Where Wine Takes You - A Paso Wine Podcast

🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷

In this sparkling New Year’s episode, host Adam Montiel rings in 2025 with two incredible winemakers who bring the bubbles and Bordeaux brilliance to Paso Robles. Sherri Holzer of Rava Wines shares the story behind Paso’s first sparkling wine-focused winery, crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise. We delve into their diverse lineup, sustainable practices, and the magic of bubbles that make every occasion unforgettable. Doug Hidinger of Paris Valley Road Estate Winery brings us a taste of Bordeaux-inspired elegance, blending Old World tradition with the vibrant terroir of Paso Robles. Doug shares his journey from Cal Poly to winemaking stardom, his passion for curated events, and how Paris Valley Road creates wines that embody Paso’s distinctive style.

Later, in the Travel Paso Spotlight, Adam highlights the must-attend New Year’s Eve Bonfire Celebration in downtown Paso Robles. Featuring live music from the Lucky Devils Band, local food and drinks, and a 9:00 pm East Coast countdown, this free, family-friendly event benefits the Paso Robles Professional Firefighters Local 4148 and the Paso Robles Police Officers Association. Adam, the evening’s emcee, gives you an insider’s look at the excitement, charm, and community spirit of this unforgettable celebration.
