He calls Paso Robles a, "drinking town with a farming problem", and when you chat with Patrick Brooks from Wine Shine, you get the vibe he's talking about and why coining that phrase was so clutch. Wine Shine is one of the O.G. members of Tin City, which is a popular industrial area of artisan producers of wine, beer, sprits, and more in central Paso. Tin CIty has gained a lot of momentum in the last few years, and houses not only some great drank, but home to some great personalities as well. Wine Shine and its partners have been long involved in the Paso wine scene, and those connections afforded them the ability to put their crazy ideas of taking spirits to the next level a reality. We talk orange drank, single vineyard designate hand sanitizer, and getting fact checked by the OC Weekly for simply making Grand Marnier your bitch. In addition to tasting the Wine Shine, we will talk about their products under their Tin City Distillery line like their vodka, and canned vodka sparkling lemonade which is just crushable! Although this episode, we hear from Patrick, meeting all the guys behind Wine Shine, you see first hand all the talents and acumen that go into this brand and its mission. One of the other distillers, Don Burns, is a super popular winemaker with his brand, Turtle Rock, which has a great cult following, also with a tasting room in Tin City (another show idea for sure). The only thing bigger than Patrick's personality is the heart for what he does in the distillery, and in the classroom. Classroom? Yes, I said classroom.
