<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;">🍇 Where Wine Takes You Episode Highlights 🍷</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;">In this episode, Adam heads just south of Paso Robles into Atascadero, a town that is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new pockets of the Central Coast wine scene.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adam sits down with </span><b>Ryan Kirkpatrick of Ruby Cellars</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>Marin Wolgamott of Marin’s Vineyard</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, two winemakers with very different paths but a shared belief in what Atascadero is becoming.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;">Ryan, born and raised in Atascadero, brings a family legacy forward while evolving Ruby Cellars into a more expressive, story-driven brand. His work spans Bordeaux blends, experimental wines, and a growing passion for dessert wines that continues to shape the winery’s future.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;">Marin, a rising winemaker and entrepreneur, is building something uniquely her own. From her aromatic Viognier-based pét-nat to a welcoming tasting room that reflects her personality and perspective, her approach is intentional, fresh, and deeply personal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;">Together, they represent a new wave of Paso-adjacent energy rooted in community, creativity, and a willingness to take risks.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later in the show, Adam connects with </span><b>David Morneau of Paso Robles Inn</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, diving into the transformation of this historic property. The conversation explores the reopening of </span><b>Cattlemen’s Bar</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the upcoming rooftop concept Salina, and a new restaurant called The Pass created in collaboration with Chef Charlie Palmer.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>🌐 PASO WINE WIRE (WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW)</b></span></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Calcareous Vineyard celebrates 25 years</b><b><br /> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">A major milestone for one of Paso’s iconic estates. The winery is marking the occasion with a renovated tasting room, elevated hospitality, and a full calendar of events throughout the year.
