THE SHOW
Joseph Luckhurst – GM of Road 13 kicks off this week’s show.
Joe is the son of founders Mick and Pam Luckhurst. As such, he’s been handed a lot of responsibility.
Keep the fans of Road 13 happy and at the same time look for new ways to move the winery forward.
Joe has started planning the future with winemaker JM Bouchard and the future looks bright.
The first two releases we talk about are their new Marsanne and Roussanne offerings.
This isn’t just two more varietals for the market. These releases represent, in part, the possible future identity for the label.
Rhone varietals. Grown in BC.
They’re on to something because The Roussanne is spectacular.
And the GSM they’ve also released is very much what you could expect in The Rhone!
GSM is a fine blend of Grenache.Syrah.Movedre
Joe and JM believe that this is what Road 13 can do best down the road.
It’s going to be fun to watch and taste the growth.
And just when Joe thought the interview was done..I decided to ask the question..What the heck is going on with the name Golden Mile?
They gave it up the name in 2009 and became Road 13. SIX years later.. it feels like there’s still no serious push to establish that sub appellation.
Press releases aside..The Golden Mile needs to step up and run with the name.
Daenna van Mulligen returns from multiple wine tours around the world..and steps into her other persona as – The Wine Diva.
Wine-Diva
One of her journeys took her to a specific region of Portugal, The Douro Valley and a very famous Port House Fonseca ! http://www.fonseca.pt/
Vintage Port runs like a continuous thread through Fonseca’s history. Since the legendary 1840, the first Vintage Port made under the Fonseca name, the firm has produced a steady stream of magnificent wines, including such landmark vintages as 1927, 1948, 1977 and 1994, all of them 100-point wines. These, among many others, have firmly established Fonseca as one of the finest ‘first growth’ Vintage Port producers. The 2011 Has been declared the best in perhaps 30 years.
How long has Fonseca been making wine? Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo 10 weeks after they first opened their doors.
Daenna will also bring some fresh reviews from her very cool website www.winediva.ca
Speaking of Portugal..Domingos Soares Franco is a larger than life winemaker from Jose Maria da Fonseca.. They are based in the Setubal Peninsula, the Portuguese wine region immediately south and east of Lisbon, across the Tejo estuary
They also are celebrating 200 years of business.
They first created Moscatel of Setubal in 1849 and the popular Periquita Brand in 1850.
Domingos Soares Franco, winemaker and vice president, is the sixth generation of the family that runs the José Maria da Fonseca.
He studied in Davis, California and began working at José Maria da Fonseca in the 80s Since then, it has introduced numerous changes in the wines produced by this company, becoming one of the most innovative winemakers of the new generation in Portugal.
Engaging and larger-than-life, DSF continues to visit Canada on a regular basis. He says it’s the only way to expand their fan base. Hands on..meet, greet and taste. http://www.jmf.pt/
Sileni Estates
… and finally- over a year ago I had the joy of touring New Zealand and its wineries. One of the destinations was Hawkes Bay and one of the wineries was Sileni Estates and Grant Edmonds, Chief Winemaker
Grant has over 20 years experience in the New Zealand wine industry, including the position of Chief Winemaker for the Villa Maria Group and Esk Valley Estates.
Grant is passionate about Merlot, an affair beginning at Esk Valley Estates and further fuelled by working the vintage at Chateau Pavie in St Emillon in 1990. This spurred Grant on to develop his own label Redmetal in 1996 and to join Graeme Avery to create Sileni Estates from the ground up in 1997.
Grants takes us through
Sauvignon Blanc Cellar and the Sileni Cellar Pinot Noir. Two of their most popular releases.
Also comments on Syrah & Merlot in the region plus new planting of Spanish and Italian varietals!
Grant also weights in on what the world wants now from their Marlborough Sauv Blanc, Chardonnay in Hawkes Bay and how NZ is doing around the World!
(one of the few regions that’s grown consistently over the past 5 years)
Thanks Grant – Say Hi to Rachel and The Twins!!

