Join correspondent Tom Wilmer reporting from Paso Robles, California at the new luxury resort hotel, The AVA located in the heart of downtown.

Recent Graduates Reflect on How AI Is Reshaping Their Future Over the past few weeks, several college commencement speakers who praised artificial intelligence were booed by graduates. As these graduates  enter an uncertain job market, they're grappling not only with an unpredictable economy but also with the feeling that artificial intelligence is unstoppable. AI can impact whether or not you get your resume in front of a hiring manager or what career you decide to pursue. We hear from some recent California graduates and other students who talk about not whether  AI will impact them, but how.    As California's Wine Industry Struggles, Some Lodi Grape Growers Pivot to New Crops California produces 80% of all American wines. But most wine grapes aren't grown in places like Napa or Paso Robles. Most of them actually come from vineyards around one small city in San Joaquin County, Lodi. No matter where you are in Lodi, you're always less than a 10-minute drive from a vineyard, but it's no longer just the land of grapes. Orchards full of pistachios, almonds and olives are popping up all over the outskirts of Lodi. As Hannah Weaver reports, that's because new challenges in the wine industry are pushing grape growers to try other crops. For This Quartet of Fresno State Musicians, a Chance to Play in South Korea  Every summer, a prestigious international music festival highlights an instrument that may not always take center stage: the clarinet. Students from universities around the world are invited to perform at Clarinetfest, and this summer, for the first time ever, some of those students will be coming from Fresno State. KVPR's Samantha Rangel tells us how they came together to play, and what it means to represent the Central Valley.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Deborah J Brasket, author of the book This Sea Within. Deborah Brasket spent six years sailing around the world with her husband and children. When she returned home to the Central Coast, she taught English at Allan Hancock and Cuesta colleges before joining SBCAN.   After retirement, she settled among the golden hills and vineyards of Paso Robles to write the kinds of novels she loves to read. When Things Go Missing was published in September 2025. Her second novel This Sea Within will be published in June 2026.   In my book review, I stated This Sea Within is a political thriller by Deborah J Brasket. We quickly meet Lena, a young woman on the brink of discovering who she truly wants to be. However, her mother's absence, and Lena's anger on the subject, have gotten in the way. So, she decides to go to San Balanque, her mother's homeland, to figure out the parts of her she's missing. If only life were that simple.   Instead of a few simple lessons about her heritage, Lena soon learns of an underground revolution trying to overthrow the cruel dictator - and the activist in her wants to know more. When she meets Raoul, the leader of the rebel group known as the Aguileros, her world changes forever.   Will she be able to reconcile her pacifist leanings to the freedom fighter mentality needed to overthrow the government? Will her family's past taint her future as an Aguileros? Can she separate her feelings for Raoul from her feelings about the revolution?   This is an intense novel that doesn't hold back. You'll find yourself struggling along with Lena as you try to figure out where you stand - and where you should stand. This is a must-read!   Author Note: There is violence and sex scenes, but at no time did I feel they were gratuitous or out of line with the characters.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Deborah J Brasket Website: https://deborahjbrasket.com FB: @DeborahJBrasket IG: @dbrasket LinkedIn: @Deborah Brasket X: @DeborahBrasket   Purchase This Sea Within on Amazon: Ebook: https://amzn.to/4eF6aCS   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Moritz-Christian Brand, Jahrgang 1990, ist einer jener Sommeliers, bei dem man spürt, dass er die Weinwelt ein klein wenig langsamer und interessanter drehen lässt. Nach dieser Episode wirst Du den Wunsch entwickeln, mit ihm einen langen Abend zu verbringen – weil er Wein versteht, wie ein alter Territoriumsheld sein Land definiert: aus dem Bauch, mit echter Zuneigung, ohne daraus eine Predigt zu basteln. Das ist keine Lebensweise, die er abends in den Spind hängt. Das ist ein Handwerk, das man sich erkämpft, Station für Station, mit den Händen, mit dem Gaumen, mit jenem Sturschädel, den die Besten dieser Zunft alle besitzen. Seine Lehrjahre begann er im Relais & Châteaux Hotel Bayerisches Haus in Potsdam. Was folgte, war eine Dekade Sternegastronomie: Gourmetrestaurant Lerbach unter Dieter Müller, Restaurant Nils Henkel (zwei/drei Sterne) in Bergisch Gladbach, die MS Europa, dann München – stellvertretender Chefsommelier im Tantris, schließlich Chefsommelier im Restaurant Atelier des Hotel Bayerischer Hof, ebenfalls drei Sterne. 2017 übernahm er mit seiner Frau Julia das Hotel Stadt Kassel in Rinteln – ein Traditionshaus, das durch diese Übernahme in eine andere Liga trat. Das Restaurant Fachwerk wurde zum Beweis, dass Spitzenqualität keine Metropole braucht. Die Weinkarte wuchs auf über 1.500 Etiketten aus 14 Ländern. Die Branche reagierte: Der German Wine List Award 2022 (VINUM) kürte das Fachwerk zum Sieger in der Kategorie Gutbürgerliche Küche; VINUM vergab zusätzlich die „Weinkarte des Jahres 2022”. Ebenfalls 2022 folgte die Ehrung „Ausgezeichnetes Weinkonzept” durch VDP und Meininger Verlag – ein Preis, der an die Person gebunden ist, nicht ans Haus. Das Deutsche Weininstitut kürte das Fachwerk 2024 zum Sieger in der Kategorie „Gehobene Gastronomie”. Hinzu kommen der Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence und die Aufnahme in die Star Wine List – beide als einziges Haus Niedersachsens. Das Rolling Pin Magazin listete Brand regelmäßig unter den 50 besten Sommeliers Deutschlands; die Jeunes Restaurateurs Deutschland nahmen Julia und Moritz Brand 2024 als Mitglieder auf. Man könnte das einen Aufstieg nennen. Moritz würde sagen, das sei das Ergebnis davon, dass man die Arbeit richtig macht. Damit hätte er recht. Heute bringt er uns die Central Coast Kaliforniens – nicht Napa, nicht Sonoma. Eine topografisch zerrissene, klimatisch polarisierte Weinlandschaft, die Burgunder und Rhône-Sorten ebenso beherbergt wie Bordeaux-Varietäten, Küstennebel und Mittelmeerwärme auf 450 Kilometern vereint – und Geduld wie Präzision verlangt.

