🍇 Where Wine Takes You - Episode Highlights 🍷
Big moves at ONX Wines. This week, we’re talking about the launch of Kiler Canyon Vineyard - a bold new brand carved from one of Paso’s most exciting sites.
Joining Adam Montiel in the studio:
Jeff Strekas, Director of Operations & Winegrowing
Drew Nenow, Winemaker at ONX
What makes Kiler Canyon’s wines different? Why give a vineyard its own label? And what happens when you give a legendary site the spotlight it deserves?

🌴 Travel Paso Spotlight
Restaurateur Maggie Cameron has reshaped Paso’s dining game — not once, but twice.
At The Hatch, it’s wood-fired everything, killer cocktails, and vibe for days.
At Della’s, it’s Southern Italian with California roots — fresh, fun, and Paso as hell.
The kind of places that make you linger. And make Paso’s food scene impossible to ignore.
