    Jul 11 2025
    🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 Episode Title: Small Lot, Big Soul: Paso’s Newest, Best-Kept Secrets In this episode, we shine a spotlight on three Paso winemakers and vineyard owners who are putting everything into the bottle — and nothing into the hype. These are the small-lot producers who quietly shape what makes Paso Robles such a powerful, soulful, and personal wine region. You’ll meet: Eric Morley of Red Door Ranch Vineyards — alongside his wife Holly, Eric is building a boutique estate in the Templeton Gap focused on organic farming and site-driven wines with purpose. • Anthony Yount of Royal Nonesuch Farm and Kinero Cellars — Anthony and his wife Hillary farm their York Mountain estate by hand, crafting Rhône-style blends and crisp whites with depth and soul. • Paul “P‑Lo” Lopez of Lopai Cellars — a sixth-generation Paso farmer who makes powerful estate wines from Willow Creek fruit with his son Brian. They’re not chasing trends. They’re making wine on their own terms — with heart, hustle, and heritage. This is small-lot winemaking with big soul. This is Paso at its most personal. 📰 PASO WINE WIRE HIGHLIGHTS Paso Robles Named Among World's Smartest Wine Regions Tech, climate, and culture converge in this feature from The Buyer that puts Paso on a global innovation map. → Read the story J.

    🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 Today, we head out to the westside of Paso, to a stretch of Arbor Road that’s waking up in a whole new way. It’s a story about building something from scratch, betting on family, and crafting wines that are deeply personal. This episode features two Paso newcomers turning heads for all the right reasons. Cliff Cate of Zobèto Wines left his old life behind to create soulful Rhône-style blends on Paso’s westside, learning the ropes hands-on with some of the region’s most respected winemakers. Kyle Jury of Truss Wines brings an architect’s eye to his minimalist, design-forward wines, building his brand with intention, family, and structure at the core. Both are doing it their way on Arbor Road, and both are names to watch. 📰 Paso Wine Wire Highlights • Community Wine Awards – 2025 Winners Announced Master Marketer: Justin Rapolas (Aaron Wines) Unsung Hero: Ryan Kemp (Adelaida Cellars) Good Neighbors: Lars & Kristina (Toast Tours) Le Vigne Winery wins big — TWICE in a week!
