🎧Ep 179 Built by Hand, Blown by the Gap – Featuring Victor Hugo Winery | 915 Lincoln Wines
🍇 Where Wine Takes You, Episode Highlights 🍷 This week, we continue our journey through the eleven sub-AVAs of Paso Robles with a stop in the Templeton Gap District, where the Pacific gets a vote, the wind rarely takes the day off, and Paso’s natural power finds a little extra freshness, perfume, and lift. Joining Adam at SLO CAL Studios are two winemakers operating on very different timelines. Vic Roberts, owner, estate grower, and winemaker at Victor Hugo Winery, arrived in Paso Robles in 1982.

🎧The Wine Makers – Blood Of Gods Ep 2: The Angry Somm (Hayden Stewart) Wine Industry Anarchist
Hayden Stewart is a wine director, sommelier, and food & beverage consultant based in San Diego, California, with extensive experience across the wine industry — from vineyards and tasting rooms to large-scale events and private club beverage programs. He holds a WSET Level 3 certification and has worked in sales, distribution, fine dining, and education. Stewart created the @the_angry_somm Instagram account as a satirical, snarky take on the wine world. The persona is designed to highlight what he sees as pretentiousness, hollow buzzwords, and overhyped marketing in the industry. Through humor, irony, and sarcasm, he critiques trends like chasing “rarity, prestige, and heritage” without substance, and argues that popularity doesn’t equal quality. Hayden and his business partner Joe LoBue have started a new distribution company, Paragon Pacific Imports, to create a better way to communicate with small producers and buyers, reaching younger wine drinkers by meeting them where they are,
