Ep 101: Part 2 The OGs of Paso – Gary Eberle & Tobin James

🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 Part 2 of our 100th episode of “Where Wine Takes You,” a milestone celebration that takes us deep into the heart of Paso Robles wine country. In this special edition, host Adam Montiel is joined by two of the region’s legendary figures, Tobin James and Gary Eberle. Recorded in the captivating caves of Eberle Winery, this episode is not just a look back at the fascinating stories and significant moments that have shaped Paso Robles into a premier wine destination but also a tasting of a very rare vintage—a wine made collaboratively by Toby and Gary in the early days of their careers. It’s a fitting way to celebrate the 100th episode, bringing together voices that have not only witnessed but also steered the evolution of Paso Robles wine.   In our “Travel Paso Spotlight,” we chat with KImberly Walker, of Nomada. They are behind some of the central coast’s sexiest and most comfortable accommodations from Los Alamos (Skyview), to Paso (The Farmhouse Inn). They are about to debut their newest property years in the making May 15. Introducing, River Lodge Paso.
