🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷

This one’s not recorded in studio… or even in Paso. It’s recorded on a riverboat in Bordeaux, France – but don’t let the setting fool you. The soul of this episode is 100% Paso Robles.

I sat down with two of the most influential winemakers in our region: Eric Jensen of Booker Wines and Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure Winery. Stephan left Bordeaux to escape the rules. Eric? He never followed them to begin with. Together, they’ve shaped not just vineyards, but a movement, redefining what’s possible in Paso and proving you don’t need permission to make great wine, just vision.

We talk legacy, freedom, and what it feels like to sip wine in the place one of them left, and both outgrew.

Plus: I catch up with Stacie Jacob of Travel Paso on how Paso wine is showing up in a major way in LA this summer, turning casual sippers into true believers. Let’s go. This… is Where Wine Takes You.
