The world of Paso winemaking is an exciting and dramatic one, and now it finally has its own reality show! Check out The Winemakers, a six episode series broadcasting nationwide on PBS (for a complete schedule and local airtimes, click here).

Like any reality television series, the show features a group of men and women selected to compete against one another in various challenges created by wine critics, sommeliers, and of course, other winemakers, all in hopes of being chosen as the top winemaker in the bunch.  The winner, along with receiving the title of “The Winemaker”, will then receive financing so that they can start their own wine label.

Best of all, this show is set entirely against the backdrop of Paso Robles wine country.  This year marks the first season that the show has been aired, but casting has already bene completed for season 2.  Everybody be sure to tune in, and let us know what you think of Paso’s national reality-series debut!

I have yet to manage to catch an episode (sadly, my house is barren of those handy DVR devices), but I’ll be sure to let everyone know when I do!
