Alongside his wife, Pooja, Ryker joined the remarkable community of wineries in the Paso Robles appellation with the founding of Idola Wine Co. Ryker discovered his passion for wine while studying Kinesiology and Religious Studies at Cal Poly. During his senior year, he became a certified sommelier, laying the foundation for a career that would blend science, craftsmanship, and hospitality. After graduation, Ryker and Pooja moved to Miami, where he continued refining his expertise in the restaurant industry while Pooja completed her PA-C training. The Central Coast eventually called them home. Ryker began his winemaking career as an intern at Denner Vineyards, where he quickly rose to the role of Cellar Master under the mentorship of acclaimed winemaker Anthony Yount. He later became the winemaker for Cordant Winery and Misty Oaks Vineyard, where he continues to produce wines that reflect both precision and place. Driven by a desire to explore a more personal and creative approach to winemaking, Ryker and Pooja founded Idola Wine Co. in 2023. Focused on honest, minimal-intervention winemaking, their mission is to preserve the unique terroir of Paso Robles in every bottle. Inspired by Mediterranean wine traditions, Idola crafts wines that showcase balance, elegance, and a true sense of place. Their inaugural release, Collection I, beautifully captured that vision and established the foundation for the winery. With their second collection, Ryker and Pooja have continued to elevate their craft, producing another outstanding lineup that further reflects their commitment to authenticity, quality, and the extraordinary vineyards of Paso Robles. – Join us and Owner/Winemaker Ryker Wall This coming Tuesday, July 7th 5:30PM – 8PM $27 for 4 2.5oz pours