Mulligan Stew June 13th 2015-Leiber and Stoller
hello
Jerome “Jerry” Leiber and Mike Stoller were American songwriting and record producing partners. Stoller was the composer and Leiber the lyricist.
Leiber and Stoller’s initial successes were as the writers of such crossover hit songs as “Hound Dog” and “Kansas City”. Later in the 1950s, particularly through their work with The Coasters, they created a string of ground-breaking hits that are some of the most entertaining in rock and roll, by using the humorous vernacular of the teenagers sung in a style that was openly theatrical rather than personal, songs that include “Young Blood”, “Searchin'”, and “Yakety Yak”. They were the first to surround black music with elaborate production values, enhancing its emotional power with The Drifters in “There Goes My Baby”, and influencing Phil Spector, who studied their productions while playing guitar on their sessions.
Leiber and Stoller wrote hits for Elvis Presley including “Love Me”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Loving You”, “Don’t”, and “King Creole”.[3] They also collaborated with other writers on such songs as “On Broadway”, written with Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil; “Stand By Me”, written with Ben E. King; “Young Blood”, written with Doc Pomus; and “Spanish Harlem”, co-written by Leiber and Phil Spector. In 1964, they launched Red Bird Records with George Goldner and, focusing on the “girl group” sound, released some of the greatest classics of the Brill Building period.
In all, Leiber and Stoller wrote or co-wrote In all over 70 chart hits. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

June 13th, 2015 – Spain, Chablis, Priorat and Provence
hello
The Wine Diva returns with tales of Spain and Chablis..
Xavier Penas – From Gran Clos in Priorat
Valerie LeLong – brings the Rose of Provence.
And our replay of a visit to Benziger in Sonoma… with Chris Benziger.

THE SHOW
Wine-Diva
Daenna van Mulligen/The Wine Diva has been on the road from most of May and June.
Two of the wine regions she visited were Spain and Chablis.
Daenna headed for the South of Spain and an association of wineries called The Grandes Pagos de Espana.
Its goal, to preserve the rich culture of estate-made wine in Spain and in many instances, unique Spanish grape varieties.
This group has dedicated itself to discovering and replanting many of the old original vineyards of Spain. These vines are dry farmed..no water..which will serve them well given the changing environment.. Daenna came back very excited about the possibilities of this group..their biggest hurdle is to let the World their story.
Grandes Pagos
One story that stood out for Daenna was Valdespino.
“The origins of the Bodega Valdespino date back to 1264 A.D. The first member of the Valdespino family to cultivate and age Sherry wines was Don Alfonso Valdespino, one of 24 Christian Knights who fought for King Alonso to re-conquer the City of Jerez from the Moors.
As a reward for a successful battle, the King rewarded the Knights, by giving them land in the City of Jerez.
Valdespino also produces Fino Inocente, the only Sherry wine whose grapes are harvested from only one vineyard, the Macharnudo Estate. It is also unique in that it is the only Sherry wine fermented in oak barrels, being now the norm to ferment in stainless steel tanks.
Chablis vineyards
And then to France and Chablis. Chablis the region –part of Burgundy – and a star in its own right.
It’s their version of chardonnay..whether its Petite Chablis, premier cru etc.
Daenna is working on an in-depth look into Chablis – the wines, vineyards, soils, expositions and, of course, foods.
Find it all at www.winediva.ca
Xavier Penas – Gran Clos (Priorat)
Priorat is a small but dynamic region in the North East of Spain.
Priorat is famed for its startling views, pure air and azure skies. It has an ancient history stretching back to the Phonecians.
Vines, like people, often reach their peak in the face of adversity. This highly limited cuvée is hand made from 100-year-old vines that suffer daily to survive in dense slate soils on steep hillsides. Their fruit offers a unique mineral complexity that could come from no other place on earth and has done so since Carthusian monks first planted vines in Priorat in the 12th century (Priorat is the Catalan word for ‘priory’).
Old Spanish vines
Xavier Penas is the General Manager of this esteemed winery.
Currently we can only buy Finca el Puig..great blend.
BUT soon we’ll finally get to try the big two
Gran Clos and the mighty CARTUS.
Valerie LeLong The wines of Provence…
Valerie Lelong has one of the best jobs in wine..she’s the face and voice for the Rose’ winemakers of Provence. all 600 of them.
Provence Rose is being featured in selected BC Govt. Liquor stores for the month of June.
As weird as it seems Valerie, in her job as the export marketing and communications manager is here to remind us HOW GREAT ROSE IS…
Valerie Lelong Wines of Provence
How could anyone forget that?
I know some guys have a problem being seen with “The pink” but truly that’s their problem.
It’s great year round..but right now it’s the answer to a lot of questions.
Such as “What shall I bring?”
wines in Provence
Chris Benziger/ Benziger Wines Sonoma
Chris Benziger
Benziger Family Winery, founded more than 30 years ago by a pioneering Sonoma Valley wine family who helped bring green farming practices into the mainstream, is being sold to one of the world’s largest producers of low-priced wines.
The Wine Group, the world’s third-largest wine company with such budget brands as Franzia, Almaden and Corbett Canyon, announced Monday it has purchased the winery in Glen Ellen and its nearby sister winery, Imagery.
Financial terms were not disclosed, though industry estimates ranged from less than $90 million to slightly more than $100 million.
It is the second blockbuster deal in two decades for the Benziger family, which built its first wine brand, Glen Ellen, into the largest wine label in Sonoma County before selling it in 1993 to Heublein for an estimated $80 million.
Mike Benziger, founder and chief executive officer of his family winery, said The Wine Group will continue the green farming tradition that has been the calling card of the winery he founded with his late father in 1980.
Here’s an on site interview with Mike’s brother Chris, who is responsible for the farming of this iconic property.
Great guy..He’ll be VP of trade relations.
PS… the entire family moved to Sonoma from that great wine region- NEW JERSEY – many years ago.

