<h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>🍇</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Where Wine Takes You – Episode 158: </span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode celebrates two people who define what Paso Robles is all about — </span><b>Brian and Stephy Terrizzi</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, this year’s </span><b>Paso Wine Industry Persons of the Year</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian and Stephy are the powerhouse duo behind</span><a href="https://pasowine.com/member/giornata/"> <b>Giornata Wines</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and</span><a href="https://ettopastificio.com"> <b>Etto Pastificio</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, both based in Paso’s </span><b>Tin City</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Together, they’ve blended Old World Italian sensibility with the creative pulse of Paso — crafting wines that rival the best of Italy and pasta that’s become a staple from local kitchens to Michelin-level restaurants.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We talk about their path from </span><b>Fresno State</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to </span><b>Italy</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, how they built two thriving brands rooted in authenticity, and how they’ve made community impact part of their business — including thousands of pasta meals donated to local schools.</span></span></p>
