In 2010, Radio Host Adam Montiel combined his longtime love for broadcasting with his, then, new love for wine. He created, produced and co-hosted, ‘The Cork Dorks’. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories.
As the area grew, soon the show covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with that award winning show, is reborn with 'The Pour', this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.

Paso Robles Distillery Trail Weekend is Here 8/7-9 | Tin City Distillery & Central Coast Distillery | The Pour
2026/08/05
Paso Robles may be famous for wine, but the region’s distilling scene is pouring just as much personality, creativity, and craft into the glass.
On this episode of The Pour with Adam Montiel, Patrick Brooks, co-owner and distiller at Tin City Distillery, and Eric Olson, owner and distiller at Central Coast Distillery, join Adam ahead of Paso Robles Distillery Trail Weekend, happening August 7 through 9, 2026. The conversation starts with cracked Long Drinks and three accidentally coordinated black T-shirts, then moves quickly into bourbon, agave, gin, brandy, cocktails, food, hospitality, and the realities of building small-batch spirits in a world increasingly crowded by major brands.
Patrick previews the Distillery Trail Weekend experience at Tin City Distillery, with live music, local food, special summer cocktails, and the kind of playful experimentation that has made the tasting room a destination. He also breaks down The Garden, a bright gin cocktail made with fresh lime and a cilantro, ginger, and serrano syrup, while Eric counters with Bourbon and Peaches, a glass of ripe fruit, maple, bitters, and bourbon that tastes like summer decided to stay out late.
At Central Coast Distillery, Eric is taking guests deeper into the process with bourbon and agave classes that explore mash bills, barrels, tasting glassware, roasting, fermentation, and the choices that determine what eventually lands in the glass. His distillery, founded with Anna Olson, is also home to the Forager spirits portfolio, produced in ultra-small batches with a strong culinary point of view.
Then the bottles open.
Eric tastes Patrick’s Chocolate Love and offers the kind of praise no marketing department could manufacture: he is genuinely irritated that he did not make it himself. What follows becomes the heart of the episode. These distillers may have different brands, different styles, and different approaches, but they understand that the larger Paso Robles spirits story only gets stronger when the makers support one another.
Adam, Patrick, and Eric also get into why California distilling benefits from fewer inherited rules, why tradition can be respected without becoming a creative cage, why agave may have a real agricultural future on the Central Coast, and why hospitality is ultimately what turns a tasting into an experience people want to repeat.
Distillery Trail Weekend is the invitation to pick your stops, meet the makers, taste something new, enjoy food and music, and experience the personality of each participating distillery. No ticket is required. The optional 2026 Copper Card adds one complimentary tasting at each participating distillery, access to select private tours, demonstrations, and events during the weekend, plus discounts at select locations. The card does not expire, so there is no need to race through the entire trail in one weekend.
The bottles are open. The Long Drinks are cracked. Let’s pour.

Years in the Making: Paso to the Danube! Epoch, LXV, and I Are Getting on a Boat & You're Invited!
Vine Voyage: Paso Meets the Rhône, Bordeaux, and Beyond with Cork & Cruise!
2025/06/18
On this episode of The Pour, Adam welcomes back a true architect of adventure, Mary Ann Erdos, founder of Cork & Cruise. If you think you’ve been on a wine trip before, think again. Mary Ann has created something completely different: immersive, intimate journeys where you don’t just taste the wine, you taste the place, the story, and the people behind the pour.
From their first Rhône adventure (where Adam joined as a guest), to this summer’s highly anticipated Bordeaux cruise, and already booking fast for Portugal 2026 (with Turtle Rock, Hawks Hill, & Villa Creek), Mary Ann shares how these trips come together, why winemakers keep signing up for more, and what makes guests feel like they’re part of something once in a lifetime.
We dive deep into what sets these experiences apart from truffle hunting in France to seven-course pairing dinners at sea and how Mary Ann obsesses over every detail, from the wine to the swag. Plus: her top travel tips, her jet lag hacks, and the moment she knew this wild idea could actually work.
Don't just travel. Travel well. Travel with wine. Travel with Cork & Cruise.

It's Glow Time: Bruce Lit the Hills. Nainita Scored the Sky - Sensorio's Newest Awe...FOSO!
2025/04/20
There’s immersive art… and then there’s FOSO — the Fiber Optic Symphonic Orchestra now glowing at Sensorio in Paso Robles. In this episode of The Pour, Adam goes behind the glow with two world-class creators: internationally acclaimed light artist Bruce Munro, and Emmy-winning composer Nainita Desai.
This is the first time Bruce has created a piece where light is fully synchronized to an original orchestral score. And Nainita? She didn’t write this music for film or screen — she composed it for a landscape. For movement. For light.

From Justin to Just Crushing It: Debby Baldwin’s Hustle, Life Lessons, and Bold Moves
2025/03/27
The Pour with Adam Montiel is Recorded Live at The Timbre LoBroStudios, thanks to Timbre Winery.
On this episode of The Pour with Adam Montiel, Adam sits down with Debby Baldwin Mann, a true pioneer of Paso Robles wine country. Debby co-founded Justin Winery as well as channeled her innovative spirit into creating two standout destinations: Paso Market Walk and Coast Village Walk in Montecito.
Paso Market Walk is a vibrant gathering spot on Spring Street between 19th and 20th, showcasing the very best of local flavor and craftsmanship. The market offers a thoughtfully curated mix of artisanal food vendors, boutique shops, restaurants, and locally sourced goods, all housed within a beautifully designed space that embodies the charm and spirit of Paso Robles. Both locals and visitors, as well as those in the industry, can enjoy a unique experience here - from gourmet treats and handmade products to comfortable, high-end accommodations - while savoring the region’s renowned hospitality and warm sense of community.
In this candid conversation, Debby reflects on her experiences navigating the early days of Paso’s wine scene, the monumental sale of Justin Winery, and the personal and professional transitions (and headlines) that followed. She also opens up about the lessons she’s learned from her health challenges and how those experiences have reshaped her perspective on life, community, and success. Packed with insightful stories, humor, and heartfelt wisdom, this episode celebrates the life and legacy of a woman who has profoundly shaped her community, the industry, and those around her.

