🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode 159 

We’re kicking off a brand-new Where Wine Takes You series spotlighting the 11 nested-AVAs of Paso Robles, and first up: the iconic, elevated, ‘limestone’-rich Adelaida District.

Host Adam Montiel is joined by:

• Dave & Antonia Carpenter – Founders of Ciento Cellars, a bold, family-run label rooted in the hills of Adelaida
• Aram Deirmenjian – Co-owner of Kiamie Wine Cellars, known for killer blends sourced from top growers like Halter Ranch and Glunz

Together, they talk terroir, winemaking dreams, and what makes this high-elevation zone truly one-of-a-kind.
