  • Teleporting to Paso

    My wife and I discovered Paso almost on accident in early 2022. We left vowing to come back again. We only just started listening to Where Wine Takes You in 2025. However, I became captivated by the way Adam transports you to Paso Robles each time. This is not just a podcast about wine, it’s about the teams behind the wines, the regions, and most of all the community which is the canvas upon which the wine grown here is displayed. Each time I listen, I am transported back to the simplistic beaut... more

  • It’s the stories

    Adam deftly steers the interviewees to talk about themselves and the stories that brought them to Paso and the world of wine. There’s no sense of it being a sales pitch disguised as a podcast—it’s just great stories with unexpected twists, like real humans have. How many interview pods do you know that are consistently funny, compelling, and above all, human? Bravo, Adam.
