Adam deftly steers the interviewees to talk about themselves and the stories that brought them to Paso and the world of wine. There’s no sense of it being a sales pitch disguised as a podcast—it’s just great stories with unexpected twists, like real humans have. How many interview pods do you know that are consistently funny, compelling, and above all, human? Bravo, Adam.

I’ve been obsessed with Paso wines for about 2 years now. I’ve been listing to WWTY for about the same. I always get a smile on my face as Adam interviews his guests. His positivity and enthusiasm are infectious. He also has an in depth knowledge of the area, the community, and the wine scene. I finally made it to Paso recently with a fellow wine lover and it was everything Adam talks about. The friendliness, kindness, generosity and welcoming spirit are absolutely real. We even got a chance to meet Adam in person along with a few of our favorite winemakers. Can’t say enough about this man or this place. Thanks for doing what you do Adam! Truly awesome.

I have listened to almost every episode and multiple more than once. Adam is truly talented and does such a wonderful job of making these feel like a conversation amongst friends. This podcast is a big reason I recently traveled to Paso. I have learned so much and can’t recommend it enough. THANK YOU Adam and Joel.

I’m now a Paso Robles local and can fully endorse Adam’s take on the wine region here. It’s a terrific primer for anyone who wants to learn more about Paso wine and get get tips on how best to visit this area.

For someone like me who is obsessed with wines from Paso Robles this is a great way to spend an hour. Learn about winemaking in Paso, get great insights into the wines I enjoy so much, and get to, virtually, meet some winemakers I admire so much.

Adam does a fantastic job bringing the listener into the world of Paso wine and the overall Paso experience. I live in NY and have been to Paso twice. I await each podcast to learn of new wines and new potential experiences. It’s so fun to listen to the winery owners, winemakers and others in the industry that make this such an enjoyable world to explore. Keep ‘em coming Adam. Great job!

Super awesome podcast that highlights the key aspects of both the community and relationships that make Paso Robles what is it today. Every time I listen I learn something new about the beautiful area we live in, and also something new about wine! I am always stoked to hear which amazing wines will be showcased in the episode, and how passionate the even more amazing the people are! Beck_townsend

This is such a great and easy to listen to podcast. Adam is charismatic and keeps things light and fun. I’ve traveled to Paso once and about to travel again and this podcast is one of the reasons why. Keep it up!@dct333

My husband and I have been listening to Adam for less than a year and we have fallen in love with not just Paso but Adam and his entertaining podcast. Adam is genuine when talking to guests and explaining all things wine. He’s made a huge impact on how we drink and travel now and we will be listening for many years to come!!

We love listening to Adam talk some inside baseball about the wine and food industry in Paso. I always refer to this Podcast when getting ready to visit Paso for suggestions on where to taste.

Just listened to the most recent episode of Where Wine Takes You. It was so enjoyable listening to the ladies talk about their Paso Robles experiences and creating their own roads into the Paso Robles wine country. From very humble start to keeping up the grind to success. As a latino myself it added another layer of enjoyment hearing these stories. I now have to visit Top Winery and the Alchemist Garden on my next trip. Thank you Adam for having great guest and the best wine podcast! @dodgerfan1055

One of the best podcasts all around but a must for anyone visiting Paso Robles. We come twice a year for club pick up. We plan the other places to visit based on the interviews from this podcast. It gives great information and Adam is very engaging and enrolling. @avatarawines

My favorite wine podcast all about my favorite wine region! Fantastic guests and Adam knows the food and wine scene of Paso like no other. Keep up the great work. Cheers! @richquirk.

With so many podcasts out there, I decided to keep it local and start listening in to this podcast. I was born and raised in Paso Robles and this podcast definitely makes me feel like I’m listening to a neighbor. Keep it up Adam! @realmiguelnunez

Paso has so much to offer, I don’t even know where to begin. I find myself listening to this podcast and pausing constantly to earmark places to visit in the future (with all the insider tips). Love it! @lowebobb

This podcast makes me want to visit Paso every weekend. I love the stories and want to visit all the wineries and try all the wines! Thank you team!! Hugs mecorr

Being in the wine industry, I thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast! It keeps me company on my drive to and from the vineyard. Adam is a quintessential part of SLO county and is a string that connects walks of all life. I find myself referencing many conversations heard on this podcast to guests who come to taste. Never 👏 a👏 dull 👏 moment👏 -@lkudlah on Instagram

I started listening to this podcast before a trip to Paso, and it made my trip so much better! So many people working in the tasting rooms we visited knew about this podcast too, and we marveled at Adam’s ability to ask all the right questions for those of us still learning about wine even though it is clear that he has great knowledge. Hopefully Ella’s will make it onto a future show, since we loved our visit there! Keep up the great work!

