Where Wine Takes You - Episode Highlights



Today we are talking about fresh pours in newer tasting room finds in Paso Wine County. We  meet two great winemakers repping their own brands today that are unique, but share some really interesting paths and experiences, and are both really worth checking out. 



We tape the show at Cairjn Wine Cellars. They are on Paso’s east side and have an industrial chic, and comfortable vibe with amazing wines produced by Andy Neja. He and his wife run the brand and offer tastings by appointment.



Joining Andy and I is Brian Farrell Jr., winemaker of Caelesta. Their tasting room is located on their estate where they farm vineyards for their brand, and grow for others as well. They also have a unique truffle experience they offer that I’m not sure you can do anywhere else. You can go on truffle hunts on their estate and find your very own truffles.
