 THE SHOW

 

The Judges visit Tinhorn

 

It’s the third annual Judgement  of BC.  Presented by Wines of BC

12 from around the World and 12 from BC. Poured head to head to see where BC stands in comparison.

This year we tasted the two most grown  varietals in BC  Pinot Gris and Merlot

 

12 BC Wines against 12 acknowledged global benchmarks. We are proud to announce BC’s Checkmate Black Rook Merlot 2013 from the Okanagan Valley ranked first among the flight of Merlot, and Kim Crawford Pinot Gris 2016 from Marlborough, New Zealand came out on top for the flight of Pinot Gris with BC placing third, fifth and sixth.

Hosted by the BC Wine Institute, and curated by celebrated Vancouver wine expert and Director of Wine at NewDistrict.ca DJ Kearney, the Judgment of BC third edition event took place last Friday in Summerland, during which 22 international and national wine judges tasted and ranked 24 wines.

The Judges

So much to talk about..

Each judge had to set aside the style of Pinot Gris that they preferred and just start fresh.

And the merlot judging has big bold dark fruit go head to head..with no sign of  lighter style.

One esteemed judge could only identify  2 BC wines out of 24 in a blind tasting.  The mind and palette play tricks on you.

 

Guests include:

 DJ Kearney – New District.ca

Rhys Pender – Master of Wine

Richard Hemming  – Master of Wine

Sid Cross – Food and Wine Educator and judge

Kurtis Kolt – Wine Expert

Michaela Morris – Wine Expert

And Yours Truly

There’s a huge fundraiser coming up next week before American Thanksgiving called ChefsGiving… and all the restaurants will be donating portions of their take.

 

 

I’m hoping Vancouver’s culinary teams would consider doing the same.

Kristian went from being the right-hand guy for Chef David Hawksworth and 5-star dining to being the Culinary Development Chef at the ever-expanding Browns SocialHouse Group.

Mulligan Stew-West Coast- Oct 21st- Guest Grant Lawrence & Dirty Windshields-Repeat

October 20, 2017 RAW Interviews, Weekly Playlists

hello



Grant Lawrence co-founded the band The Smugglers in his parents basement in West Vancouver.
They blazed through the 90’s..starting with church gigs arranged by friend Nardwuar, the human serviette.
Grant went on to become a freaking BROADCASTER of all things – at CBC..still to this very day and a national figure.
Bangs out books plays goalie, has a wonderful family and has released the book Dirty Windshields.
It’s about The Smugglers journey through the 90’s and how they somehow not only survived but carved out a career around the World.
Grant brings stories of he and a Python meeting in at pay phone  while being live on air.
Stories of he and Nardwuar knocking on my door in West Van on Halloween night..not for treats but advice on the music and radio business.
And I didn’t slam the door.
He reminds me that I’m in two Smugglers videos etc.
How does he remember all this?
Because he kept a diary.  Ingenious!
Corey Wood, webmaster, has placed  The RAW interview Here.  Enjoy!!

 Dirty Windshields is the long-awaited memoir from CBC host and award-winning author Grant Lawrence, baring all the salacious and hilarious details from his touring days as the lead singer of Vancouver-based rock and roll band The Smugglers. Formed when most of the members were still in high school, The Smugglers came of age during the height of the grunge explosion in the early 1990s, when Grant, working as a concert promoter, put on shows for Nirvana, Green Day and Bad Religion, among many others.
In Dirty Windshields, Grant chronicles the band’s booze-fueled, sweaty, broke and wayward attempts at rock and roll glory as they trekked across Canada, the United States, and eventually, Europe and the Pacific Rim. In their sixteen years of touring, the Smugglers experienced all the highs and lows the road can offer, from playing a gig at New York’s legendary CBGB club to starting a riot in a Denver nightclub to having their performance tuxes stolen in Australia.
 
Through the fights, sexual misadventures, new friendships, dance contests and mayhem, the band grew up together on the road. Told with Grant’s signature self-deprecating wit, the anecdotes develop into a compelling story of the growth of an independent, do-it-yourself touring band, a community, and a musical movement. So crack open a semi-cold can of Black Label beer, stick a Smugglers tape into the cassette deck and let the good times roll.

InterVin 2017 – The Gold Medal Rundown with The Wine Diva

Chef Ned Bell releases his cookbook book LURE. He wants your attention.

The Fighting Five take on The Supreme Court. I couldn’t be happier.

 

 

THE SHOW

 

Daenna Van Mulligen – The Wine Diva

It’s the results of the 2017 Intervin wine awards.

 

Terry and Daenna

65 wines struck gold at the 2017-18 InterVin International Wine Awards, an intensive three-day blind tasting competition. 1,200 wines from 16 countries judged by a panel of distinguished sommeliers, wine writers and winemakers.

