THE SHOW
Some wine fans follow labels, some follow grapes, some follow regions and some follow Winemakers.
Can I please suggest one winemaker you may want to follow? Jason Parkes!
First of all he’s born in Peachland, so the man knows his fruit.
He’s fronted two punk bands. OK, that has nothing to do with wine-making but there’s a do-it-yourself attitude in the punk/post-punk community and that works in a vineyard/cellar…
He started making wine in the Okanagan to pay the bills and get his band’s van back on the road.
Now, after multiple harvests, he’s gathered around him a great team of growers, cellar hands and winemakers.
It shows in the wines he creates.

2016 WINE ALIGN AWARDS OF CANADA, THEY WERE NAMED THE 9TH BEST WINERY IN ALL OF CANADA. 5TH BEST IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Here’s what they say about themselves..
The Hatch is the absolute culmination of the wants and dreams of a select, rare and bizarre cadre of people who are unconcerned about the convention and now have a chance to show the world exactly what real wine, real hospitality and real people are all about. ‘the hatch’ is the direct confluence of all our favourite arts.
The liquid arts, the visual arts and the living arts; finally together and together forever.
That answers the ‘what’, but also asked is the ‘why’. Why ‘the hatch’? Because the time is long overdue for something like this to enter your life, and more-so; to make your life that much better. Now it’s time to shut-up and go drink some wine.
Jason Parkes brings lots of stories to the edition of Tasting Room Radio. Great fun. Fabulous wines.
Drink the future!!

Lick Your Plate – Authors Julie Albert and Lisa Gnat
Yes, they are sisters and best friends, they each have 3 kids and they live within 5 blocks of each other.
julie and lisa
These sisters create a force in any kitchen. Julie writes… Lisa Cooks.
Julie and Lisa have released their third cookbook Lick Your Plate. A follow up to Bite Me and Bite me Too!
The girls write about food and family (family first).
They talk with me about Sloppy Joe’s, Baja Fish Tacos, Slutty brownies and the fact that it takes Twinkies 45 seconds to explode in a microwave!
We do take time to go back and remember their Grandmother. Alice Leiberman welcomed them into her kitchen and very likely set this whole career in motion.
We also get sidetracked into their fave MuchMusic VJ, Bon Jovi and what BC wines I’m recommending to these two Torontonians
Lick Your Plate offers 160 original recipes, several 30-minute dinner ideas, tips, tricks, mouthwatering visuals, funny anecdotes, drool-worthy descriptions of every recipe, and is perfect for everyone from the beginner to the well-seasoned home cook.
“We’re not Martha telling someone to make the eight-hour broth, but we’re also not Rachael Ray saying put cheese on toast. There is that happy medium,” says Gnat, who developed the recipes.
The sisters say they understand the importance of accessible recipes, where all the ingredients can be bought in one shop.
“We love and admire ‘the foodie’ and we’re happy to sit down to a gourmet meal. And we are all about fresh flavours and great food. But we also live in the real world with six kids between us. We don’t always have that sort of time and inclination to go on a goose chase for fig paste,” says Julie.