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 producers grew, soon Adam's interviews 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.  Here, We Taste It.

If Paso Robles isn't already on your must-visit list, this episode will change that. Maggie Tillman, co-owner of Alta Colina and self-described "co-first-generation" winery founder, joins us to dig into what makes Paso one of the most exciting — and most underrated — wine regions in the country right now. From why the east side vs. west side divide isn't quite as "divided" as you might think, to the magic of Tin City, we're giving you an all-access pass as to why Paso rewards the traveler who puts in the effort to get there. Plus, Maggie shares her personal list of wineries, restaurants, and not-to-miss experiences — including the outdoor art installation that simply cannot be captured on your phone (don't even try). Pour yourself a glass of the Peachy Canyon Zinfandel and let this episode and wine talk you into booking your trip. Featured Wine:  Peachy Canyon Zinfandel

Bob Tillman is a former electronics professional who launched Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery in 2003 on the steep, mountainous terrain of Paso Robles, California . Managing thirty-two acres of grapes, he has spent two decades transitioning from conventional methods to a biological approach centered on the natural resilience of his native ecosystem. He eliminated tillage in 2006 and moved away from synthetic inputs to rely on native ground cover and biological cycling . By utilizing total nutrition testing, he identifies vast mineral reserves already present in his soil and focuses on microbial health to make those nutrients available to the vines In this episode, John and Bob discuss: Tranisitiong to a completely no-till system after observing that native grasses were more effective and resilient than planted cover crops . How nutrition testing revealed that the soil contains enough potassium for over six hundred years and enough iron for millions of years of production . Utilizing AEA and sap analysis to identify specific micronutrient deficiencies and adjust nutrition throughout the growing season through foliar applications. Applying AEA products like CalGuard and Rebound Boron helps address seasonal trending deficiencies in calcium and boron levels . How the vineyard uses compost extracts and teas to inject biological activity directly into the soil through the irrigation system . High-density native plant populations providing ground cover that supports deep-rooted vines while maintaining high soil organic matter .

In this episode of the SLO County Real Estate Podcast, Team Sweasey is back in the saddle to break down the Q1 2026 market statistics and discuss why personal "life events" are currently driving real estate more than global uncertainty. We start with a trip down memory lane, sharing our most memorable spring break stories—ranging from tennis tournaments in Hawaii to late-night study sessions in Newport Beach. But once we get down to business, the data reveals a fascinating shift in the San Luis Obispo County market. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Q1 2026 Numbers: How the first quarter of 2026 compares to 2025, including a 6% increase in closed sales and a 10% drop in price reductions. The Luxury Shift: Why sales for homes over $1.5 million have dropped by 23%, and what that means for the average sale price in the county. Team Sweasey's Performance: How Hal and the team saw a 10-13% increase in closings and a 10% rise in average sale price, even as the broader market normalized. The "Frozen" Market: The reality of the interest rate "lock-in" effect—why homeowners with 3% rates are hesitant to trade for 6.5%, and what finally nudges them to move. Life Events vs. World Events: Why decisions to buy or sell are almost always driven by "life events" (marriage, retirement, death, or birth) rather than what's happening in the news. Local Hidden Gems: A look at the growth in Paso Robles and Nipomo, and how the price gaps are closing in areas like Los Osos, Arroyo Grande, and Oceano. Key Market Takeaway: While the market has "normalized" with longer days on market (now averaging between 30 to 45 days depending on the community), a well-priced home in SLO County is still likely to sell within a week or two. "Price, location, and condition. If those three are in line, your house isn't going to sit."

