Ep 139: In Good Company: When Unlikely Paths Share Ground, Become Neighbors – Featuring Mid•Point Cellars | Rockbound Cellars

🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷

Today’s episode explores The Bottle Shop, Paso Robles’ newest shared tasting room space that’s shaking up downtown with wine, food, and community all under one roof.

Adam sits down with two fresh faces to the Paso wine scene: Bill Lap, co-founder of mid•point, and Fiorella “Fio” DeRodeff, the founder and winemaker at Rockbound Cellars. They each bring a distinct voice, a different path, and a shared passion for building something meaningful.

This episode digs into the journey behind the wines, the rebirth of the historic Rotta property, and the importance of making wine that reflects who you are.

Stick around to the end for something wild, Bill opens the oldest bottle Adam has ever tasted / seen in his life. You won’t believe the vintage.
