🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷
This week, we’re diving into the creative current flowing through Downtown Paso’s tasting rooms — and the two distinct winemakers who are helping define the vibe.

Joining Adam Montiel in the studio:

• Jason Bushong, owner & winemaker at Bushong Vintage Company

• Lauren Lange, winemaker at Sea Shell Cellars

   

We talk tasting room culture, downtown energy, and how wine can be as much about expression as it is terroir. Expect neon. Vinyl. Maybe some beach sand. And plenty of Paso magic.
