Ep 122: Off the Vine, On the Line: How Great Design Moves Bottles – Featuring Kraftwerk Design 59:44

منذ 11 weeks59:44

59:44

🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode Highlights 🍷 In this episode of Where Wine Takes You , we’re pulling back the curtain on something you might not think about—but it’s the first thing you see when you pick up a bottle of wine: the label . A great wine label isn’t just about looking pretty—it’s storytelling, branding, and marketing all wrapped into one, and it can make or break a wine’s success. To explore this, Thomas Reiss , founder of Kraftwerk Design in San Luis Obispo, joins us. Thomas has worked with some of the most respected wineries, designing labels that don’t just catch your eye—they tell the winery’s story in an instant. From bold, modern aesthetics to timeless classics, we break down how wineries decide what face their bottle will wear and why it matters. We also highlight Paso’s vibrant community with our Travel Paso Spotlight , featuring Candice Custodio from At Her Table and Alexandra from The Alchemists’ Garden . They’re teaming up for a Fashion Show celebrating Women’s History Month —a perfect blend of style, community, and Paso vibes.

🍇 Where Wine Takes You - Episode Highlights 🍷 Heritage & Harvest In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, host Adam Montiel sits down with two winemakers whose international roots shape their unique approaches to the Paso Robles wine scene: Martin Croad of Croad Vineyards and Kevin Jussila of Kukkula Wines. Recorded live at Croad Vineyards, this episode dives into their respective journeys, blending heritage and harvest in the heart of wine country. Martin Croad, hailing from New Zealand, shares how his background influences his winemaking style at Croad Vineyards. With a focus on dry farming and bold varietals, Martin’s wines reflect the rugged yet rich landscape of Paso Robles, intertwined with his Kiwi heritage. Kevin Jussila, born in Finland, brings a different perspective with his dedication to Rhône-style blends at Kukkula Wines. His commitment to organic, dry-farmed practices has helped create wines that are a true expression of the land, and he discusses how his Finnish roots guide his craft in the heart of Paso’s Adelaida District. In the Travel Paso Spotlight, we feature Zoo to You, an exotic animal conservation group based in Paso Robles. Lisa Jackson talks about the amazing work they do with wildlife education and their unique offering of overnight stays surrounded by creatures like kangaroos, bald eagles, and more. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that brings conservation and adventure together.
