space. Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance Foundation Awards $18,000 in Scholarships Twelve local high school seniors received scholarships funded through the Paso Wine Virtual Auction, which returns September 15–20, 2025. LXV Wine + Ulloa Cellars Named to Wine Enthusiast’s Future 40 Neeta & Kunal Mittal of LXV and Nancy Gonzales of Ulloa Cellars were recognized among innovators shaping the future of wine in America. Stay tuned for a full episode featuring these Paso tastemakers. Whether it’s online communities, family wineries, or festivals that bring thousands together, this episode is all about connection — and how Paso keeps finding new ways to share its story.

    Ep 141: From Bordeaux to Paso & Back – Featuring Stephan Asseo (L’Aventure) + Eric Jensen (Booker) Live with Audience in Bordeaux
    Aug 16 2025
    🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 This one’s not recorded in studio… or even in Paso. It’s recorded on a riverboat in Bordeaux, France - but don’t let the setting fool you. The soul of this episode is 100% Paso Robles. I sat down with two of the most influential winemakers in our region: Eric Jensen of Booker Wines and Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure Winery. Stephan left Bordeaux to escape the rules. Eric? He never followed them to begin with. Together, they’ve shaped not just vineyards, but a movement, redefining what’s possible in Paso and proving you don’t need permission to make great wine, just vision. We talk legacy, freedom, and what it feels like to sip wine in the place one of them left, and both outgrew. Plus: I catch up with Stacie Jacob of Travel Paso on how Paso wine is showing up in a major way in LA this summer, turning casual sippers into true believers. Let’s go. This… is Where Wine Takes You. 🎙️ GUESTS: Eric Jensen, Founder – Booker Wines Stephan Asseo, Founder – L’Aventure Winery Stacie Jacob, Executive Director – Travel Paso 🔗 RESOURCES & MENTIONS: Cork & Cruise – Paso River Cruise Info https://www.corkandcruise.com Paso in LA – Farmers Market Pop-up Series https://www.travelpaso.com/articles/post/paso-robles-invites-you-to-experience-a-taste-of-wine-country-in-the-heart-of-los-angeles/ Hope Family Wines acquires Tufera Farms https://pasoroblesdailynews.com/hope-family-wines-adds-vineyard-and-truffle-orchard-in-paso-robles/213536/ Gifford Fire + Ancient Peaks community response https://www.sfgate.com/centralcalifornia/article/megafire-san-luis-obispo-county-20813014.php 🎯 Plan your next Paso Robles getaway at TravelPaso.com 🎧 Subscribe & Follow If you love Where Wine Takes You, make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your favorite wine lover.
