EP 158: Paso Wine Industry Persons of the Year – Brian & Stephy Terrizzi of Giornata & Etto Pastificio

🍇 Where Wine Takes You – Episode 158: This episode celebrates two people who define what Paso Robles is all about — Brian and Stephy Terrizzi , this year’s Paso Wine Industry Persons of the Year . Brian and Stephy are the powerhouse duo behind Giornata Wines and Etto Pastificio , both based in Paso’s Tin City . Together, they’ve blended Old World Italian sensibility with the creative pulse of Paso — crafting wines that rival the best of Italy and pasta that’s become a staple from local kitchens to Michelin-level restaurants. We talk about their path from Fresno State to Italy , how they built two thriving brands rooted in authenticity, and how they’ve made community impact part of their business — including thousands of pasta meals donated to local schools. 🍝 FEATURED GUESTS Brian & Stephy Terrizzi — Owners of Giornata Wines & Etto Pastificio Giornata Wines Etto Pastificio 📍 Tin City, Paso Robles, CA 📸 Instagram: @giornatawines | @ettopastificio 🌟 TRAVEL PASO SPOTLIGHT Our spotlight this episode shines on Branden Cancino , President of the Downtown Paso Wine District and Tasting Room Manager at Tank Garage Winery .