A big shout out to Adam for hosting such a fantastic podcast! I have a learned so much about wine and the local Paso wineries/wine makers. I visit Paso often and Adam has provided so many great talking points for my winery visits. He’s a real talent when it comes to interviews! It makes the winery experience so much more enjoyable when you know their stories. I look forward to learning more, thanks Adam!

I love the personal conversations and wonderful insights that emerge in these podcast episodes. Extremely engaging.

Adam makes me feel like I am in the tasting room with a group of friends. After every episode, I tell my husband, I want to go there!! Living locally makes that a possibility ❤️🍷

Adam does a great job bring the personalities and vibe of Paso to listeners. Listening to this podcast has really helped me better understand the amazing creativity that is being exhibited by Paso wine makers. This podcast is about much more than wine. It is about amazing people who are all working together to make Paso the next great wine region.

What a great show! The winemakers of Paso so special! Full of hutzpah, charisma, deep knowledge, and endless passion. Adam is crazy fun and a master interviewer, equality at ease with the greats and upandcomers, showcasing each in their unique light. Bravo! So look forward to each episode. If you like wine, Paso, and great personalities, do yourself and favor and treat yourself to this delicious brew!

Love this podcast. Great way to learn about Paso and what makes it so special. Love Adam’s interview style and overall knowledge on the subject. Fantastic array of guests.

We are looking forward to our first visit to Paso Robles in a couple of weeks from upstate NY. I stumbled upon this podcast while researching Paso and its wineries. What a great podcast! Adam is terrific and such a supporter of the community. I’ve learned so much about the town, the wineries, the food, the culture and the people. We can’t wait to get there!

As a frequent visitor to Paso and a fan of the “ wine experience “ there this podcast does a fantastic job of taking us behind the scenes with the people and places who make it great. Wonderful substance and style.

I am a huge J. Lohr fan. It was so cool to learn so much about Jerry Lohr’s vision and how the company operates. A drive through Paso is sublime.

This is hands down my favorite podcast to enjoy and can revisit old episodes again and again. You can tell Adam loves his job and makes you want to visit every winery he has on the show.

I am so hooked on this podcast. Adam’s approach and delivery make it so easy to feel like we are there in the room with him and his guests. And listening makes me feel like I’m getting insider info on the Paso wine industry and I want so badly to go try every winery in Paso. I’ve been to many over the years, but not nearly enough. Can’t get enough of this podcast. I’ve listened to every episode at least twice. Thanks for a great product Adam. Keep ‘em coming.

Paso is one of our favorite wine destinations and I love hearing about and keeping up to date with news and latest happening in this area. So much more to explore and I dont get to travel here enough! I literally just returned from the store and bought my first J Lohr wine after listening to Steven Peck talk about their wines and philosophy and am excited to try it!! Keep bringing all the good news about wine in the Paso area Adam!

Where Wine Takes You is absolutely my favorite podcast! Started listening on a road trip up to Paso last year. Love to hear real conversations with winemakers and to learn about all aspects of winemaking. Been making my list of where wine will take me on my next trip to Paso based on this podcast. Adam Montiel is a great host and his passion for wine comes through in every episode. Just seems like a genuinely great person!

Great podcast! Adam has abundant knowledge on the Paso wine industry and I have learned so much by listening. Wine has taken me on an adventure that I didn’t see coming and Adam has been a big part of that! A must listen for all wine people!

While researching things to do on our upcoming road-trip, I came across this podcast. I listened to episode 2 where Adam talks with Gary Eberle and Jordan Fiorentini . I was immediately hooked by the information, the passion for Paso and its people, and the great stories. I cannot wait to visit Paso Robles taste the wines Adam and his guests have taught me about, and enjoy some of the great restaurants! Thanks Adam!!

I absolutely love this podcast about my favorite wine region!

My husband and I love this podcast! Adam does an amazing job truly making you feel connected to the Paso wine community. We go to Paso about every month or every few months and just this pst Saturday listened to the podcast that highlighted the Paso Robles Wine Merchant and Finca. We were so excited to visit both and felt like we knew so much before we got there! Loved our meal at Finca and the wine selection at Paso Wine Merchants was wonderful! We also loved our tasting at Desparada which we learned about on another one of Adam’s episodes! Thank you so much for such an enjoyable listen!

Canceling my trip to Napa this spring to go explore Paso

There nobody that does it like Adam. This podcast is so much fun and so full of life and knowledge. Pop a bottle and get down!

Will be visiting Paso in March for the second time and this show lets me hear from the wine makers chefs etc that make Paso such a dynamic place..each episode I learn so much about the different grapes..Adam is a wonderful hosts and the people he talks to all seem like such genuine and friendly people..keep up the good work can’t wait to get to Paso!