“The increase in gold medal winners at this year’s InterVin wasn’t a matter of our standards slipping. The overall wine quality surged, thanks to incredibly strong categories of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Syrah,” says  Christopher Waters, editor of VINES Magazine and head judge of the InterVin International Wine Awards. “InterVin Gold Medals are awarded only those wines judged to be truly exceptional.”

 

Which is why Daenna van Mulligen – The Wine Diva joined me to talk about the Gold Medal Winners.

Here are the top 10 wineries from this year’s competition…

 

  • Cassini Cellars 
  • Church & State
  • Wolf Blass
  • La Frenz
  • Taylor’s
  • Nk’Mip
  • Quails’ Gate
  • Peller (Niagara)
  • Inniskillin
  • Cedar Creek

Chef Ned Bell    LURE.  Sustainable Seafood Recipes from the West Coast.

Every chef has a cookbook in them. Ned’s was far more than recipes and photos.

He’s on a mission.

To change our thinking on the World’s oceans and the fish and shell food in them.

He is seriously committed to holding restaurants, chefs, governments, industries and all of us accountable.

WE are the keepers of this planet and WE must make our living here sustainable.

 

Make no mistake, Ned’s also making sure that when you do buy local and sustainable he’s got the recipes to make the table rock.

It’s a really fine book and when you’re thinking about Holiday gifts, this book not only gives the owner all the info to set a great table but reminds them that we must leave the planet and its oceans as we found them for our children.

Ned is a force. On today’s show he’s also a leader, a speaker and someone who must be paid attention to.

 

 

But it’s also a book.. you know, words on paper.  Nothing that can harm you.

Shea Coulson – Represents The Fighting Five

Five small BC wineries have been granted permission to intervene by the Supreme Court of Canada in the inter-provincial shipping of liquor case R. v. Comeau. The Supreme Court will hear the case in early December 2017.

 

  1. v. Comeauis the first court case in which any winery in Canada has had an opportunity to address the legal barriers to inter-provincial shipping of Canadian wine.

 

Shea Coulson, of Coulson Litigation, will speak for 50th Parallel Estate, Liquidity Wines, Noble Ridge Vineyard and Winery, Okanagan Crush Pad Winery and Painted Rock Estate Winery, who advocate on behalf of small BC wineries.

Shea Coulson

. R. v. Comeau is the first court case in which any winery in Canada has had an opportunity to address the legal barriers to inter-provincial shipping of Canadian wine.

These provincially created barriers severely impede the businesses and financial viability of small wineries in British Columbia by prohibiting wineries from shipping to consumers in other provinces.

Curtis Krouzel (50th Parallel Estate), Ian MacDonald (Liquidity Wines), Jim D’Andrea (Noble Ridge Vineyard and Winery), Christine Coletta (Okanagan Crush Pad Winery), and John Skinner (Painted Rock Estate Winery) each run wineries that produce less than 50,000 cases of wine (at 12x750ml bottles) annually, and each makes wine exclusively using 100% Canadian grown grapes.

These five producers head a coalition of more than 100 small wineries from British Columbia (The Coalition of Small BC Wineries) who seek to change the law governing inter-provincial shipping of wine and liquor across Canada.

All wineries in the Coalition have limited national distribution due to inter-provincial trade barriers. These barriers pose an existential threat to small wineries, which need national distribution to build a sufficient revenue base for long-term survival. As such, the Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Comeau will determine the fate of the BC wine industry for decades to come.

 

 

  1. v. Comeau will also impact hundreds of other small wineries in other provinces across Canada and has the potential of opening up inter-provincial trade of Canadian liquor, and specifically “direct to consumer” selling, in every province in Canada.

“My clients’ aim is to inform the Court about the significant negative impact on small BC wineries created by inter-provincial barriers that prohibit shipment of wine to Canadians across the country, and why it is of fundamental importance to the future survival of the industry to remove these barriers.

Whichever way the Court decides, R. v. Comeau will have a monumental effect on the Canadian liquor industry and addresses questions at the heart of Canada’s federalist constitution.”

Mulligan Stew October14th 2017-Barney Bentall–The Preacher and The Drifter

October 14, 2017 Weekly Playlists

hello


 

As  Chevy Chase told Dan Aykroyd and  Gilda Radner  on SNL years ago..”New Shimmer is  a floor wax AND a desert topping”
Today’s Mulligan Stew is New Shimmer in music form.
Yes its 2 hours of boogie, soul, rock, and blues
BUT it’s also an interview stage…I get to interview Barney Bentall under an apple tree at this summer’s Filberg Festival in Courtney/Comox.

On Friday Barney released The Drifter and The Preacher,  his first solo album in 5 years and it’s a beauty. Strong songs with appearances by son Dustin, by pal Jim Cuddy and a song for a dear friend John Mann from Spirit of the West.  There’s also news about a John Mann night at the Commodore Nov 19 with a true all-star cast.
We also hope to find Terra Lightfoot in a car on her way to The Winspear in Edmonton. She’s opening for WhiteHorse tonight and all across the country.

