🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷   

In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, Adam sits down with Scott Schramm, owner of Crush Vineyard, and Tyler Russell, his winemaker and a Paso veteran known for his no-nonsense, instinct-driven approach to crafting wines. Scott’s journey is anything but ordinary—coming from a successful career in the fashion industry, he made a bold leap into the world of winegrowing in Paso Robles. From learning the ropes to creating something truly special, Scott shares how a podcast episode (yes, this one!) played a role in his path to Crush Vineyard. Meanwhile, Tyler brings his deep knowledge and laid-back style to the conversation, making this a can’t-miss discussion about passion, reinvention, and damn good wine.

Plus, in our Travel Paso Spotlight, we’re jumping on two wheels and exploring Paso’s vineyards like never before with Jeff and Melissa from VineCycle Tours. If you’ve ever wanted to mix outdoor adventure with world-class wine, this is the experience for you.