Jessica Yañez and her partner in crime Erika Sanchez are back with a full glass of wine and a whole month's worth of chisme to spill. From heartbreaking headlines hitting close to home, to Hollywood takeovers, to what happened at the Oscars, to the state of your wallet right now, the March Chisme episode covers the news, the nostalgia, and the nunca-ending commentary that lives rent-free in our heads. Erika came prepared. Jessica came with feelings. Together, they gave you everything. This one hit differently. Jessica and Erika unpack the New York Times five-year investigation revealing sexual abuse allegations against Cesar Chavez, including a statement from civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who says she was assaulted by him and that he fathered two of her children. The conversation goes deeper into the systemic silence women are expected to maintain "for the greater good," the question of how to separate a man from a movement, and why being down for a cause should never mean putting all your faith in one person. Jessica and Erika watched it so you'd know what to expect, and they had very strong reactions. This Louis Theroux documentary on Netflix explores online influencers redefining masculinity and their influence on young men. Erika wanted to turn it off. Jessica wanted to send the link to every young man she loves. Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for Sinners and the crowd's reaction said everything. Jessica and Erika talk about what makes him so different from the rest, including the detail work he put into playing three distinct characters, and the fact that after the ceremony he went to In-N-Out. Alone. Without an entourage. Taking pictures with fans. If you've been confused about who owns what in Hollywood right now, Jessica breaks it all the way down. From Viacom to Paramount to CBS, from Discovery tanking HBO Max to the Ellison family (Oracle money, Trump ties) acquiring Paramount through Skydance, and now going after Warner Brothers and CNN, the consolidation of media power is moving fast. The implications for diverse voices, independent journalism, and your streaming bill are real. They also talk about the Murdoch family documentary, why Succession was more literal than anyone realized, and how the media we consume is being shaped by a handful of very wealthy, very politically connected people. Week three of the conflict. The Strait of Hormuz is blocked, cargo ships can't move gas, and Jessica paid $65.50 to fill her tank at Costco. Erika called her mom crying. They talk about how presidents don't typically drive gas prices, but intentionally starting a war and bombing oil fields is a different story. And if you think groceries are expensive now, they say: just wait. Transportation costs go up, everything goes up. The math is not mathing. A viral video of a voter admitting she's voted for Trump three times and calling herself an idiot sparked a whole conversation about what it means to not care until something affects you personally. Jessica has Trump-supporting cousins she loves, and she is absolutely worried about what happens if they get pulled over by ICE. She is not holding back on this one. Jessica has been watching it. Erika has not (yet). They talk about the Kennedy mystique, why the Camelot era still holds such power, what it must have felt like for Carolyn Bessette to go from private person to one of the most famous women in the world overnight, and how the 90s paparazzi era made that kind of life nearly impossible. Also: Ryan Murphy said something messy to Jack Schlossberg (JFK's nephew, now running for a House seat in New York), and the girls are not impressed. The good news we needed. Gap's recent ad revival started as a quiet response to the Sidney Sweeney moment and has grown into something genuinely culturally relevant. The Young Miko campaign. The 90s nostalgia. The khaki swing ad. The Madonna x Missy Elliott "All About the Jeans" era. Jessica and Erika reminisced, agreed that Gap is doing something right, and acknowledged they are no longer the target demographic, but they felt it anyway. A month of a lot. Heavy and real and also sometimes really, really funny. That's the March Chisme energy. Thank you for being here for all of it.

The show OPEN... traveling alone... sports... the 1 Second Song game... and Alex from Paso Robles wins!

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today, I am honored to share an episode where the table has been turned on me.   I had the honor of being interviewed by Natalie MacLean. If you are unfamiliar with her, here is her self claimed biography: To fund her late-night vinous habits, Natalie MacLean holds down day jobs as a wine writer, speaker and judge. An accredited sommelier, she is a member of the National Capital Sommelier Guild, the Wine Writers Circle and several French wine societies with complicated and impressive names. Funny, brainy and unapologetically tipsy, her goal in life is to intimidate those crusty wine stewards at fine restaurants with her staggering knowledge. If you are a regular listener to this podcast, you know I got the opportunity to interview her also! If you missed it, please go back to episodes 253 and 254. I am not use to being on that side of the microphone, so I hope you enjoy!  While you are listening, please take a moment to rate and review Exploring the Wine Glass.