Terry David Mulligan Friday mornings
Mulligan Stew June 6th 2015-Rare Tom Petty, The River and the Road Interview & More…
hello
For the first that I can remember, I’ve invited an artist to guest on the show two weeks in a row.
Must be some artist..right?
The Band is The River and the Road..and they are mighty good.
Their album is called Headlights..
I found John Hayes, bassist for the band and forced him to talk to me and answer searing questions!!
Such as ..
did you all busk together at the beginning?
You’re from the Salmon Capitol of the World – Campbell River?
Differences between Alberta audiences and The Coast?
Does he think they sound like Neil Young and Crazy Horse on Mistakes?
The experience of flying to Australia and spending considerable time playing there.
The other very special musical treat is a very rare piece of Vinyl from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
is a one sided Live Album from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It was meant as a radio Promo release and was issued by Leon Russell’s Shelter Records in 1977.
It was recorded at Paul’s Mall in Boston when they opened for Al Kooper Dec 12 1976. I was told once there were only 500 copies made. I’ve never heard it being played on anyone’s show before.
This is raw rock from a band about to step into history.
We’re going to play all four tracks..
Jaguar and the Thunderbird Ford – a Chuck Berry cracker.
Fooled Again – from their first self titled LP.. for most in the audience..its a new song because its only a month old. All Kooper joins them on stage.
Luna – also from first LP
Dog on the Run – over 9 minutes..classic Petty Riffs. Would show up later – rearranged and much shorter – on 1985’s Southern Accents.
Also one really fine found single..its a demo
From Jim Foster – called Radio ON.
Its starts Hour two..
I may keep playing it until it’s the summer hit of 2o15
-TDM
About the River and The Road…
The River and The Road is a band built on risking new beginnings and telling their stories along the way.
After crossing an ocean, leaving a hemisphere, and a long stint hitch hiking across the American Southwest, singer/guitarist Andrew Phelan made his way to Chicago with the looming need to cross into Canada for work. He had two flight choices—Montreal or Vancouver—and flying west was cheaper. Once there, he found a healthy contest in singer/banjo player Keenan Lawlor, who had been playing around Vancouver for the previous eight months. Keenan had moved across water to forge a new path, but in his case, it was the Georgia Strait instead of the Pacific Ocean. In the beginning the two butted heads, seeing in each other the greatest competition for the attention of an East Vancouver open mic audience. Competition turned to collaboration, busking, and living on scraps together to make their musical existence possible. After several months as a duo, and experimentation with additional instrumentation, they recorded their debut eponymous twelve-track album. In the spring of 2012, the band emerged as a dynamic four-piece with the addition of drummer Cole George and bassist John Hayes.
In their short history as a band, The River and The Road has grown from a busking duo to an internationally touring quartet. Winter 2013 saw the boys working to stitch their name into the musical fabric of Australia, most notably in Sydney and Melbourne. The band has toured extensively across Canada, completing two coast-to-coast tours among many other regional tours. They are currently filling their summer calendar with festival dates and preparing for their third cross-Canada tour this spring in support of their second full length album, to be released Spring 2015 through MapleMusic Recordings.
Tenacity, heart, and above all else, a gripping live performance, the band has no plans of slowing down. Sincere storytelling mixed with strong harmonies, heavy percussion breakdowns and dynamic arrangements, embodies the sound of The River and The Road.

hello
Special Guest Madisen Ward
Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear made their network television debut on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” The acclaimed mother and son duo performed “Silent Movies” from their upcoming debut album Skeleton Crew, which will be released on May 19, 2015 on Glassnote Records/Universal Music Canada.
After recently making waves at Lucian Grainge’s UMG Grammy showcase and last fall’s Americana Music Festival, the Kansas City-based duo will celebrate the release with a series of special tour dates this spring and summer, including performances at SXSW, Bonnaroo and the Newport Folk Festival.
RECENT CRITICAL PRAISE