Ponce Upon a Time: Booker Transforms Tasting Room into Full Service Restaurant for 1 Night.
2025/03/08
On this episode of The Pour with Adam Montiel we chat with none other than Chef Rachel Ponce. Known for her inventive, high-energy cooking, Rachel is teaming up with Micah Park, Booker’s hospitality and events guru, to create a one-of-a-kind wine and food experience.
For one night only, Booker Vineyard is turning their tasting room into a full-service restaurant, and the talent behind the menu?
Happening March 22nd, this isn’t your typical winemaker dinner. No long communal tables, no preset pours—just an intimate, restaurant-style service where guests can enjoy a five-course, wine-paired menu at their own pace. From the mind-blowing ‘Lick Your Plate’ amuse-bouche to a deconstructed Beef Wellington, every dish is designed to elevate Booker’s wines and surprise the senses.
In this episode of The Pour, we dig into how this event came to life, the vision behind transforming a tasting room into a restaurant, and the creative process that makes Rachel’s food so unforgettable. Plus, we get into wine and food trends, behind-the-scenes kitchen chaos, and what it takes to execute a high-level dining experience in a non-traditional space.
Reserve your seat before it sells out!Event Link: Booker Vineyard Exclusive DinnerBooker Vineyard Website: www.bookervineyard.comPair With Chef Rachel Website: www.pairwithchefrachel.comChef Rachel’s Instagram: @pair_with_chef_rachel

Live from the floor of the 25th Anniversary of World Pinot Noir w/ Dan Kosta (DK Wine Group), Bernard & Jeremy Retornaz (Louis Latour) #CruTangClan
2025/03/01
On this episode of The Pour with Adam Montiel, we’re coming to you straight from the 25th Anniversary of the World of Pinot Noir at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara—where the pours are deep, the wines are rare, and the conversations go where no tasting notes can take you.
This one’s stacked:
Dan Kosta—a legend in Pinot Noir—joins The Pour for the first time to break down his next chapter. Why launch three new wine brands instead of one? What has he learned since selling Kosta Browne? And how do Admire, Convene, and DK Grail each tell a different story in the glass?
Bernard Retornaz—the Burgundy insider who always brings the heat—talks Grand Cru vs. California, how climate is shifting the game, and why he keeps smuggling Chardonnay into World of Pinot Noir.
Jeremy Retornaz, a Pour veteran, is flipping the script with Onirique Cider—his first-ever cider label. Normandy meets Sebastopol in a way that might just change how you see apples forever.
No scripted PR talk. No filler. Just winemakers, pioneers, and a few bottles you’ll wish you had in front of you.

About ‘The Pour with Adam Montiel’:
In 2010, Radio Host Adam Montiel combined his longtime love for broadcasting with his, then, new love for wine. He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks’. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy West. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories.
As the area’s producer’s grew, soon Adam’s interview’s covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone.

Uncorking Sideways' Endless Influence with Mira Advani Honeycutt & Kirk Honeycutt
2025/02/13
Few films have left an imprint on the wine world like Sideways. Two decades later, its influence still ripples through vineyards and tasting rooms, shaping how we talk about Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the culture of wine itself. But how did a single movie change an entire industry?
In this episode, Adam sits down with Mira Advani Honeycutt, a respected wine journalist, and Kirk Honeycutt, a renowned film critic, to discuss their new book Sideways Uncorked: The Perfect Pairing of Film and Wine. Together, they explore the unexpected, lasting impact of Sideways, featuring insights from director Alexander Payne, key industry figures, and winemakers.
Also joining the conversation is Josh Klapper, owner and winemaker of Timbre Winery in San Luis Obispo, where this episode was recorded. As a winemaker deeply connected to the Pinot movement, Josh offers firsthand perspective on how Sideways changed the game.
From behind-the-scenes stories to the lingering Sideways effect on wine culture, this conversation uncorks it all.

When Big Wine, Gets Big Mad. Adam Lee Stands Up to Constellation and Joins The Pour.
2024/10/16
In this episode of The Pour with Adam Montiel, we explore two fascinating wine stories centered on transparency and creativity. Adam Lee was best known as the founder of Siduri Wines, where he became one of California’s leading voices in Pinot Noir. Since then though, he’s continued to innovate, launching Clarice Wine Company and collaborating with the late Philippe Cambie on Beau Marchais, producing wines that have earned critical acclaim. Adam recently made headlines by openly comparing the sugar content of his Pinot Noir, DIal Tone, to that of a bestselling wine, MEIOMI, sparking a conversation about what’s really in the glass, and why Constellation is big mad over the number 32.
For more on this story, you can check out the article in the San Francisco Chronicle: Meiomi Pinot Noir Sugar Controversy (note: there may be a paywall). Alternatively, you can read the coverage from the Press Democrat:Local winemaker in hot water after challenging massive American wine brand.
Later in the episode, Meghan Ball introduces Harvest Speed Tastings, an event designed to add a high-energy twist to wine tasting in Paso Robles. Joining Meghan is Connor McMahon, owner and winemaker of Full Draw Vineyards, who shares his perspective on the event and the unique way it connects wine lovers with Paso's diverse offerings.