Wednesday in Mission BC and Thursday at The Vogue in Vancouver.
In between all of this chat we’re also doing a guitar special.  Not your wanking,  string bending, watch my fingers guitar playing but people who actually changed music and were copied by all who followed.
Such as Clapton, Jimi, SRV, BB, Ry, Steve Cropper, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and all the guys who backed up James Brown.
Lots of pickers on this show.
Let me leave you with a thought for the day…
 

New Shimmer ”for the greatest shine you ever tasted”

 
Cheers, TDM

 Vanessa Vineyards  (Similkameen Valley)

 This is a winery to follow.

They have made it known that Vanessa Winery will be nothing less than the best Red Wine makers in Canada.

Vanessa is making wines in a valley that looks like a Mars landscape.  Tough conditions but if the vines survive and dig deep..perfect for exceptional fruit.

Have a look at the winemaking pedigree.

The master wine maker is Howard Soon, one of the groundbreaking originals in BC Wines.

Howard Soon

 

 

His signature winery was Sandhill, where he made Small Lots offerings that became the stuff of legends.

One of the reasons he was so successful was his ability to recognize the perfect wine growing regions of The Okanagan.

 

 

One of the vineyards that Howard worked with was The Vanessa Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley.

Howard was also smart enough to work with old friends Richard Cleave and Roberts Goltz… who know the valley better than ANYBODY.

 

We talk to Howard Soon, and  co-owners Suki Sehcon and John Welson.

John Welson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is going to be a fantastic story to follow.

Some pull harder than others, for various reasons.
The death of Tom Petty at 66 just stopped me cold.
I spent a day with him..the week his first album came out, right in the heart of Hollywood.
Really liked the man. The person.
No BS. Honest. Completely true to the spirit of rock and roll. He felt it was an honor to be passing through life making music and entertaining.

On our next meeting, Tom gave me a signed copy of an album called Official Live ‘Leg..recorded in Boston 1976. On Vinyl. Four tracks on one side and nothing on the other. Only 500 copies pressed.
Al Kooper sat in on organ.
I’m going to play two songs from that album and a whole lot more from other albums.
Also a segment of artists who were friends and admirers that covered Tom’s songs.
Johnny Cash. Linda Ronstadt. John Mayer. Ridley Bent.

Also featured on the show are interviews and music from Sarah Slean and Whitehorse (Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet)
Sarah is on tour performing music from Metaphysics with a string quartet and Whitehorse have just come from performing Neil Young’s Ohio at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame – with Neil right in front of them…Row 3.
Lots to talk about.

“Kamloops isn’t much of a wine town”

Hitting the Kamloops Wine Trail

And talking Mushrooms with Bill Jones

“Kamloops isn’t much of a wine town”.

That was the first comment I heard from my old home town when I asked 8
years ago.

Unbelievably Wrong!!

It was a great wine town but they didn’t have any investment in the wine
business.

Now they have their own wine region  (Thompson Valley) and more wineries on
the horizon.

We visit :

Harpers Trail –

The first winery. Opened in 2012.

Owners Vikki and Ed Collett take us through the years to today’s portfolio.

(their Ace-in- the-Hole is Consulting Winemaker Michael Bartier)

Ed and Vicki Collett – Owners of Harper’s Trail

They haven’t just built a winery, they’ve created a destination.

And they’re  not done yet!  More construction coming. Even better wines as
well.

Privato Winery

John and Debbie Woodward are the Proprietors  of Privato Winery.

John was a specialist in growing trees for landscaping, thus he was ready
made to do the same with vines.

Debbie is just a force!

Nobody tells the story of Kamloops and Privato better.

She’s the accountant, the marketing department  and is all over harvest and
crush time.

This year alone Privato won:

Gold – 2014 Woodward Collection Tesoro Pinot Noir – All Canadian Wine
Championships 2017

_____

Best Pinot Noir – 2012 Grande Réserve Pinot Noir – BC Best of Varietal
Awards 2017

_____

Silver – 2014 Woodward Collection Tesoro Pinot Noir – BC Best of Varietal
Awards 2017

Monte Creek

It’s a Ranch.  Not a winery that decided to sell itself as a ranch.

Their ranch has 65 acres of vines planted at two estate vineyards,  Monte
Creek and Lions Head,  as well as an impressive  herd of cattle, and horses.

Their fine  winemaker is Galen Barnhardt who grew up in the Shuswap region
but has travelled the World learning his craft.

One walk through this winery and you can see a serious commitment to the
future.  Great destination.

Ten minutes outside Kamloops, conveniently on the highway to The Okanagan
and Alberta.
