    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.Link:Bruce Munro – brucemunro.co.uk Nainita Desai – nainitadesai.com Sensorio – Paso Robles – sensoriopaso.com FOSO – Fiber Optic Symphonic Orchestra -Now open at Sensorio in Paso RoblesTickets & InfoListen to the FOSO Score by Nainita DesaiSponsored by:Tin City Distillery: Join the Private Barrel Club and craft your own custom whiskey.

    Mar 27 2025
    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.Find Debby Baldwin Mann online:Website: pasomarketwalk.comInstagram: @pasomarketwalk*****Tin City Distillery: Join the Private Barrel Club and craft your own custom whiskey.

    Jan 23 2025

    In this episode of The Pour with Adam Montiel, Adam welcomes Michael C. Higgins, PhD—award-winning author, photographer, and storyteller who’s charting the lesser-known corners of the wine world. Michael’s latest book, Exploring Wine Regions – México, brings the spotlight to Mexico’s hidden wine gems. From the powerhouse reds of Valle de Guadalupe to the high-altitude treasures of Guanajuato and the sparkling surprises of Querétaro, this conversation showcases a side of Mexico you didn’t see coming.

    Michael doesn’t just share his adventures south of the border—he reflects on his love affair with the Central Coast, the subject of one of his earlier books.

    Thanks to Timbre Winery for allowing us to record this episode of The Pour.
