Description
🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode 158:
This episode celebrates two people who define what Paso Robles is all about — Brian and Stephy Terrizzi, this year’s Paso Wine Industry Persons of the Year.
Brian and Stephy are the powerhouse duo behind Giornata Wines and Etto Pastificio, both based in Paso’s Tin City. Together, they’ve blended Old World Italian sensibility with the creative pulse of Paso — crafting wines that rival the best of Italy and pasta that’s become a staple from local kitchens to Michelin-level restaurants.
We talk about their path from Fresno State to Italy, how they built two thriving brands rooted in authenticity, and how they’ve made community impact part of their business — including thousands of pasta meals donated to local schools.