“There is NOTHING more beautiful raw and perfect as Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear in this entire country right now.”—Paste
“…they sing some of the most honest and heartfelt folk music I’ve heard in some time. Everybody form a line.”
—WXPN’s 10 Artists To Watch in 2015
“…the duo’s raw, inscrutable chemistry was in full effect as they handily made a case as an inevitable force to be reckoned with in the days to come.”—Rolling Stone Country
“… absolutely blown away by this unique mother-and-son duo…”—CMT Edge
“…there is unique, intangible magic about them…”—Aquarium Drunkard
“…melodic and instantly engaging but filled with twists and surprises.”—The Kansas City Star

THE SHOW
This time of year the wineries of the World are releasing various vintages and assorted varietals.
This week its New Zealand, Argentina and Italy.
(Next week it’s the First Families of Australian wine)
Our NZ guests include:
Robert Ketchin – Wines of NZ Canada
Rob Cameron – Invivo http://www.invivowines.com/
Martin Carrington – Wiamia Estates www.waimeaestates.co.nz
Jim Robertson Global Wine Ambassador – Stoneleigh www.stoneleigh.co.nz
Hawsley MacDonald – Te Pa www.tepawines.com
Alamos is one of Argentina’s wines to watch.
Alamos Winemaker Felipe Stahlschmidt finds inspiration for his wines by climbing the snow-covered peaks of the Andes Mountains and gazing at the majestic vineyards that have made Argentina famous in the world of wine.
Philipe Stahlschmidt
“The mountains here create the terruño, or terroir, in our vineyards,” Felipe says. “They keep the storms out of our valleys. They bring us pure water from snowmelt. They make the winds that cool the vineyards. They are an essential part of the nature of this place.”
Felipe believes that great wine represents the terruño of the vineyard. For him, Alamos wines, exuberant and full of character, are a beautiful expression of what nature and humans can create when they work in harmony. Felipe also works to create quality wines that are affordable and pair well with food, handcrafting each Alamos varietal using techniques typically reserved for wines at a much higher price point. The result is a flavorful collection of quality wines at an extraordinary value.
After graduating from the prestigious Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Mendoza with a winemaking degree in 2003, Felipe joined Alamos as an assistant winemaker in 2006. Today, he oversees winemaking for all Alamos wines.
Alois on left with his family
Tatiana Nessier was born in Northern Argentina’s remote and breathtaking Salta region, well known for its concentrated wines and rugged landscape. After attending an American high school in Venezuela, Tatiana returned to Argentina to attend Congreso University in Mendoza, where she studied international relations. It was partway through these studies when her passion for wine took root.
Tatiana Nessier
“At Alamos, we get to meet and talk with some of the best winemakers and viticulturists in Argentina—so it’s very exciting,” Tatiana completed her sommelier studies in 2013 and received the title of international sommelier, endorsed by the prestigious CETT (Tourism and Hospitality University, Barcelona, Spain). “I really appreciate the philosophy of Alamos wines,” she says. “They are easy to drink, offer vibrant fruit and honor the typicity of grape variety and place.”
Alois Clemens Lageder – Born in 1987, Alois Clemens Lageder is part of the sixth generation to be involved in the family vineyard Alois Lageder in Alto Adige, Italy. Lageder’s wine education included travel to Germany, the USA, and France, where he also worked for well-known wineries such as Burgundy’s Domaine Marquis d’Angerville. He holds an executive Master for Family Entrepreneurship from the Zeppelin University in Germany.
Alois Lageder Winery – Alois Lageder is a synonym for the highest standard of quality in viticulture and winemaking, for a sustainable, holistic corporate philosophy, and for a wide spectrum of cultural and artistic activities. Founded in 1823, and now under the sixth generation of family ownership, the winery is committed to promoting biodynamic agriculture and embraces innovative ideas, as indicated by its newly constructed gravity-fed winemaking complex.
Alto Adige – Located between Alpine and Mediterranean climates, with winegrowing elevations that range from 200 to 1,000 meters (600 to 3,300 feet) above sea level, Italy’s Alto Adige region offers just 5,300 hectares (13,100 acres) of vineyard area but around twenty grape varieties. It is one of Italy’s smallest winegrowing regions, but produces a disproportionate number of premium, world-class wines.