Great wines, great people, great glisten.

Absolutely love this pod. Adam does a great job bringing Paso to life in audio. I’ve learned so much listening and super stoked on the new clubs we joined after hearing a story on this pod and checking out their wine. Keep ‘em coming!

Hi Adam, I just found out about your show a week ago and I’m on episode 13 now. As always, you just ROCK! You do a great job and I love hearing everyone’s story and how they got into this incredible business. Thank you for highlighting Paso Robles. Ever since I came down here I have been amazed by the great wines and diversity in our growing region. I can’t wait for the next show. Cheers, Jac Jacobs

Paso is a special place and Adam does an amazing job sharing the stories of the people behind Paso Wine. As a local industry member and 4th generation local, I really enjoy hearing more from my friends and colleagues in the industry. Cheers!

So much fantastic information and insight! I just discovered Where Wine Takes You in the past few days. I have already binged my way through Episodes 26, 27, 28 (both parts), 30, 31 and 33. Fabulous stuff! (BTW... What happened to Episode 29?) We are traveling to Paso in a few weeks. We are definitely going to reach out to some of the folks Adam interviewed. We will be tasting with Nenow Family (Episode 31) and have tasted with Orion Stang (as he described, at his house). We will also be tasting at Sixmilebridge (Episode 28) and hopefully we get to revisit Stanley and Elena at TOP (Episode 12). We have memberships at many of the folks who have been guests on the show and I can't wait to listen to the interviews with people we actually know! Adam - I have listened to other wine podcasts. Yours is by far the most approachable and the most engaging! I suppose part of that is because I have met, and in some cases actually know, some of the guests you interview. It just makes your podcast and those people so much more real, more authentic. So glad we are headed back to Paso soon! FWIW... I too LOVE that Porter Creek carignane! (Episode 28a, I think)

While Paso Robles is no longer CA’s best kept secret and it does still fly under the radar for so many visiting wine country. That’s ok by me as I hope it doesn’t become Napa or Sonoma. It’s such a delight hearing Adam’s friendly dialogue with Paso’s leaders in the wine, hospitality, and tourism trade and the vibe of the area just flows from every one of his guests. I enjoy listening and learning all those nuances that make Paso great and it’s been a fantastic primer for my wife and my vacation in Paso this week. This podcast may be the best kept secret. Keep slaying it Adam!

This is the only podcast I listen to regularly and well worth it! Great job by Adam getting us up close and personal to the winemakers in this beautiful region of Paso Robles. So far the episode with Stephan Asseo from L’aventure is my favorite. Even though I didn’t understand half of it haha. What a straight shooter, candid and open interview that was. Thanks Adam! Just added L’Aventure to my “wineries I must visit” in Paso Robles!

I just returned from my ‘bucket list – PCH Road Trip’, celebrating my retirement and 65th birthday, which included a detour to Paso Robles. Had I not discovered Adam and the WWTY podcast, I would have never even known about Paso. Listening to Adam and his guests…their knowledge, passion and pride for the area and the wine they are producing, led me to solely focus on PR as THE wine destination of my itinerary. As soon as I heard Bob and Maggie Tillman describing the ‘Summit Tasting’, Eric Jensen’s homage to ‘his favorite neighbor’, Justin Baldwin commitment to ‘lead not only for the sake of his brand, but for the sake of the area’ and Daniel Daou’s grit and determination, ‘not to chase the money…chase the passion’, I was on my way. Throw in Il Cortile, Les Petites Canailles and Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ, my trip was set! Thank you, Adam, for making my Cali journey so memorable. Without you and WWTY, I would have never had such a memorable experience, well beyond my expectations! I already long to return…in the meantime, I will continue to anxiously anticipate and enjoy your next episode!!! Cheers!

YES!! After visiting Paso in June for the first time from flyover St.Louis, we fell in love with everyone and everything about it. Discovered WWTY earlier this week and binging through 10 episodes so far having a total blast learning so much and virtually taking in the culture. Adam’s unique style and light hearted approach enables the guests to shine through brightly, and add tremendous colorful stories which capture why this place and its community is so special. Episode 9 Springsteen mash up was a brilliant stroke, don’t miss it, and keep up the great work!

This is my new podcast binge. Even as a new winery owner I find the content both educational and entertaining! For example from Cass I learned about code and construction tips on 8 bedroom hospitality, how they adapt to reservations etc. from Justin at Saxum, great insight on farming and grower relations. Neil’s salty stories! Great storytelling. Makes me want to crack open a bottle and join in.

Adam does a great job at capturing the essence of Paso Robles Wine Country.

Can't wait to get down to Paso to see where wine takes me! Easy to get lost in the show while listening to the silky smooth voice of host Adam Montiel. While listening I feel like I'm actually there! Cheers!
