In this special Friday edition of Up+Adam, we’re switching things up with three engaging conversations that take us from community impact to furry friends and finally, a taste of the wine world! First, Adam sits down with Liz Summer, the newly appointed CEO of United Way of San Luis Obispo County. Liz shares her incredible journey of over three decades serving the Central Coast, her vision for the future of United Way, and how you can make a difference during their upcoming donation match campaign that starts Monday 9/30 until 10/4 with ITW Global Tire Repair. To learn more about their programs or to donate, visit UNITED WAY HERE. For more on ITW Global Tire Repair and their community efforts, check them out HERE.

Next, Robin Coleman from Woods Humane Society introduces us to this week’s Pet of the Week, a charming dog named Perrier who’s ready to find his forever home. Perrier’s sweet and spirited nature makes him the perfect addition to any family. Check out Perrier’s adoption page HERE, or browse other adorable dogs available for adoption at Woods HERE.

Finally, Adam wraps up with a fun, exclusive sneak peek from his latest episode of Where Wine Takes You, featuring winemakers Martin Croad of Croad Vineyards and Kevin Jussila of Kukkula Winery. In this episode, titled “Heritage & Harvest,” the two winemakers discuss how their unique cultural backgrounds—Martin from New Zealand and Kevin from Finland—shape their approach to crafting wines in Paso Robles. Plus, you’ll get to hear a hilarious clip where the group tries Vegemite for the first time, an iconic Aussie spread with a bold flavor that’s not for the faint of heart! Catch the full episode and all the laughs HERE.
