In this special episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, we’re joined by Ryker Wall, a passionate local winemaker behind three distinct Paso Robles-based wine brands — Cordant Winery, Idola Wine Co., and Misty Oaks.

This marks our very first wine tasting on the show, and Ryker came prepared with bottles from each of his projects. Every pour was smooth, thoughtful, and easy to drink — perfect for both casual wine lovers and serious sippers alike.

Cordant Winery is known for its elegant Pinot Noirs and Rhône-style blends, crafted with fruit sourced from some of the Central Coast’s top vineyard sites. Opening soon, a tasting room in downtown Paso Robles on 12th Street, near Hotel Piccolo — definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

During the episode, Ryker shares the differences and similarities between the three labels, the winemaking philosophy that drives each one, and his journey as a winemaker here in Paso.
