In today’s episode of Where Wine Takes You hosted by Adam Montiel, we explore the theme of “Napa Roots See Paso’s Promise,” shedding light on established Napa brands finding opportunity in Paso Robles. Jane Dunkley, winemaker for Bezel Wines and a member of the renowned Cakebread Wines family, brings a wealth of experience from across the globe, infusing her wines with the distinct character of the Central Coast. With a journey spanning from her native Australia to Portugal, Italy, and finally to California, Jane’s on-the-ground knowledge of Edna Valley and Paso Robles amplifies the dynamic flavors of Bezel Wines, enriching the region’s winemaking landscape.
Meanwhile, Katie Povah of Postmark Wines, rooted in Sonoma County’s wine culture, represents a new generation of winemakers drawn to the promise of Paso Robles.
