🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷   

In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, we dive into Cabernet Franc’s moment in the spotlight and how Paso Robles is shaping its future. Once considered just a blending grape, Cab Franc is proving it can stand on its own—with structure, depth, and a signature Paso character.

To break it all down, we’re joined by:

• Neeta Mittal, LXV Wines – A master of food & wine pairings who’s helping elevate Cab Franc’s versatility.
• Jude Radeski, GM of Adelaida Vineyard – A leader in high-elevation winemaking and site-driven Cab Franc expressions.

We also touch on CabFrancMasters, a one-day only event dedicated to celebrating this complex and elegant varietal.
