  • 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.
